HISTORIC SITE

 

Explore the remains of an extensive northern plantation built just before the outbreak of the American Revolution. Built by New Hampshire's second Royal Governor, John Wentworth, the mansion burned to the ground in 1820. It has been the site of a recent archaeological dig where artifacts have been carefully pieced together. The artifacts reveal details about daily life and work methods of the privileged class of the period.

Governor John Wentworth Historic Site is located on Rt. 109 in Wolfeboro, NH.
