Two More NH Historical Markers

Last Monday Dan and I headed north to see the northern part of New Hampshire. We took our passports along because we figured we would cross the border to Canada to return home.

I didn't take many photos but we did stop at two historical markers of significance.

 



I'd never heard of Indian Stream until the guy who wrote the book on the NH historical markers made his presentation and featured Indian Stream. This historical marker was the first to be installed in 1958.  The township is now called Pittsburg and is the largest township in New Hampshire. 

Here's a map from the internet. Our route north took us past all three Connecticut Lakes which are on the eastern border of Indian Stream.



The reason for Indian Stream is that the land was claimed by both Canada and the U.S. You can see by the map that the dividing line could have been along the Connecticut and not Hall's Stream.  While the U.S. and Canada disagreed, the residents of the area took it upon themselves to create their own republic.  You can read more about the dispute here on Wikpedia.

And we did come back through Quebec into Vermont but didn't make any stops or take one photo.
