Poore Farmily Homestead 2015 Hours and Events

The Poore Family Homestead Historic Farm Museum 
2015 Hours and Events


The Poore Farm Museum is an historic homestead / settlement documenting one family's life from the 1830's to the 1980s.  The house, barns and outbuildings are all in original condition and reflect their use and era.   The feeling one gets when you enter the homestead is to step back in time, to one that existed prior to rural electrification of the northern most regions of NH.
