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.
