"Here, in the spring of 1632, was established New Hampshire's
first settlement, Pannaway Plantation. David Thompson and other hardy fishermen came from England to
colonize and develop trade. They built a stone manor house, smithy, cooperage, fort and stages for
drying fish on nearby Flake Hill. Thompson's son, John, was the first child born in New Hampshire."
