"These scenic falls, 1.6 miles west of here on the
Lamprey River, once provided waterpower and industry for the early settlers. A deed dated April 11,
1694, shows that Capt. Packer, Jonathan Woodman, James Davis, Joseph Meder, and James Thomas were
granted "the hole streame of Lamprele River for erecting a saw mill or mills." Thomas Packer of
Portsmouth was a merchant, physician, judge, member of the King's Council, and father of the famous
Sheriff Thomas Packer." erected 1985 |
