Littleton, NH
Welcome to a truly unique tale that gallops right out of the 1900s! In the quaint town of Littleton lived Eli Wallace, who adored his wife Myra, a horse lover who couldn't have kids. When Eli's beloved horses passed, he created a horse cemetery. The horses were buried with their bridles, harnesses, blankets and even their feed boxes. Sadly, a year later, Myra also passed away. Eli then left the cemetery and a treasure trove of cash to Littleton Regional Hospital to ensure the final resting place of his horses received the care it deserved to this very day!
Dummer, NH
Isn't it intriguing that there's a town named Dummer in New Hampshire? It's named after William Dummer, the Governor of Massachusetts, who, much like a superhero of the 1700s, valiantly defended the eastern English provinces against the French and their Native American allies during a tumultuous period. Don't be misled by its quirky name! Although Dummer may lack a bustling business scene, this only enhances its distinct charm. If you're not vigilant, you might just cruise right past this quaint town, home to only 317 residents.
