Odiorne's Point
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.
