NORTH HAVERHILL, NH The EBENEZER MACKINTOSH HISTORIC MARKER [8] describes Mackintosh's escapades before coming to North Haverhill. As a known participant in the Boston Tea Party, and for the sake of his own and his children's safety, Ebenezer walked to North Haverhill in early 1774. |

| Continue south on Rte 10 (also known as Dartmouth College Highway) for about .6 miles from the Mackintosh marker. This can be a busy road so be careful when you park. Here you will find a stone marker. | ||||||||||||
| The FIRST GRAFTON COUNTY COURT-HOUSE AND JAIL MARKER [9] is where the first Grafton County Courthouse stood. The marker was in disrepair for many years and was only recently restored. | ||||||||||||
| Continue south on Rte 10 for approximately .7 mile where, on the left and standing above the junction with Rte 116, is a SOLDIER'S MONUMENT [10]. Virtually every town in New England has its version, but this particular monument was dedicated in 1912, the year of Haverhill's 150th anniversary celebration. | ||||||||||||
| Continue south on Rte 10 down a dip, past a farm on the right, and up a short steep hill (about 1.6 miles from the Soldier Monument). Because this is a difficult place to park a car, we suggest only cyclists stop to look across the field to the right to see the imposing 1898 red brick HOME OF GOVERNOR HENRY W. KEYES [11] , just visible through the trees. Henry W. Keyes served as governor of New Hampshire during World War I and later became a U.S. senator. Perhaps more widely known than the governor was his wife, the best-selling novelist, Frances Parkinson Keyes. | ||||||||||||
| Continue south on Rte 10 (about 2 miles) past the North Haverhill Fairground and up a slope. | ||||||||||||
