I am collecting (very slowly) all the NH historic markers (following up on a pandemic project) and most are very accessible. I really appreciate that! I think they should move this sign to a more accessible area. It even says "near here" so it doesn't have to be exactly right there!

I love those road sign history facts, but most are in places you cannot stop easily. Then again, you cannot change the location of an historical event.

This one says "near here" so I'm guessing the area wasn't so inaccessible when the sign went up!

The old forge could be paved over by now. This happens a great deal. Or else nature takes over sites.

This is interesting; I love history, especially about the American Revolution. I wonder how historians know for sure who made the sword. Did he engrave his name or initials on it? Is it documented in a paper trail?

Yes indeed! He inscribed all his swords, including the one in the Smithsonian!
