HERE STOOD WENTWORTH HOUSE, the county seat of John Wentworth, last royal governor
of New Hampshire, built in 1769, destroyed by fire in 1820.
"Whoever may possess by seat at Wolfeborough, I charge him not to disgrace its
name by turning the lingering feet of the children of calamity uncomforted from
that door whose hinges will gladly extend to receive such friends of the founders."
– John Wentworth
