 PEOPLE OF THE DAWN LAND
For at least 10,000 years before European settlement, this region was the home of Native American tribes. Indians traveled with the weather, spending summers on the coast where they were extraordinary fishers and hunters. Precious little evidence of these people are on display locally.

 WHITE MEN ARRIVING
New Hampshire dates its first European settlement as 1623. But explorers visited at least two decades before. Fisherman from Europe apparently inhabited the Isles of Shoals as early as 1600. And suddenly the life of New Hampshire coastal Natives changed for all time. |

IT HAPPENED HERE TOO
The heart of the Revolution beat strongly in Seacoast New Hampshire. Four months
before Lexington and Concord, Portsmouth had thrown off its British governor.
George Washington's secretary Tobias Lear was a local boy. His father built John
Paul Jones ship Ranger. NH militia outnumbered all others at Bunker Hill. These
are stories still missed by most texts.

GEARING UP
The seeds of our material world were sewn here. In a century New England turned
from rural farms to machinery-driven factories. The Seacoast fell on hard times,
then revived under the thumb of its first "robber baron". |
