ABOUT

Poore Farm Historic Homestead and Museum

The Poore Farm Historic Homestead and Museum is a historic homestead and settlement that portrays the life of one family life from the 1830s to the 1980s. The house, barns and out-buildings are all in authentic condition and reflect their original use and era. Visitors of the homestead experience a feeling of stepping back into time, prior to rural electrification of the northern most regions of NH. The Museum is the last remaining original 100-acre historic farm settlement of its kind in the North Country and arguably the most important historic landmark in New Hampshire.
