Wolfeboro has it's poor farm. It was located on Poor Farm Hill which is off North Main Street a little less than two miles from town. The building is not there but it is still named Poor Farm Hill. TH\here is a private home there now. I have never seen a picture and would love to see one. As a young girl my Mother used to cross country ski all around there. There was some kind of a trail. (Not sure if it was called cc skiing then.)

What an interesting subject AW!

The poor farm in Alton doesn't look like it held many people, does it?
