New Hampshire Land and Community Heritage Investment Program Annual Report New Hampshire Land and Community Heritage Investment Program Annual Report Harriman Farm, Durham (Photo: Jerry Monkman-Ecophotography) Fiscal Year 2018 LCHIP December 2018 Dear Governor Sununu, Senate President Soucy, Speaker of the House Shurtleff, members of the Executive Council and State Librarian York, We are pleased to submit this Land and Community Heritage Investment Program Annual Report, as required by RSA 227-M:5. We are proud of the success LCHIP exhibits in carrying out its legislatively mandated mission to provide matching grants that help New Hampshire communities and non-profits protect and preserve New Hampshire’s special places. Now in its eighteenth year, LCHIP remains a highly popular and significant source of funding for conserving and protecting New Hampshire’s natural, cultural and historical resources. In FY ’18, LCHIP support was sought for forty-eight projects requesting $5.1 million. LCHIP’s comprehensive selection process led to forty-two projects being awarded grants for a total of $3.6 million. That $3.6 million in state investment will be matched by $11 million in funds from other sources. The LCHIP Board of Directors and staff value the opportunity to learn about and help protect our state’s most important natural, cultural and historic resources and are grateful to the political leaders like yourselves whose support makes LCHIP’s work possible. Sincerely, Amanda Merrill Dijit Taylor Chair of Board of Directors Executive Director Elected officials celebrate at the FY 18 LCHIP Grant Awards Announcement Photo credit: Perry Smith LCHIP’s Achievements 2000-2018 LCHIP’s eighteen years of success can be seen in communities all around the state, from Pittsburg in the north to Nashua and other southern tier towns and from Star Island in the east to a long list of Connecticut River valley towns in the west. The program’s legislated goal is important: To conserve and preserve the state’s most important natural, cultural, and historic resources through public-private partnerships so that they can continue to contribute to the state’s economy, environment, and overall quality of life. LCHIP’s success at achieving those goals can be measured in part by the number of grants given and projects accomplished. As of the close of FY 18, LCHIP had awarded 425 grants that have benefited 157 of the state’s 234 municipalities. More than two-hundred-eighty-three acres of good New Hampshire land have been protected forever to be used for forestry, farming, recreation, water quality, and habitat and ecosystem services. LCHIP has helped to insure a safer future for historic buildings covering a full range of New Hampshire history from the oldest building (1664 Jackson House) to one that just barely squeaks into the 50-year old definition of historic (1967 Women’s Memorial Bell Tower). The LCHIP website, www.lchip.org, provides more information about many of the LCHIP projects. The Richard Jackson House, Portsmouth, is thought to be the oldest extant frame structure in New Hampshire.

Rather, grant recipients are allowed up to twenty-four months from the date of the grant award to finish raising the matching money and complete the projects to LCHIP’s high standards. Occasionally, extensions may be granted if warranted by project conditions. Thus, it is typical for projects from several different previous years to close in any year.

  • Digging a Family's Life
    Vol. 14 No. 1. Issue 28 HCR 77, Box 8350, Chadbourne's Ridge, North Waterborough, Maine 04061 Winter 1996 ISSN 0741-0360 DIGGING A FAMILY'S LIFE The most exciting occurrence for members of The CFA is the new archaeological dig being conducted on the Humphrey Chadbourne homestead in South Berwick. In case any of you have missed the story, the site of the homestead was found by accident by Tad Baker and Brad Fletcher the summer of 1995, in an open field in South Berwick. Upon tentative investigation, they found it to be the site of the first home of Humphrey2 Chadbourne, built in the middle of the 17th century. Having burned in place after being in existence for perhaps 40 years it is proving to be an excellent source of information about life on the Maine frontier in the 1600s. It is not only well preserved, but is, perhaps, one of the largest and wealthiest homesteads available for study. This has all been verified by Tad and Brad and their studies of deeds and wills and certainly is verified by what we were able to record in our book about this family. It gives us the added Key and scissors from the Chadbourne dig information that maybe an Indian raid was the cause of the burning of the house, almost a mansion. The family play have blade or a chain used in the lumbering industry, it may take retired to Sturgeon Creek to take safety in the home of son James $400.00 to preserve such pieces. That is why they have to go or maybe moved in with neighbors or relatives for some time.

  • Report on the Dennett House Traditionally Called “The Beehive” 73 Prospect Street Portsmouth, New Hampshire November 26, 2017
    REPORT ON THE DENNETT HOUSE TRADITIONALLY CALLED “THE BEEHIVE” 73 PROSPECT STREET PORTSMOUTH, NEW HAMPSHIRE NOVEMBER 26, 2017 ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY HISTORIC PRESERVATION JAMES L. GARVIN FARRINGTON HOUSE 30 South Main Street · Building 1, Suite 201 · Concord, New Hampshire, 03301 [email protected] [email protected] http://www.james-garvin.com Dennett “Beehive”, South (Front) and East (Side) Elevations Courtesy of the Portsmouth Athenaeum, Portsmouth, N.H., with permission of the author. 1 Summary: This report is based on an inspection of the Dennett House, traditionally called “the Beehive,” on November 13, 2017. The purpose of the inspection was to observe and identify the character- defining features of the dwelling. Of special interest were the longstanding beliefs that the house dates from 1680 (or other attributed dates in the late seventeenth century), that it is one of the two oldest surviving buildings on Christian Shore and therefore one of the oldest buildings in Portsmouth, and that its walls are constructed of “solid square timbers.” The latter assertion would suggest that the building began its existence as a log-walled structure of a type first documented in Portsmouth in a meeting house built near the South Mill Dam in 1659. The inspection of November 13th was made possible through the courtesy of Mr. Glenn Walker of Ten Walker Street Realty, LLC, owners of the property. Inspection of the house revealed that the existing structure dates from the first half of the eighteenth century, and that it was a large dwelling for its period. It has a frame of a type that is now represented by few surviving examples but that seems to have been a standard type for large, two-room-deep central-chimney dwellings from the late seventeenth century until the 1720s, and perhaps later.
