La Vielle Ferme

This Old Farm...a little primer about our home.  The oldest part of the home was built around 1840 by Alfred Putney.  Alfred came from Lowell, MA and sold print type.  A journal dated 1849 dropped out of the ceiling when we were gutting the structure.  It described the travels of Mr. Putney as he took printer's type-face far and wide, travelling by coach and train to places as far away as Mobile, Alabama and Plymouth, Indiana, incredible!  Mr. Putnay married Anne Hobart, who had Hebron roots (thus Hobart Hill, of which we live on).  At the time, two main roads traversed nearby, the Province Road, linking Portsmouth to Haverhill, NH, and the College Road, linking Durham to Hanover.  Evidence of the property as a working farm abounds.  It's interesting that most farms at that time were up in the hills, were the roads were.  It was easier to build roads above the streams versus building bridges over the low-lands.  Hebron remained a small town over the next 150 years, and still has it's small-town charm.  We consider ourselves very fortunate to steward an historic property with lots of hidden stories.  We look forward to adding to its rich lore and to sharing our home with family and friends.

A Plan

Plans are nothing...planning is everything. So said General Eisenhower. The planning thus far has been in our heads, now to commit them to writing and further thought.

This is what we have thus far for the Larochelle Family Reuinion 2010: the weekend of August 13-15 to be hosted in Hebron, NH by Jennifer and Roger Larochelle. We are hopeful that several family members will travel from Canada. The biggest challenge will be where everyone sleeps, and in what language (just kidding). There lots of room for camping on the lot, and there's 8 beds available inside. Tom will be bringing his camper, so there's a few more. Some friends in town thave made more beds available, and there are a couple of B&B's nearby. It would be great if we could all stay locally. Tentative plans, there's that word again, include golf on Friday, lots of various activities during the day Saturday (swimming, hiking, biking, sports, etc.) culminating with a pig roast dinner. Sunday will be breakfast and then we'll see what happens.

So, that's a start. We'll soon add some photos and fill out the agenda, and add some words in French, too. Roger and Jennifer
