Poor Houses and Town Farms: The Hard Row for Paupers

A New Hampshire Humanities to Go Program
The Sandwich Historical Society Presents:  Stephen Taylor
Please join the Sandwich Historical Society on Wednesday, May 22, 7:00 pm at the Doris L. Benz Community Center, 18 Heard Road,  for a fascinating evening with Steve Taylor, former New Hampshire Commissioner of Agriculture and renowned historian, as he talks about “Poor Farms and Town Farms: The Hard Row for Paupers”.
Sandwich had two Poor Farms during the 18th and 19th century; one on Beede Hill above the present day Transfer Station, and later, one on Wing Road near the Hannah Road intersection. In addition, Town records show individuals were also compensated by the Town for keeping ‘Tramps” and/or indigent residents or families. The last Town Poor Farm closed about 1880 when the State legislated that each county should have a “County Home” for all the county’s indigent residents, and the Carroll County Home was built in Ossipee. This program is presented in partnership with New Hampshire Humanities as part of the Humanities to Go program. New Hampshire Humanities is celebrating 50 years of ‘Connecting People and Ideas’.

A Look Back

Sandwich Historical Society Director Jim Mykland has pulled together some interesting entries from the Sandwich Reporter (1883-1944).  Grab your favorite beverage and enjoy! 
May 7, 1931:  J. Frank Atwood, James Rogers and Leroy White as Selectmen, Clarance Graves, Earle Peaslee and Ryvers Ainger as Road Agents were in attendance at the Good Roads meeting held in Plymouth last week.
~Through the courtesy of the Grammar school pupils under the direction of their teacher Miss Ladd, our shut ins and our sick were remembered with May baskets, fourteen homes were visited and cheered by the commendable act. In these days of rush for pleasure and amusement, the performance of such acts are neglected and we more appreciate Miss Ladd for her influence which extends outside the school doors.

Sandwich Children’s Center

The Sandwich Children's Center would kindly ask that you keep them in mind when you thin your daylilies and irises, realize that your Spiderweb Gardens purchase was a bit more than you can plant, or that the leftover bag of potting soil is never going to be used. Please consider donating them to our facility this spring. We are continuously working to keep the daycare center in tip top shiny condition and a little help from the community can really go a long way.
