The Poore Farm Museum is a historic homestead / settlement documenting one family's life from the 1830's to the 1980s. The house, barns and outbuildings are all in original condition and reflect their use and era. The feeling one gets when you enter the homestead is to step back in time, to one that existed prior to rural electrification of the northern most regions of NH.
