Home: Matthew Thornton House NHL, 2 Thornton Street, Derry, NH

Visited: 6/12/2021

Log Excerpt: "Staying with the Thornton theme we moved southeast to Derry for the Matthew Thornton House NHL, the 1740 to 1779 New England saltbox home of the Signer. Since it was private, nothing but photos here, although there was a non-NHL plaque on a rock, and the NHL plaque further away over the front door."
