Franklin Pierce Homestead
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Franklin Pierce Homestead was the childhood home of the fourteenth President of the United States, Franklin Pierce. Located in Hillsborough, New Hampshire, Pierce's father, Benjamin Pierce, built the home in 1804. Franklin Pierce may have been born in the structure and with the exception a seven year span spent away for school and the studying of Law, lived there until 1834. The home remained in the Pierce family until 1925, when it was procured by the state of New Hampshire. Notables, such as Daniel Webster, have stayed there. Today, it is operated by the Hillsborough Historical Society and is a state park.
