About Walpole, New Hampshire
Walpole is a town of 3,633 people in Cheshire County, on the Connecticut River across from Vermont. Massachusetts governor Jonathan Belcher granted it in 1736 as Number 3, the third of a chain of fort towns along the river, and early settlers knew it as Great Falls or Lunenburg. Colonel Benjamin Bellows built a large fort here to defend the settlement against Native attack.
When the boundary between Massachusetts and New Hampshire was settled, Number 3 landed on the New Hampshire side. Governor Benning Wentworth then granted the land a second time under the name Bellowstown, for the colonel who had founded it, and the town became incorporated in 1756. In 1761 that grant was renewed and the town was renamed Walpole, honoring Sir Robert Walpole, Great Britain's first Prime Minister.
“'Tis refreshing to yoke one's idealism with this team of tug-along-the-rut of realism, and so get practical wisdom out of it, and sanity.”
- First bridge over the ConnecticutIn 1785 Colonel Enoch Hale built the first bridge across the Connecticut River at Walpole, a covered wooden toll bridge that was an engineering feat for its time. The Vilas Bridge, a concrete arch with two spans built in 1930, now stands on its site and links North Walpole with Bellows Falls, Vermont.
- The Alcotts, 1855 to 1857The Alcotts moved here in the summer of 1855, when Abby May Alcott's brother-in-law Benjamin Willis let them live rent-free in his house. Louisa came first, and Bronson at first admired his hardworking neighbors. The family later split up and caught smallpox from one of the town's poorest families, whom Abby had been helping. In the fall of 1857 they left for Orchard House in Concord, Massachusetts. Walpole's lilacs later inspired Louisa's 1878 book Under the Lilacs.
- A senator's Federal mansionFrancis Gardner, a lawyer and legislator, had a large Federal house with a Palladian window built on Westminster Street about 1808. Stephen Rowe Bradley, three times a U.S. senator from Vermont, who helped bring Vermont into the Union as the fourteenth state, lived there from 1817 to 1830. His descendants still owned it when the Stephen Rowe Bradley House joined the National Register in 2005.
- Greek Revival on Main StreetPhilip Peck, a dry goods merchant, built the Peck-Porter House in 1839. Its front has a two-story portico with fluted Doric columns, and a spiral staircase rises inside. Peck lost the house in 1842, and the family of Dr. Winslow Porter held it from 1875 until 1963. Nearby, Walpole Academy, built in 1831, was a private school and then the town high school until 1950, and today the historical society keeps its museum there.
- A Stick style mansion in DrewsvilleBolivar and Sarah Lathrop Lovell built the Drewsville Mansion in 1880 at the south end of the village green, probably to plans by the Boston architect William P. Wentworth. Its jigsaw-cut trim and stickwork make it a rare example of the Stick and Eastlake style for the region.
