FRANKLIN PIERCE HOMESTEAD

HILLSBOROUGH, NH

The Franklin Pierce Homestead is a historic site located in Hillsborough, New Hampshire. It was the childhood home of the 14th President of the United States, Franklin Pierce. The homestead was built in 1804 by Pierce's father, Benjamin Pierce, and is a classic example of Federal-style architecture.

The house is a two-story, wood-framed structure with a central chimney and symmetrically placed windows. It boasts seven rooms, including a parlor, dining room, and bedrooms, all of which have been restored to their original 19th-century appearance. The home also features authentic furniture and personal belongings of the Pierce family, including portraits, books, and clothing.

Franklin Pierce lived in the homestead until he left to attend Bowdoin College in Maine. The house was then passed down through several generations of the Pierce family until it was donated to the state of New Hampshire in 1968. Today, the Franklin Pierce Homestead is open to the public for tours and educational programs and serves as a fascinating glimpse into the early life of one of America's lesser-known presidents.
