Did 269 miles today- lots of hits and misses-
Started at Franklin Pierce Homestead in Hillsborough, but it was closed! Open Fri-Sun!
Then up to Sunapee State Park to find a pin, but they didn't have any. Then a bust trying to find John Jay NWR for a blue goose stamp.
Did see these 2 markers:
Pierce Homestead
1. Pierce Homestead Marker
Inscription.
The Pierce Homestead was built in 1804 by Benjamin Pierce, a general in the American Revolution, twice governor of New Hampshire (1827-28, 1829-30), and father of Franklin Pierce, the 14th President of the United States (1853-57). Franklin Pierce was born in Hillsboro November 23, 1804 and the family occupied this dwelling shortly thereafter.

Birthplace of the Seventh Day
Adventist Church
Inscription. In April 1842, a group of citizens in this town banded together
to form "the first Christian Society." In the Adventist movement of
1842-43, they espoused the Advent hope. In January 1842, these Washington
Sabbath keepers, after meeting for many years as a loosely knit group,
organized the first Seventh Day Adventist Church. Take second left, opposite
the Common, 2.3 miles on the Millen Pond Road to the site of this building.
Did find 7 new markers today in Newbury and New London NH.
Did also stop at Colby-Sawyer Univ, but no pin.
Did see some NRHP sites:
Got back home by 130 in the afternoon, very tired just now. May dial back tomorrow.
Supposed to have the refrigerator looked at tomorrow.
