Book Overview
Home to the world's largest bobsled--nicknamed the "Uncle Sam"--and the birthplace of scientists, artists, writers, and even a vice-president of the United States, Farmington has a history as fascinating as it is long. The efforts to create this amazing photographic history began when members of the Farmington Historical Society agreed upon a unique way to commemorate the 1998 bicentennial of the town's incorporation. By compiling this unparalleled collection of over 200 images--many never before published--they have achieved their goal of preserving the powerful past of this New Hampshire community. Beginning in the late 1700s as an agricultural village, young Farmington encompassed a dozen small businesses and had fifteen dwellings at its center. In subsequent years it became a pioneer town in the development of the shoe industry, with upwards of seventeen factories employing over 2,000 people during peak years.
