Keene is the largest town in Cheshire County, located in the southwest corner of New Hampshire. Cheshire County is home to Mount Monadnock, one of the most climbed mountains in the world, which used to be frequented by Thoreau and Emerson. The Keene Public Library started scanning and uploading hundreds of historical photos and postcards of Keene and surrounding Cheshire County in its collection. When we ran out of our own photos, we started working on the thousands of photos at the Historical Society of Cheshire County. All of the scanning and enhancing of the photos has been done by our extraordinary volunteer, Bob Borden. Please feel free to add information or comments.

Innes House, Washington Street, Keene New Hampshire

    7/3/18. This house exists beautifully; well maintained and painted a pretty tan with white trim. It is only missing the turret and porch top fencing and the gingerbread work around the porch. Even the carriage house remains.

Small brick church (Winchester?)

  • Daniel Huntley said:
    This is certainly Winchester, NH. Not only are the church and war memorial still in place, but many of the houses in the background are still in existence.
