9. Bringing
the Paul Wentworth House Home - This site tells the story
of the return of the Col. Paul Wentworth House (c. 1701) to its original
home. Originally built in Rollinsford, New Hampshire it was removed
from town in 1936 and rebuilt in Dover, Massachusetts and has been
missing from the town’s landscape for almost 70 years.
House owner, Ken Rendell, generously donated the house to the town
in 2002. During the months of September and October of 2002, historic
building specialist, Stephen Bedard, worked with his crew in Dover,
MA, to dismantle the Wentworth house and return it to its native soil
in Rollinsford. Steve was hired by the historical committee to take
the dwelling apart, piece by piece, and transport it back to NH, where
it remains in storage awaiting reconstruction on its original lot.

16. The Little Hat Company was born in June of 2006 out of the necessity for a practical yet beautiful hat to protect my baby's noggin. Growing up in a traditional “Yankee” family, it was always important to make sure that little ones were guarded from the sun and the cold. Since that first summer, The Little Hat Company has shipped to five continents and across the United States; opened a retail store selling hats, baby gear and toys; launched a website and appeared in numerous articles and magazines. All of our lids are proudly handcrafted in South Berwick, Maine by a group of amazing and talented women.
