This portrait of President Pierce can be seen hanging in an early image of the Homestead Parlour

Benjamin Pierce, father of President Pierce, was reknown as a hero in the American Revolution. He settled in Hillsborough building the Pierce Homestead as tavern and inn on the Second New Hampshire Turnpike.

This is a very early image of the Homestead, probably about as it appeared when built.

This image from the same time as the previous.

This 1910 image shows how the room was furnished at that time. Note the portrait of the President.

This is a more contemporary image - 1956.

This image of the fireplace area of the parlour is from 1920.

The Pierce Manse in Concord, NH. The President lived here during his Concord years. This 1965 image depicts the house when it was still located in downtown Concord.

A very major event in his campaign for the presidency was the ox roast that used this oven. A very large crowd attended the event, estimated by some as 25,000. This is quite possible because the railroad had recently come to Hillsborough.

This is the statute erected on the front lawn of the State House in Concord to honor President Pierce.
