Markers for cemeteries, meeting houses, mills, and civil rights activists can all be found in the Monadnock Region.
The state marker in Temple is for the Temple Glass Factory which was founded in 1780 and was the beginning of glass-making in New Hampshire. Right next to that sign is one erected by the Temple, NH Historical Society for the Village Cemetery. Most of the first settlers in
Temple were buried here with the first burial recorded in 1772. We particularly liked the sign at the entrance which reads
“In Honor of the Wives and Mothers of 1776”.
