“Our little quiet village today, is alive, there is a circus in town, and the railroad annual meeting meets here today, which brings people from all parts, some for amusement, some for Business, some to get money, and some to get rum, I have heard and saw more intoxicated today than I should want to see in a long life.”
It is clear, from her diary entry on September 8th, 1852, that Hannah Brown was not a lover of frivolity. As a small shareholder of the Boston and Maine railroad, she attended the annual meeting and not the circus. What is not clear, from her diary, is whether the drunkenness she so disapproved of was the result of circus goers or rail investors.
EXETER – When new customers visit family-owned Charlie’s Ice Cream, they will meet Doug Hanson and his children partnering with him in the venture, Lucas and Megan.
They will also meet the namesake of the homemade ice cream shop, Charlie, a friendly and excitable 3-year-old pug.
“Charlie been a total brat since he found out he was getting his own ice cream shop,” Doug Hanson said. “We were trying to think of a good name and Charlie was just sitting on the couch starring at us until we said, ‘How about Charlie’s?’ and he looked back at us, almost in approval like, ‘That sounds good to me.’”
Historically Speaking: Park Street Common in Exeter
By Barbara Rimkunas
Exeter’s early records include the following: “On March 30, 1682, it was enacted by general consent that the piece of land between Edward Sewall’s fence, Christian Dolloff’s fence or land, John Bean’s fence, Henry Magoon’s fence or land and the way that goes from Henry Magoon’s land to Pickpocket mill, which said piece of land now lying common, shall lie perpetually common for the use of the town, either for a common field or for what else shall be thought convenient for the town.”
Nancy Merrill would write, in 1972, that this was the first reference to a triangle of land later referenced as “lower plains,” “plains common,” and the current name “Park Street Common.” Since the 1680s, the flat open piece of land has been used for a variety of purposes.
