This is as far as we know, the first cache on the town green. Flat,
easy, terrain. Depending on when you go it may be quite
muggle-ridden! Bring your own pen or pencil.
Congrats to The (Mr.) Hampstead Beagle on the FTF! That's
two in two days for THB! Cheers!
TOWN OF PLAISTOW Incorporated: 1749 Origin: This territory was part
of the 1642 land purchase that was Haverhill, Massachusetts. When
the New Hampshire- Massachusetts boundary was established in 1741,
the portion north of the border became the Haverhill District. The
town was incorporated as Plastow in 1749, and included Atkinson,
which was separated in 1767. The spelling was changed later. The
name may have come from the English "plaistowe," meaning "an open
space or greenwood, near the center of a village where the maypole
stood and where sports at holiday times were carried on." Villages
