New Hampshire recently put a historical marker in Peterborough to mark the gravesite of William Diamond, the Lexington drummer boy. He was perhaps the most famous of Revolutionary war soldiers to live in Peterborough.
Quoting from History of New Hampshire, "On the night of April 18, 1775, William Diamond, then nineteen years old, was ordered by John Hancock to guard the house in Lexington where he was staying. That night, after Paul Revere passed through on his horse trip to awaken every Middlesex village and farm and the word came that the British were approaching, Hancock instructed William Diamond to beat the reveille, and this long roll of the drum was the first overt act of the Revolution."
The cache is a magnetic micro, wheelchair accessible and winter friendly up to 2 feet of snow. It is placed a short distance from the historic marker. Tweezers would be very helpful. There is a beautiful stone wall; please do not disturb it, as the micro is not in the wall. Those who are interested in cemeteries may want to visit the cemetery just up the hill, the East Hill (Old) Cemetery, as it contains graves of many Revolutionary soldiers.
