Abandoned Settlements
These projects are part of a long term documentary project that focuses on the abandoned villages, granite quarries, lost mountain settlements, and forgotten 19th century hill farming communities that are scattered throughout the New Hampshire White Mountains. Many of these communities were abandoned in the early 1900s. And today the cellar holes, graveyards, and stone walls that remain in the forest help tell the story of a long forgotten era.

Notes:
• ScenicNH Photography is in the business of photography. We create awareness for historic preservation and environmental conservation.
• As you explore the historical sites in New Hampshire, keep in mind the removal of historic artifacts from federal lands is a violation of federal law.
• These historical sites are within the White Mountain National Forest; they cant’t be dug or disturbed, so metal detecting is out.
• This is a work in progress and is subject to errors and omissions.
