Hi Laura,

That will be a great research project. I wish I had some helpful information for you, but I don’t.

Good luck with your research.

Really cool. I wonder if these are my descendants, my Sawyer side of the family from Maine. I was born in New Hampshire… I know there were a lot of sawyers but there seems to be a lot of coincidences.. I'm going to have to look more into this! My grandmother was minieta Leighton, married Sawyer.

In reply to Rae Cameron.

Hi Rae,

If you are ever traveling in the White Mountains, NH you can see remnants of the Livermore village by driving up the Sawyer River Road in Hart’s Location. The old Livermore Mill site is still visible, foundations and various other artifacts can be found dating back to the Livermore and Sawyer River Logging Railroad era.

Have a great day!

I love reading historical fiction and I am in the process of reading “The Lost Constitution” by William Martin. It is a work of fiction with a story line that includes Livermore, New Hampshire. I was born in Rhode Island and moved to Nashua, New Hampshire in 1984 and had never heard of Livermore. I am now retired and live in Florida. Thanks to the internet I can research. In looking for Livermore, I had no idea that it no longer existed as a community. Thank you for posting such wonderful photos.
