Please never stop doing these videos brother. I moved to Manchester last year from Ohio and haven’t really felt any connection yet. I’m originally from Providence RI, born and raised. I get weirded out when people call Manchester a “City” it’s not really a city, it’s more so a medium sized town. Providence on the other hand feels like a city and got the look to match it. But, these videos are helping me see that there’s more to this place than I thought. Keep doing your magic.
I like the historical pictures added to the video. Gerry is still running transfer station. I'm surprised he didn't see more walkers from the Fairgrounds to Lang station - that is a busy part of the trail for walkers.
I love both the New Boston and Goffstown Rail trails and hit them once a month unless it's below freezing. I usually skip the paved section in the middle. Downtown Goffstown has a few nice little restaurants too.
@@manchesterexplorer8519 - I wish there was a way. I park my car at different lots for each trail and drive between them not so much because it's boring for me but I don't trust drivers, so if I can skip a busy road I do. Thanks again for the history as you drive- that's why I watch your videos. That cemetery for the poor farm is always a sad place to pass.
In my mid -teens into my 20s I hunted and fished in New Boston. Nice to refresh my memory. Yes, Keep exploring surrounding towns. While I didn't live in Manchester I spent time there. Dated girls from there and shopped there. Like in Zayres. TH e BIG Mill building north side. Several floors. Tedd's Sport Shop on South Elm. I go way back. But come to Epsom next summer. I'd like to learn more about my town too. My backyard is part of the Blueberry Express Line. There's a story for you. Come check out the Blue Berry Express. Much of the line is still open for travel by bike I think.
@ericorff9994 New Boston is a special area , that's for sure . During the summer when everything is green it feels as if you're in a Lord of the Rings movie.
You were wondering how the various built up railbeds were constructed without heavy equipment. The railroad hauled dirt on flatcars loaded by steam shovels from cuts made further back. It was then, unloaded by a plow held with a chain at each end of it, which pushed the dirt off as the train moved forward. The line to New Boston was built to facilitate shipping farm produce to Manchester, but rail traffic was insufficient to support the line. so there was talk of perhaps continuing the line south to connect with the B&M Railroad at Fitchburg, MA, but funds failed to materialize, and the line ended uo under B&M ownership. This made the line to Fitchburg pointless as the B&M already had a connection there, The New Boston was abandoned in 1936 when the great flood of that year did irreparable damage.
Interesting thoughts about the dams. I hope you are right. Been pointing out the carnage on our rivers by the remaining hydro dams. 30 to 50 year old female eels headed out to sea to spawn. Chopped up by the thousands from my life views.

I appreciate the dedication you have towards presenting our area's cool little slice of history. Did they tear down the chicken coops and buildings in that area near the cemetery?
Ok this is weird because i also grew up on westside until the age of 14. Then i moved to New Boston btw you biked past my dads house which is 2 houses down from the spring on rt 13 lol. Went to Goffstown high school and moved back to Manch after graduating. Then moved back to New Boston in my 40s and now Florida. Anyways im just saying i dont know how we didnt cross paths basically because i also did barn dances and know locals from the area😆 small world like they say!! P.s. you know the house it always has a big box truck that says MB Maintenance on it😊

Very enjoyable. I watched the whole thing. Thanks!
I was born & raised in Goffstown 1967 till the late 80's early 90's Thanks for the nice trip back. 👍

@fretlessed25 Cool , I'm just curious as to how you skip the route 114 section . Is there a path behind the cemetery?.

I figured they hey had steam powered equipment , but it's still very impressive and very hard work.

Thanks, and yes one of the buildings was destroyed sometime last summer.

@@KristineS73 we may have crossed paths and yes it's a very small world.
Before clicking on this video, I didn't know whether to expect this to be about Boston, England to Manchester England.
@sstills951 That's a lot of shared names 👍
