LONDONDERRY, NH — The State Historical Resources Council has added six new historic properties, including one in Londonderry, to the New Hampshire State Register of Historic Places. Londonderry's Morrison House is one of the oldest capes in town, according to the New Hampshire Department of Natural & Cultural Resources. It was built in 1760. It was moved about three decades ago so the land it was originally built on could be developed for commercial uses. The Morrison family built the home after moving to the area in 1719, when the town was known as Nutfield. The family owned the property until 1924, according to officials. Five other properties were recently added to the list by the New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources: Andover's town hall; the Albert Ball House in Claremont; Association Hall in Derry; the Hillsborough Center Cemetery; and the Keene Unitarian Universalist Church. Anyone interested in nominating a property to the New Hampshire State Register of Historic Places must research the history of the property and document it on an individual inventory form from the New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources. Having a property listed in the register does not impose restrictions on property owners, the state said. For more information, visit nh.gov/nhdhr. Got a news tip? Send it to [email protected].
