Drewsville Cemetery. Most of the grave markers are from the early to mid nineteenth century.
Thomas Collins Drew (1762-1843), an American Revolutionary War Veteran, and later colonel of the Twentieth Regiment of the New Hampshire militia, bought the land that would become the village of Drewsville in 1810. The power of the Cold River and Blanchard Brook allowed the hamlet to become a center of cotton and wool manufacturing through the mid 1800’s.
Colonel Drew is buried in the cemetery. His grave marker is the second one to the left of the large honey locust tree on the right.

Racing tracks on the Old Cheshire Turnpike. Teenagers like to joy ride their cars here with bravado after sunset. This time the driver managed to avoid the edge of a wood and escape disaster. American youth can drive a car in the State of New Hampshire at the age of sixteen. I know at least four boys who crashed their cars soon after earning their license. One walked away unscathed, one was wounded and totaled his car, one was severely wounded but lived to tell the tale, and one had to bury his friend who was a passenger in his car.

In 2010 I came to live in the hamlet of Drewsville, New Hampshire, USA, to finish my photo book The Other Farm, and stayed. This is my ongoing exploration of my personal connection to this specific place, the small town communities in the southern rural part of the state, and in neighboring Vermont, on both sides of the Connecticut River.
