Another History Ride
"HANOVER"
"HANOVER"
"The Hanover society - congregational - was organized in in 1797. Those who established it were from Puritan stock and took the name 'Hanover' from the Dutch state to which some of their ancestors had fled for religious freedom." Priest Ingersoll, 1903.
"Where is Hanover?"
Two hundred years ago there really was a place called "Hanover."
Two hundred years ago there really was a place called "Hanover."
There was a church and a school,
a post office, a little store and several homes located at Hanover Green.
This is the "green," now.
Nowadays, when someone refers to "Hanover," they mean an area somewhere north of Waterville - and just how large or exactly where that area is seems to be open to personal interpretation.
This is mine.
To me, "Hanover" covers a wonderfully vast expanse. It's all of the open farmland that lies on a plateau, higher than nearby spaces.
I drive through Hanover nearly every day.
It's where there are some of my favorite views - perhaps because they remind me of Kansas, where we lived for several years .....
..and where I've taken some of my favorite photographs.
Marshall Township Historian Dorothy McConnell published a book called "Memories of Hanover" a few years ago. I believe copies are available at the Town Hall in Deansboro.
I've just posted a much longer writing - the "History of the Hanover Society," written by Ada Marie Peck in 1901 - in my Google Documents on the internet. To read it, click HERE.

Jody Hildreth has been taking lots of pictures of a particular "view" at my house. For the last ten or fifteen years, pairs (or A pair) of Carolina Wrens have been building nests in either hanging plants right next to my back door, a maibox in which I store garden tools, or in window boxes at my kitchen window.
This year it's a window box. And it's twins!
