Guided Historic Walking Tours of Dove...Description
Settled in 1623, Dover is the oldest continuous settlement in New Hampshire and seventh oldest in the United States.

You will also visit the Cochecho, Bellamy and Piscataqua Rivers that gave Dover its economic advantage, from ship building, to farming, to leading the way in cotton manufactured goods from the 1820s to 1880s. Along the way you will notice the ten different types of architecture used through the City dating back to the late 1700s.
