BEER BOTTLE ON TOP OF CHURCH FROM HAMPTON NH
first baptist church
It's going to be a beautiful day for "Children's Day" at Seacoast Harley-Davidson so get there early!
The two pictures above are of the first Baptist Church in Hampton Falls. The reason I split it into two pictures is so you can see the top of the steeple. Whets That! A beer bottle? Well there are a couple different versions of the story of why it's up there but this is the one I like. Frank Jones use to be the big brewing company in Portsmouth and the story goes that the church approached him for money to finish the steeple. He agreed but insisted that there be a beer bottle placed at the very top. If you would like to see it for yourself just head down route one to Hampton Falls and the Church will be on the right side when you get to the lights.
Let's check today's weather:
Saturday, mostly sunny. Highs in the lower 80s. North winds 5 to 10 mph.
Saturday night, mostly clear. Lows in the mid 50s. South winds 5 to 10 mph, becoming west after midnight.
Sunday, mostly sunny in the morning, then becoming partly cloudy. highs in the lower 80s. South winds 5 to 10 mph.

Watch out for motorcycles and have a great day!

PRESCOTT PARK FROM HAMPTON NH

The gardens at Prescott Park are spectacular at this time and just get better right into September. Definitely worth the trip to Portsmouth. This is also the place for nightly entertainment. Situated on the banks of the Piscataqua River across from the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard it's the perfect place to relax. Strawberry Banke Museum is right across the street. You are in within walking distance of all of Portsmouths fine restaurants and Market square. Take a ride up there today because weekends can be quite busy.

Just a note Saturday is "Children's Day" at Seacoast Harley-Davidson in North Hampton. All kinds of fun for the kid's including a "Harry- Potter- look" a like contest, music, games and much more from 9-5. More on that tomorrow!

JAMES HOUSE HAMPTON NEW HAMPSHIRE
james house
Another hot and humid day is predicted for today. I drove by North Beach yesterday and you would think it was Labor Day weekend with the amount of traffic and people. Doesn't any one work anymore?
Anyway if you drive out Towle Farm road You will find the "James House" a restoration work in progress.
The James House is recognized as a true "first period" colonial. The house built for Benjamin James in 1723, near the salt meadows of Hampton, New Hampshire, is regarded as perhaps the earliest surviving example of the two-room deep, center-chimney colonial in New Hampshire. All of its original framing remains intact.
Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002, the James House presents an important opportunity to preserve the architectural and historic value of a rare first period house.
Have a great day exploring our area!
