I recently completed my latest historical manuscript - History of the Hop River State Park Trail. It covers the establishment of the ROW in the 1840s through its conversion to the trail we enjoy today. You can preview the entire book at - https://www.blurb.com/b/12959222-history-of-the-hop-river-state-park-trail
Below are a few sample pages from the book. If anyone would like a copy, I will have a few available at The Museum of Andover History, and certainly by contacting me. The book is 8x10, hardcover. Cost - $30.

A couple of recent ebay acquisitions - one note on "paper mill" stationary and one invoice for the center store. The F. L. Case Paper co. was located at the what is today the Town Garage. The E. A. Standish store was located across from the Old Fire House on Center Street where a new house is being constructed now.
