Is his antique shop in the old hardware store, beside where Fat Bob’s ice cream used to be? We went through Wentworth often when we vacationed in Rumney and went to Lake Tarleton for the day.

Thought of someplace else you might know of. My Uncle has an antique shop on the main road (Rt. 25??) in South Wentworth, right next to the cemetery.

I was just poking around one of the links that you emailed me. lol

That is too funny!! Nobody know where Rumney is! lol The big old Victorian that I was brought home to from the Plymouth hospital still stands and is now the Common Cafe. I spent many summers there when I was growing up and am very pleased with the way the house is being used now. I haven’t been to the Cafe but I do want to visit. From the pictures I have seen it looks marvelous. I have many ancestors from the surrounding area and my Dad grew up in the house from the time he was maybe 6 or 7. He’s 85 now. My Grandfather was town clerk for many years and one of my uncle’s name is on the WWII monument in the Common. Most of my Mom’s family still lives in the area, So as you can see I have deep roots in NH.

btw, how did you stumble across this little article I wrote so many years ago? I’ve never told folks about it, and no one was actually reading my little blog back then. 🙂

No WAY! Rumney, NH, is where my roots to New England all started! The cottage nestled under tall pines that I mentioned in this article, about our family’s move from suburbia to rural New England, is in Rumney NH!
