Governor Wentworth Historic Site
Governor Wentworth Historic Site, State historic site in Wolfeboro, United States.
The Governor Wentworth Historic Site extends across 96 acres of protected land, featuring stone remnants of a former northern plantation estate.
Built by New Hampshire's second Royal Governor John Wentworth before the American Revolution, the original mansion burned completely to the ground in 1820.
Archaeological excavations at the site have revealed numerous artifacts that document the living standards of colonial governors in pre-revolutionary New Hampshire.
The park maintains year-round access for visitors, though staff and facilities remain limited during off-season periods, with no entrance fees collected.
The stone foundations stand as the last physical evidence of what was once the most substantial plantation estate in northern New England.
