The county, right?

[FTL_Ian]

I think Free Staters will go where they want.  It seems that if you want more of a suburban-city style life, Keene is the answer.  If you're looking for the woods, go to Grafton.  Or so it seems.

You guys must be talking about the town of grafton. I spend a lot of time in the county but I've never been to the town

There isn't really a "town" per se. We have a fire dept./ambulance building, town hall building and a gas station/convenience store. So unless you know what you're looking for you may drive right through Grafton and not even notice you just drove through some kind of "town"...

Grafton's messy liberation
By B.J. Roche  |  June 20, 2004



from All Things Considered, Monday , June 21, 2004
A libertarian group planning to move to tiny Grafton, N.H., got a hostile reception from the locals this weekend. The Free Town Project hopes to get 200 members to move to Grafton, where they'd vote to privatize roads, eliminate funding for public education, and legalize so-called "victimless" crimes. New Hampshire Public Radio's Raquel Maria Dillon reports.

I never noticed any of those buildings but I did notice the mountain in town with a mine tourist attraction on it, a town dump that was not monitored, and a post office with a very friendly lady.

It's not a dump, it is a transfer station, and it is monitored, and only open two days a week.
the fire dept and town offices are right next to the post office...not sure how you could have missed it.

There is also a museum and a library.

Someone moved one too many rocks.

Should I redirect mikelorrey.com to lorrey.biz, or should I make a mikelorrey.com website?
