Steve Taylor Presents:
The Great Sheep Boom and It's Enduring Legacy on the NH Landscape
In a brief 30-year period in the early 19th century, the NH countryside became home to hundreds of thousands of sheep. Production of wool became a lucrative business, generating fortunes & providing the only era of true agriculture & rural prosperity in the state's history. It left behind a legacy of fine architecture & thousands of miles of rugged stonewalls. Farmers overcame enormous challenges to make sheep husbandry succeed, but forces from beyond NH were to doom the industry, with social consequences that would last a century.
