Bookroo's summary
In 1632, John Tuttle arrived in New Hampshire with little more than an ax and hope. From these beginnings, the Tuttle family farm witnessed pivotal moments in American history. They fought in the Revolution, aided the Underground Railroad, and adapted through centuries. As the farm evolved into a bustling country store, it became a living testament to resilience and change. Discover the Tuttle legacy and the broader American story through their eyes. What secrets and stories does this enduring farm hold?
From the publisher
The story of Tuttle’s Red Barn is the story of America. John Tuttle arrived in Dover, New Hampshire, in 1632 with only his father’s ax and the two pewter candleholders his mother had given him after they’d hugged good-bye. But from that humble beginning he built the farm that, today, still stands on the same land. A fascinating look at America as seen through the eyes of one family. Tuttle’s Red Barn is a must read for anyone who appreciates the story of our country.
