Bow, incorporated in 1727, is located just south of New Hampshire's capital, Concord.  Colonists who settled in the area were granted parcels of land from the king of England.  Most early settlers were farmers, and the town quickly became known for its agriculture.  In the 1800s, the power of the town's waterways was harnessed, and several mills opened.  Today Bow is a bedroom community with many active civic organizations. 

This book features many vintage photographs, including one taken in 1868 of the Baker farm, to show the history of this New Hampshire town.

The Images of America series celebrates the history of neighborhoods, towns, and cities across the country.  Using archival photographs, each title presents the distinctive stories from the past that shape the character of the community today.
