Washington

What are the towns?

Okay, folks, you ready? Ackworth, Langdon, Lemster, Goshen, Washington, Springfield, Sunapee, my hometown of Croydon, and the city of Claremont.

So it's a big district by New Hampshire rep standards.

And there's two seats in District 8.

There's these nuts everywhere.

And they'll email Newport, Claremont, Goshen, Washington, Plainfield, Cornish.

They'll email everybody and say, we would like a copy of every document that you've done about blah, blah, blah from yada, yada, yada, yada.

And then it is a waste of money because time is money.

We had Dr. Shizzle in here last hour.

There's a lot of town events that he can attend where Goshen, Lempster, Washington, Ackworth, and Langdon...

Not Langdon, excuse me.

No, Langdon.

Yeah, everything.

So, Newport is the town that Lempster and Goshen come to for grocery shopping and for stuff.

Washington heads to Hillsboro, generally.

Yep.

And a lot of them are three and four communities together.

Langdon, Goshen, Washington, Lempster.

Which is four,

then.

Rachel Oakes lived here in Washington, New Hampshire in 1844.

Her daughter, Delight, was a local school teacher.

This was almost 70 years after this town became the first to be named after George Washington.

Then, as now, Washington, New Hampshire was just a tiny little slice of the New England landscape.

But what happened here in Washington in 1844 went on to make a major impact in the entire world.

She attended this church, pastored by a man named Frederick Wheeler.

Wheeler had accepted the teachings of William Miller and was active in preaching the doctrine of the Second Advent.
