DANIEL WEBSTER TRAIL TO BE MAINTAINED

Among the projects for which the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests solicits assistance is the maintenance of the so-called Daniel Webster Trail. According to local tradition Daniel Webster first came to Hanover on foot over a trail from Springfield, N. H., which was formerly a highway but which is now abandoned. The trail passes through Springfield, extends into New London and is locally, known as the Daniel Webster Trail, being in a direct line between the Webster home and the College.

There is no direct documentary evidence as yet discovered, that Webster so used this trail but investigations are being made and any information that can be given on this point will be of particular interest to students of Webster and of Dartmouth College.
