Review:
The Endicott Rock State Historic Site is a state park on Lake Winnipesaukee and is perhaps the oldest public monument in the New England region of the United States. On August 1st of 1652, the name of the Governor of Massachusetts Bay, John Endicott was inscribed on the rock, as well as the initials of Commissioners Simon Willard and Edward Johnson and Surveyors Jonathan Ince and John Sherman. In the past, the Endicott Rock marked what was assumed to be the Merrimack River’s headwaters and now serves as evidence of “one of the earliest incursions of Europeans” in the area.
