Birch tree, pastures green
Bright fall trees, mountain valley streams
My sweet childhood home.
This autumn painting is from my memory of my childhood home on the dairy farm in Columbia, New Hampshire, USA. This view is across the road in front of our house next to our machine shop, visible on the left. Columbia is a rural township outside of Colebrook, NH, located in the heart of the Great North Woods Region.
This view is looking south with Mount Monadnock to the southwest visible on the right. Our abundance of sugar maples, birch, poplar, apple, oak, sumac, pine, fir, and spruce trees contribute to the amazing autumn colors. A stream and beaver dam is in the valley where we fished for an abundance of wild brook trout and catfish. We could see one of our neighboring farmers about 1.5 miles away across the valley.

Columbia, NH
The township was originally chartered in 1762 and named Preston, after Richard Graham, 1st Viscount Preston of Scotland. Settlers failed to meet the terms of the original grant, so the plantation was transferred in 1770 to grantees including Sir James Cockburn, 8th Baronet, after which it was named Cockburn Town, incorporated in 1797. In 1811, in the lead-up to the War of 1812, Governor John Langdon changed the name to Columbia.
Although the surface is uneven and mountainous, the soil was of good quality. Maple sugar became an important product, and lumber was cut and transported on rafts down the Connecticut River to markets. By 1859, when the population was 762, Columbia had four sawmills, three gristmills, two clapboard machines, and a starch mill.
In November, 2009 a history of Columbia was published. This book covers the period from 1770 to 2009. The book is available during normal business hours at the Town Office for a price of $37.95. Books can be mailed to you for an additional $8.00. If you are interested in purchasing a copy, please feel to call, e-mail or stop by the office.
