The Powers Stone recognizes the location of the first permanent homestead established by English settlers in Hollis, New Hampshire<\/a>. The homestead was owned by Captain Peter Powers, who lived there with his wife, Anna, and their family. Powers and his sons were involved in the French and Indian Wars, and their descendants later fought in the American Revolution.<\/p>\n

Although the stone now sits in Monument Square, the Powers\u2019 homestead was located on Proctor Hill Road, just west of Main Street. The stone was moved to the town common on December 11, 1990. In 2019, the Anna Keyes Powers Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution worked with the State of New Hampshire to install and dedicate a Historical Highway Marker at the actual location of the home site.<\/p>\n

The monument bears two brass plaques. The first, placed in 1909, notes the historical significance of Peter Powers and his progeny while the second acknowledges the relocation of the monument to its present site.<\/p>\n

Respectively, the inscriptions read:<\/p>\n
