History of Coos County Farm:
On November 6, 1866, the County of Coös, New Hampshire purchased a river bottom farm in West Stewartstown for the purpose of starting an Alms House. In 1867, a three story addition to the original farm house was completed with the capacity to house 100 to 121 residents.
In 1932, the present brick masonry building was completed. This building served a dual purpose for many years. The first and second floors were used as a residential facility for the needy and the top floor provided facilities for a 35 bed general hospital.
