John Lovewell / Hannah Duston Monument

The monument at the intersection of Allds and Fifield Streets in Nashua (formerly called Dunstable), NH reads:

 

"On this point of land dwelt John Lovewell, one of the earliest settlers of Dunstable at whose house Hannah Duston spent the night after her escape from the indians at Penacook Island March 30 1697."

 

A version of the story of the capture and escape can be found at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_Duston .
