History of North America

How did people in colonial New Hampshire get to places close by?

People in colonial New Hampshire typically got to places close by on foot, on horseback, or by horse-drawn carriage.

In urban areas, some wealthier individuals may have owned wagons for travel, similar to those used for freight transportation.

During winter they also traveled by sleighs during snowy days. There would also occasionally be ferries available to make it easier when crossing lakes and rivers if bridges were unavailable or impractical in certain areas. Walking was the most common.
