Poor Farm burial

Faculty and students from UNH’s F.A.I.R. Lab reflect during a eulogy given by Albert Edward Belanger, Brentwood cemetery trustee, at the reburial of skeletal remains from the mid-1800’s. The UNH team worked for two years with town officials and the New Hampshire state archaeologist to investigate and document the remains identified as being from the Brentwood Poor Farm which existed from 1841 to 1868.
