I spent 24 yrs in those hills, moved away. You post this info for scavengers to find. Understand when you go into the woods on Govt Land Like that you aren't supposed to take things out... In the summer time about July down along the water and around the foundations there are swarms of BEE HIVES and bears and Raspberries. Same up off Bear Notch Road. There are whole reserviors for those who have the patience to follow the water. Its the easiest way in and out of many nice places. I miss it. I wish I had given tours to all I had found while living there. I have given directions to a couple people to some very private places. Another fun thing is to CROSS COUNTRY SKI up frozen streams in the middle of winter. You go places you will never go in summer. Course, you must go when its 10 or 15 below zero, but its worth it. Ethan's Pond is a fun destination if you take the dry creek bed. Caution to going anywhere into the depth of the forest when there is rain in the forecast because walking down WET SLIPPERY SLOPES is kind of hazardous.
Nice info Mel, Thanks. We generally don't give out any info on locations unless they are already well known. We do love the area , there is so much to see and find in the mountains. 😀
Great video of the area, I had hiked that area about 7 years ago and couldn't find any evedence of railroad tracks. They have probably been covered over from many years of foliage. I have also hiked the Twin Mtn area of Little River looking for the old railroad, and have found very little clues. I've come to belive the railroad probably ripped them all out.
Hey Guys, thanks for sharing! I'll be going up to check it out this weekend with my buddy who lives in NH and then on to the EB&L RR logging camps! That is a great video! Keep up the good work Robbie
I remember checking this out about 15-20 years ago. I was wondering if the safe was still there! (Probably too heavy for someone to take out..). Thank you for all of the additional information and context.
Cool video, I used to spend a lot of time up that way fishing the Sawyer River and Sawyer Pond. You might find the ghost town on Sandwich Notch Road interesting. It's much older and harder to find but the old cellar holes are still there.
great video guys look forward to looking at some more I was up there in the 80's going through the history that was left behind I didn't know all the history about the town just knew that it was an old Sawmill town thank you for sharing your video
Thoroughly enjoyed your video. Spent summers just over the border in Denmark, Me and love that kind of stuff. Always sad to think of such once-vibrant towns now abandoned and reclaimed by Nature. Supposedly the first settlement of Denmark was abandoned due to some sort of epidemic and its remains are still out there in the woods somewhere. Never found it. Thanks.
Thank you for your comment! :) Glad you enjoyed the video. We just finished posting the Abandoned town of Dana, Ma due to the Quabbin Reservoir. 4 towns that no longer exist because Boston needed water. We're adding Demark to our to-do list. :) Link for Town of Dana... ua-cam.com/video/AcXw4atvFVI/v-deo.html
The Denmark first settlement may be more myth than fact. I could not find any historical record of it. Just stories some old timers told us when we were kids.
Crazy! I went here to swim in the river and had no clue I was in an abandoned ghost town! That’s crazy to me, but I’m going back this summer so I can’t wait to explore some of this when I come back
the metal box-thing at 9:30 was likely a smoker from what I could see. Given the time period, smoking meat for preservation would have been a big thing
thanks for a great video....really enjoyed it......I posted two videos that I made a long time ago 1964 and 1967.....my earliest memories were with my uncles and my father in the 1950s in the summertime when the Saunder's mansion was still standing and occupied by Mr Nash the lawyer and caretaker....he would come out and talk with us
WeRmudfun hi....there are two videos posted under my youtube account called , manyamile....they are, Livermore NH sawyer river road 1964 and Livermore nh sawyer river road 1977.....hope that helps you find them ....keep up the the good work!!!
Drove by here earlier today and was incredibly intrigued. Had no idea what I was looking at until I returned to my hotel and was able to look it up on the internet. 😳
i would have kept the golfball as a souvenir from the journey lol another great video by the way, are you guys making any more for this year i hope so i love new hampshire its a beautiful state
+Stan Wilson To clarify, we haven't yet followed the old railroad bed the whole way out of Livermore. We have found a couple of the old camps, but there are no signs of the railroad in the town of Livermore or the remains of Livermore, I should say. We'll probably explore the rest of the camps next year.
i've been trying to find about where along the road this is, but i'm coming up with very little info. anyone have gps coordinates or something like that?
We bushwhacked from the road and were able to locate them all. Some are pretty dense, but they are there. We had a hand drawn map that you see in the video that helps knowing which foundation was which.
I found this in 2016 when I was working for the forest service I could never remember where it was..They sent us to so many locations..but this place blew me away.
I live in Concord, NH and I had no idea about this. I plan on taking my girlfriend to this site and the old bomber site by Moosialake...or however you spell it!
A lot of people don't realize they drive right by it on their way to hike Mount Carrigain. I believe you want Mount Waternomee for the bomber crash site. :)
At about 2 minutes 15 seconds in you mention that you're on private property. But there's no actual residents there. Who owns the property but doesn't live there?
+Matthew Spencer-Kociol We said the piping was on private property, we were standing in the river and used the zoom to get that footage. The Old Saunders Mansion used to be there, but now a privately owned cottage sits on the property.

I was legit here yesterday

Wow that is so cool. I am a big fan of old almost forgotten towns. Thank you two for showing us this one.

Thanks for your comment and you are welcome. We found it very interesting too.
I remember checking this out about 15-20 years ago. I was wondering if the safe was still there! (Probably too heavy for someone to take out..). Thank you for all of the additional information and context.
You are welcome. We really enjoyed our visit there. 😃
8:48 looks like a chicken feeder or some other animal. The left side is bottom holding hay etc. the right side to keep the rain off.
Thanks Connie for the info, we appreciate your input! 😀
Cool video, I used to spend a lot of time up that way fishing the Sawyer River and Sawyer Pond. You might find the ghost town on Sandwich Notch Road interesting. It's much older and harder to find but the old cellar holes are still there.
9:55 That could be a meat dehydrating / smoking box. I saw the town safe when i was there. It’s close to the roaad.
Thanks for your input on what the box could be, appreciate your comment. The safe is really close to the street. 😀
great video guys look forward to looking at some more I was up there in the 80's going through the history that was left behind I didn't know all the history about the town just knew that it was an old Sawmill town thank you for sharing your video
+Ed Otoole Thanks for your comment Ed. Livermore is a great little ghost town with interesting history.
Wouldn't surprise me if people moved in after the town and logging ended, even temporary. Have fun exploring...

Ok, we won't put it high on the list then, may do a little research though.

It is a very cool place to explore. Enjoy your next visit. :)

+f1y7rap WOW Thanks for the info, we had no clue what that was for. :)
Awesome!
wow...very interesting...thanks for sharing!
+Hike with Mike Thanks Mike, glad you liked it. Do you ever get up this way to see any of these things?
thanks for a great video....really enjoyed it......I posted two videos that I made a long time ago 1964 and 1967.....my earliest memories were with my uncles and my father in the 1950s in the summertime when the Saunder's mansion was still standing and occupied by Mr Nash the lawyer and caretaker....he would come out and talk with us
Thanks for your comment.We looked for your two videos, but only saw the birthdays ones, which were entertaining. :) Are the other videos on UA-cam?
WeRmudfun hi....there are two videos posted under my youtube account called , manyamile....they are, Livermore NH sawyer river road 1964 and Livermore nh sawyer river road 1977.....hope that helps you find them ....keep up the the good work!!!
manyamile Thank you so much, we posted a comment on one of your videos.
Is this still here today would like to go look at it?
AS far as we know it is still there. 😀
Here in my old N.H. horse barn, in the stalls I keep getting kicked by something that isn`t there.
I got a machete because I'm always getting snagged by picker bushes.
Drove by here earlier today and was incredibly intrigued. Had no idea what I was looking at until I returned to my hotel and was able to look it up on the internet. 😳
It is a cool place to visit. 😃
Donahue is my mother's maiden name. Were from new Hampshire, I wonder if theres any relation!
The poison ivy 😬
I love living in New Hampshire
It is a great state! 😀
When you were up that night area did you happen the front in the old raval tracks and train wheels and side Rails?
No, we must have missed that.
Is this the sawyer river and is that swimming hole brandy went in easily accessible? Looks like a nice area! Great video
Thanks. Yes, that is Sawyer River and it was pretty easy to get too. There are several places you can swim at, just follow along the river.
i would have kept the golfball as a souvenir from the journey lol another great video by the way, are you guys making any more for this year i hope so i love new hampshire its a beautiful state
We have the videos as the souvenirs. LOL Most of the hikes we had already done happened in NH. It is a beautiful state and more videos will be coming.
sweet thanks and it is a beautiful state like vermont is i hope you can do more videos in vermont also
We'll be heading to Maine also.
nice i hope all goes well and be safe
what about the dam an trussel thats really cool
Was their any of the railroad left? I lived in Portmouth in 1973 though 77 I was stationed at Pease AFB.
+Stan Wilson We didn't see any real signs of the railroad itself while we were there.
Do you have a dog with you? 1:19 in lower left. Something bolts. Dog? Deer?
Yes that was our pup! 😀
Great video! I've tried to find this place and had no luck....how far down sawyer river road does one have to go till they start looking for it?
Follow the road up from RT 302 until you come to the only house on the left. The mill is right after it.
Thanks
+Stan Wilson To clarify, we haven't yet followed the old railroad bed the whole way out of Livermore. We have found a couple of the old camps, but there are no signs of the railroad in the town of Livermore or the remains of Livermore, I should say. We'll probably explore the rest of the camps next year.
Is the cottage sitting were the mansion used to be? I'm looking at Google Earth trying to figure out were this is, thank you.
As far as we have been able to determine, we believe it is.
Everything Is Awesome Baby it shares some of the same footprint. You can probably find a map of it if you Google it, I have seen one somewhere before.
i've been trying to find about where along the road this is, but i'm coming up with very little info. anyone have gps coordinates or something like that?
According to Wikipedia, the coordinates are: 44°04′28″N 71°22′38″W.
How did you pick up the trail to find the foundations?
We bushwhacked from the road and were able to locate them all. Some are pretty dense, but they are there. We had a hand drawn map that you see in the video that helps knowing which foundation was which.
I found this in 2016 when I was working for the forest service I could never remember where it was..They sent us to so many locations..but this place blew me away.
