Signer's House and Matthew Thornton Cemetery

The Signer's House and Matthew Thornton Cemetery in Merrimack, New Hampshire, are significant historic sites linked to Matthew Thornton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. The Georgian-style house, built by Thornton's son, is the only surviving structure of its kind in the area and was owned by Thornton from 1780 to 1797. The adjacent cemetery, Merrimack's first, features gravestones dating back to 1742, including Thornton's own. The site, listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1978, now houses the Common Man restaurant, making it a unique blend of history and modern dining for visitors.
