In 1849 the County purchased 300 acres from Noyes Poor for $10,000.00. The property was to be used to house and care for the indigent, mentally ill and impoverished of Hillsborough County which at the time numbered 88. In 1867 the County Farm was sold and all residents moved to the Whiting Farm in Wilton until 1895. In 1895 the Goffstown Centre farm was sold back to the County and the entire operation was moved back to Grasmere. The farm now included facilities for the ill, paupers, the insane and the House of Corrections. In 1896 a cemetery was added to the property with each graved marked with a numbered marble tablet, the numbers correspond to records giving a description of the illness and death of the deceased. **Information taken from http://www.gotopinardville.com/grasmere.htm
