	Granite State Park.  This park is on the N.W. side of Willand's pond,
partly in Dover and partly in Somersworth.  It was laid out in 1876, on
land acquired from Mr. Frank Bickford and Mr. Howard Henderson.  A "Race
Course" here is mentioned on Chace's county map of 1856.  There is still a 
trotting ground, and agricultural fairs are held in the park.
