The potteries at Boscawen were the most important north of Concord. The Boscawen industry branched out from Loudon. John Osborne had a shop on Main Street as early as 1816 and Jeremiah Burpee opened a store near the junction of Andover Road in 1804, where he operated until his death in 1864. The regular output of this pottery was jugs, jars, cream pots, and pans. - Credit Line:
