The Pemigewasset House stood in Plymouth, New Hampshire, a village that grew into a stop on the route north once the Boston, Concord and Montreal Rail-road reached it. This color lithograph, printed by J.H. Bufford of Boston, presents the hotel as a gateway to the Franconia and White Mountains, which were then drawing summer visitors from the cities. Hotels like this one were built to catch travelers stepping off the train, and the print works as an advertisement for that promise of easy access to mountain scenery. Its circa 1860 date places it in the years when rail travel was opening New England's interior to tourism.
