Each member town was named with a huge stone monument similar to the one denoting Seabrook as shown here. The smaller rocks which outline the Meeting House Green Memorial Park came, for the most part, from the farms and homes of the original early settlers of “Old Hampton.” Each stone contains the date of the settling and the name of the family.
