An artifact (Champion B stove, made by Somersworth Machine Company in Great Falls, NH) at an abandoned campsite in the Horne Brook drainage in Livermore, New Hampshire. This is possibly a camp of the Swift River Railroad; operated by the Conway Lumber Company, this was a logging railroad in operation from 1906-1916. At least four camps were in this general area, and there is some question if this was a logging camp. During the early 1900s, a Conway physician, Dr. B. Frank Horne, had a camp in the area, and there is a possibility that this is remnants of his camp. This stove is considered to be a protected artifact; the removal of historical artifacts from federal lands without a permit is a violation of federal law.
