Hannah Dustin was 1st American Women to have a statue erected in her honor. Although she was a resident of Haverill, MA, Hannah Dustin is often hailed as a New Hampshire hero since the site of her most infamous deed (the tomahawk inflicted deaths and scalpings of 10 Abenakis) is located in Penacook, NH. Her often overlooked monument on an island in the Merrimack River is well worth a photographic detour.
