THE NEVENS STONE

Hollis, New Hampshire

The names of the 92 Minute-men who marched to Lexington, April 19, 1775 are
engraved upon the tablet on the face of this stone.
The stone now lies on the Hollis common, where the Minute-men had gathered that day. 

 
The inscription on the back of the stone reads; "The Nevens Brothers were at work on this stone, on their farm, April 19, 1775, and left it in this position at the Minute-men's alarm, to join their comrades upon this Common."
