Crawford family of the White Mountains information


Section of Geo. T. Crawford's map of the White Mountains of New Hampshire, ca. 1896, showing Hart's Location and Nash and Sawyer's Location
The Notch of the White Mountains (Crawford Notch) by Thomas Cole (1839, oil on canvas). The building is "the Crawford house"[1]

The Crawford family of the White Mountains were a family who moved to New Hampshire's White Mountains in the 1790s from Guildhall, Vermont, and were pioneers in establishing a tourist industry in that area. Abel Crawford and his father-in-law, Eleazar Rosebrook, began the effort, and one of Abel's sons, Ethan Allen Crawford, made significant contributions. Another son, Thomas Jefferson Crawford, continued the work; and Ethan's wife, Lucy, also contributed. Their work was in the area then known as White Mountain Notch, subsequently called Crawford Notch.

Numerous geographical features in the White Mountains are now named after the family.
