Hooksett

Robie's Country Store is a historic store at 8 Riverside Street in Hooksett, New Hampshire. It was built in 1907 and added to the National Register... of Historic Places in 2000. Robie's has been a political stop for presidential candidates since the early 1950s. Robie's was the oldest continuously operating business in Hooksett. The shop flourished at least in part due to its location: close to road, river, and rail traffic. The original building had a dock and received river barge merchandise until the railroad arrived in 1842. The building burned in 1857, was rebuilt, burned again in 1906, and was again rebuilt. George A. Robie bought the store in 1887, and over the next 110 years it was passed down from father to son. It provided Hooksett with staples and supplies and doubled as the town's post office.

It is bordered by Massachusetts to the south, Vermont to the west, Maine and the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Canadian province of Quebec to the north. New Hampshire is the 5th least extensive and the 9th least populous of the 50 United States. It became the first... post-colonial sovereign nation in the Americas when it broke off from Great Britain in January 1776, and six months later was one of the original thirteen states that founded the United States of America. In June 1788, it became the ninth state to ratify the United States Constitution, bringing that document into effect. New Hampshire was the first U.S. state to have its own state constitution. It is known internationally for the New Hampshire primary, the first primary in the U.S. presidential election cycle. Concord is the state capital, while Manchester is the largest city in the state. It has no general sales tax, nor is personal income taxed at either the state or local level.
