Andover is a town in Merrimack County with a population of about 2,100. It includes the villages of Cilleyville, East Andover, and historic Potter Place. The latter takes its name from Richard Potter, a noted magician, ventriloquist, showman, and master of the Black Arts in the 19th century. Potter died here in 1835, and he is buried in a small plot beside the railroad station. The Potter Place Railroad Station, which was built years later in 1874 by the Northern Railroad, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, it serves as a museum for the Andover Historical Society, which also displays artifacts in the old village store across the street.

The Crowley Collection has galleries of other historical sites in New Hampshire, including Strawbery Banke, the Robert Frost Farm, the Saint Gaudens National Historic Site, the America's Stonehenge, and the Daniel Webster Birthplace, which is not far from Potter Place. We also have galleries of other historic sites in New England such as Old Sturbridge Village and Plimouth Plantation.
