I find your theory on the location of Tinkhamtown very fascinating and probably correct. But in listening to the video he mentions, while looking at the old map that he had drawn years earlier, that he is between
Kearsarge and Cardigan Mountain. He must have been referring to Mt. Kearsarge and not the unincorporated town near Conway, NH, as that is a great distance away. Mt. Kearsarge and Cardigan Mountain are about 25 miles apart as the crow flies, and about halfway in between lies the rural town of Danbury. Intererestingly enough, along Route 4 and the Smith River in Danbury you can find an area on the old topographical maps that is labeled “Fords Crossing”. I wonder if there might be a connection?

Stephen - that's an interesting theory as well that I've heard mentioned before. Southeast of Mt. Cardigan, a bit less than 5 miles as the crow flies, is a small mountain called Tinkham Hill. It certainly could be the place!

This is getting better and better.

It is very interesting. Do any of these places still exist? IE are they still woods and not subdivisions? I hope so

Steve and Patty could take a drive over there someday soon and let us know. What's it Steve, twenty or thirty minutes from your house?

I just shot an email to "Doc Hall" asking him if Corey ever divulged to him where the fabled town of Tinkhamtown was located. I hope Doc is still with us - he was getting along and was getting physically feeble the last time we communicated.

About that Dean, and a route I drive pretty often. It is still a very rural beautiful area with cover along Route 4 that look like it could be good grouse/woodcock cover. And Mills, there is not a subdivision anywhere near that area!! I am going to plan on scoping it out with Star as soon as the weather cools. This is going to be fun:)

Need a partner?

Absolutely, I will give you a call:)

we expect a Parker Pages story out of this
