Although the company is long defunct, surviving examples of Temple glass are today rare and prized collectibles. By 1859, the town's population was 579, when Temple had two sawmills, one gristmill, and a tannery. Terrain is generally uneven and rocky. It is also elevated, commanding distant views to the east and south. As John Farmer and Jacob Bailey Moore wrote in 1823, "From the highest point of elevation, twenty meetinghouses may be seen when the atmosphere is clear."〔(John Farmer and Jacob Bailey Moore, editors; ''Collections, Topographical, Historical and Biographical, Relating Principally to New Hampshire''; Volumes 1-3; 1823 )〕 File:TempleNH CongregationalChurch.jpg|Congregational Church File:Cemetery in Temple, New Hampshire.jpg|Cemetery gate File:TempleNH BirchwoodInn.jpg|Birchwood Inn File:Pack Monadnock.jpg|View from Temple Mountain 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Temple, New Hampshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
