The Daniel Webster Birthplace State Historic Site is associated with the birth and early childhood years of Daniel Webster (1782–1852), one of America's most respected orators and statesmen. While the site affords a view of the early years of Daniel Webster, it also provides a glimpse of farm life in the infant years of the United States. Daniel Webster rose from rural poverty to graduate from Dartmouth College in 1801. Webster became a lawyer and renowned orator. He served as U.S. congressman from New Hampshire and Massachusetts; and secretary of state under presidents Harrison, Tyler, and Fillmore. In all, Daniel Webster spent forty years in public service, helping to form the loose collection of states into a unified nation.
The Daniel Webster Birthplace is managed by the New Hampshire Division of Parks and Recreation. It is located off Route 127 south of Franklin.
