The 'Franklin Pierce Homestead' was the childhood home of the fourteenth President of the United States, Franklin Pierce. Located in Hillsborough, New Hampshire, the home was built in 1804 by Pierce's father, Benjamin Pierce. Franklin Pierce was born in the structure and lived there until 1834, with the exception of a seven year span spent away for school and the studying of Law. The home remained in the Pierce family until 1925, when it was procured by the state of New Hampshire. Notables such as Daniel Webster have stayed there. Today, is operated by the Hillsborough Historical Society and is a state park.
