Sunday, February 7, 2016: GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump will hold a campaign rally in Plymouth, NH at Plymouth State University at ALLWell North. The event is scheduled to begin at 1:00 PM EST.
Trump moves more inland today for an early rally, and again it's at a small venue.
Here's some interesting history.
This was the case in every New England state. The early settlers drove the Indians out physically during the Queen Anne's War. Plymouth was originally the site of an Abenaki village that was burned to the ground by Captain Thomas Baker in 1712.
In 1806, then-lawyer Daniel Webster lost his first criminal case at the Plymouth courthouse, which now houses the Historical Society. The author Nathaniel Hawthorne, while on vacation in 1864 with former U.S. President Franklin Pierce, died in Plymouth at the second Pemigewasset House, which was later destroyed by fire in 1909. In the early 20th century, the Draper and Maynard Sporting Goods Company (D&M) sold products directly to the Boston Red Sox, and players such as Babe Ruth would regularly visit to pick out their equipment.

I’m just a Keeper Of Odd Knowledge—in other words, a KOOK.
Trump will be on Fox & Friends in about 1/2 hour.
Thanks, Nikos. I added the new dates. I won’t be able to watch this one live but will be back later and look forward to the comments.
This university was originally named Plymouth Normal School . Why is jeb there?
Trump will be great again, as usual. Go Trump Go.
lol - pee wee herman, kiss my patoot.
Thanks for the heads up! Around 8:30 am.
If someone carries that live, then I will be dumbfounded.
I don’t recall ever, a candidate having every single speech carried live. It is so funny. And we all know why? The media wants to catch him saying something.
I didn’t feel good about Iowa, largely because I was watching the media right up until the voting. It was clear they were pushing the other candidates to make it close.
This time, I feel great. Rubio and the others can do their spin but I think Trump will win big.
This event may be the best pre-game show in the history of the Superbowl!
One of the most knowledgeable men in New England concerning the southern border will be there holding a sign. His name is Bob Casamiro.
If you have questions regarding the Texas, NM and/or Arizona border with Mexico, ask him he has been there numerous times and has tons of rancher contacts.
You’re welcome!
Trump is on Meet the Press (CBS), State of the Union (CNN), and This Week (ABC) this a.m. FWIW Clinton and Sanders are hitting the shows this a.m., too.

Live Free Or Die!
I have to admit that I feel a touch of envy for the Trump supporters who can attend these events live.
They can see history unfold before them.
TV is great but not like being there.
Enjoy the event, take pictures and have stories to tell friends and relatives when we get to the other side of the river.

I’m so sorry - not enough coffee. Meet the Press is NBC not CBS and he’s on now. If you missed it, they usually replay it on that and/or MSNBC later.
Here’s a little more info on the Bush/Eminent Domain saga:
