Franklin Pierce Doorsteps and House (vacant lot) where he died, Concord, NH

While in Concord, NH, I visited the former home of President Franklin Pierce, well actually his doorsteps and a vacant house that previously was where his house stood until 1975. He live in concord on this spot from 1855 until his death in 1869. The door steps are where Pierce stood warding off an angry mob protesting that Pierce was not flying the American Flag in memoriam to Abraham Lincoln assassination. Pierce stated that “his long history of service to the nation should speak for his patriotism louder than any flag”. The mob, convinced of his loyalty left him alone.
