Your bookkeeper in Litchfield

Litchfield has been called Naticook and Brenton's Farm, and it got its lasting name in 1749 from the Earl of Lichfield, whose title has no t in the middle. For most of its history it was farmland along the Merrimack River. Today it is a bedroom community with no central village and no large commercial district, only a few small industrial parks, convenience stores and small restaurants. So a Litchfield business is less likely to be a storefront. More often it is a trade, a service or a consultancy run from a house on a residential road. Those are simple businesses to keep books for, as long as someone actually keeps them. I can be that someone.

Route 3A follows the river the length of town under the name Charles Bancroft Highway, and the historical center is on it, with the first church and the old town hall. The present town hall is at Hillcrest Road and Albuquerque Avenue. Hillcrest Road is the way east to Londonderry. Going west is harder: Merrimack is right across the water, but there is no bridge, so the crossing is down between Hudson and Nashua or up between Manchester and Bedford. Parker Park still has an old trolley bridge. Atkinson is about 15 miles east, and I never ask anyone to make that trip.
