The plain memorial overlooks the South Mill Pond at the base of Haven Park and is easily missed in a little triangle across from the parking lot there. The inscription reads: A Memorial to Gen. William Whipple (1730-1785) Signer of the Declaration of Independence, soldier, statesman, jurist. Given by Gov. Charles M. Dale. Sponsored by the NH Society Sons of the American Revolution. SEE ALSO ON THIS SITE: Whipple's home, the MOffatt Ladd House on Market Street, his tomb in North Cemetery, and Prince Whipple.
