Situated beside Great Bay (New Hampshire) Bay at the mouth of the Oyster River (New Hampshire) River, Durham was originally called Oyster River Plantation. Durham is a New England town in Strafford County, New Hampshire County, New Hampshire, United States. Designed in the Romanesque Revival style by the Concord, New Hampshire architectural firm of Dow & Randlett, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. Crops were destroyed and livestock killed, causing famine and destitution for survivors. A descendant of an early settler, Benjamin Thompson (farmer) Thompson bequeathed his assets and family estate, Warner Farm, to the state for the establishment of an agricultural college.
