The Sumner House is located in the historic district of Charlestown, NH, the longest National Register of Historic Places District in the state. The building itself is on the historic registry, being built in 1823. It was originally owned by Judge Frederick Augustus Sumner who held such positions as town clerk for 16 years, and postmaster delegate who opened the Democratic Presidential Convention in Baltimore in 1832. He also, after having six children with his wife, Abigail Stone, became a member of the committee to fix the bounds of and number the several
school districts in this area.
The Sumner House has transferred ownership several times during its existence, and is now a restored restaurant owned by Rod and Carol Clark of Charlestown. The vision of the restaurant is two-fold: to restore a pride in Charlestown, once a hub for the aristocratic and professional society, by informing those living here today of all the great people who came before us and accomplished great things; and to encourage community, not only within Charlestown, but also for the surrounding communities. We desire to create a place where all can come and feel a part of history today together.
The Sumner House also has put an emphasis on being environmentally friendly. The restaurant recycles whenever possible. In addition to using environmentally green products, in the spirit of forging community, there is also a clear emphasis on partnering with local community businesses to bring you the home-made fresh products we offer from our kitchen. In the spring, and summer months we plant a large garden on the south side of the building to bring you the freshest vegetables we can.
The Sumner house offers seated casual dining service, an amazing pub, as well as outdoor deck seating in the warmer months.
We also offer full catering services on, and off site.
We look forward to providing you with the best possible experience.
