In 1906, the Rockingham Park thoroughbred horse track in Salem, New Hampshire, opened it's doors to 10,000 fans who came by train from Boston, Rhode Island, and New York City. 1980 marked a sad event for Rockingham when a fire destroyed the grandstand and severely damaged the clubhouse. Through the new management, the Rock was opened yet again in 1984 with a state-of-the-art clubhouse. A turf course was installed in 1986 and after full-card interstate simulcast was allowed in 1991.
The park closed in 2016 and was torn down in 2017 to be redeveloped.
