Grover is a small hamlet out old Route 66–the first route–more commonly known as Manchester Road.
There are still a fair number of houses left, including these two very old and rustic cottages, as well as a couple of businesses.
Thankfully, when Highway 100 was rerouted, it spared the town and its nearby western neighbor of Pond.
Time has passed by this town, though there are plans for more development in the town.
You’re right about plans for more development. There has been quite a bit of development around this community since you last visited. That blue Craftsman house has been renovated and is now yellow and a large part of Manchester Rd has been aesthetically improved and is now walk-able. Might be worth a visit just to see what has been happening since you last visited.
