 Mapping New Hampshire Through Three Centuries
Mapping New Hampshire Through Three Centuries, an exhibition showcasing the New Hampshire Historical Society's outstanding collection of historic New Hampshire and New England maps, was on view at the Society's Tuck Library at 30 Park Street in Concord November 7, 2002, through August 2, 2003. Thanks to Our Sponsors Mapping New Hampshire Through Three Centuries was sponsored by Hansen-Fox Company. About the Exhibition The exhibition featured sections dedicated to family history, town planning and development, border disputes, the tourism industry, and the railroad industry, each with suggestions for how to use maps to study these topics. Mapping New Hampshire Through Three Centuries included town maps from the 18th and 19th centuries, railroad and tourism maps from the 19th and early 20th centuries, including very early White Mountain maps, and maps documenting the famous Indian Stream Republic. An Opportunity to Learn More In conjunction with the exhibition, the Society published a special issue of its journal Historical New Hampshire. The issue explores some of the challenges of measuring and mapping New Hampshire, from its rugged coastline to its mountain tops. This special issue is sponsored by Gallagher, Callahan, and Gartrell.
