Virtual Workshop: Who’s Taking Care of Your Local History?
Wednesday, October 23, 2024, 7 to 8:30 p.m.
New Hampshire’s towns have always played a defining role in shaping the state’s character, and it is in our local communities that New Hampshire’s history has largely been written and lived. Yet these stories of our towns and their people are often in danger of being lost. Join Maggie Stier of the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance to learn about how different groups at the local level—like local historical societies and heritage and historic district commissions—work to save and preserve that history. This workshop is for anyone who wants to find out more about where they live—genealogists, local historical society members, homeowners, realtors, and newcomers to the state. The program is free, but advance registration is required, either through Humanitix or by calling 603-228-6688.
Virtual Workshop: Creating Dynamic Cemetery Tours
Wednesday, November 13, 2024, 7 to 9 p.m.
Few places evoke local history the way cemeteries do, and more and more people have taken to exploring them, hoping to discover the stories they contain. Learn about the many ways that local organizations can put together compelling, crowd-pleasing cemetery tours. Some tours will be spooky, some theatrical, some strictly historical, and some high-tech—find the type of tour that is right for your group and discover how to pull it together for an outstanding community event. The cost of this workshop is $15 for Society members; $25 for nonmembers. Advance registration is required, either through Humanitix or by calling 603-228-6688.
