Join  The Celebration!

On December 17, 2007 the Board of Selectmen accepted a gift of 34 acres of land on Shellcamp Road presented to the town by Paul Stroud as a memorial to his wife, Ella. This beautiful parcel of land will forever protect Shellcamp Pond. In honor of Paul Stroud, and the Stroud family, the Gilmanton Conservation Commission is hosting a celebration on Saturday, August 30, at 2 p.m. The event will begin at the Buzzell Cemetery Parking Area on Shellcamp Road, where a new sign marking the conservation easement will be unveiled. We will then go to the Shellcamp Association Clubhouse on Lakeshore Drive for refreshments and the opportunity to meet Paul and his family, and to thank them personally. We very much hope that you will join us for this event.

Learning how to read blueprints and plans to determine work required and sequence of installations. Pipe bending and fittings, valve installations, working with glass, plastic, steel, brass and welding, in addition to installing and repairing plumbing fixtures, replacing washers in leaky faucets, fixing burst pipes and opening clogged drains.


Nationally, the average length of time it takes to find employment in these fields is a couple of weeks. The State average hourly wage for an apprentice is $9.50-$10.00 per hour. A Journeyman’s average wage is $20.00 per hour.
