New Hampshire Covered Bridges At Gilmanton Historical Society

Covered Bridges in New Hampshire is the topic of Glenn Knoblock’s presentation to the Gilmanton Historical Society on Tuesday, June 28, 7:30 pm at the Academy (Town Offices) in Gilmanton Corner.


The Gilmanton Historical Society hosts Glenn Knoblock with an illustrated presentation on Covered Bridges of New Hampshire on Tuesday, June 28, 7:30 pm at the Academy (Town Office) in Gilmanton Corner.   The public is welcome and there is no charge.  Social time and refreshments start at 7 and the program begins promptly at 7:30.


Covered wood bridges have been a vital part of the New Hampshire transportation network, dating back to the early 1800s.  Often viewed as quaint relics of a simpler past, they were technological marvels of the day.   The program will discuss covered bridge design and technology, their designers and builders, and associated folklore.  Images of NH bridges, past and present, illustrates their transition from commonly used structures to historic icons.


The next program in the 2011 summer series, July 26, features Pat Clarke with a presentation on Gilmanton One Room Schools.   Former Agriculture Commissioner Steve Taylor returns on August 23rd to tell us about Cows and Communities.  The Society takes a field trip to the Wright Museum in Wolfeboro on Saturday, August 27th.  The final program, September 27th brings back Your Hit Parade.  


The Gilmanton Historical Society offers a number of publications on the history of the Town.  They are available at all Society programs, at the Town Clerk’s Office, and at the Brick House in Gilmanton Corners.  The Society’s Museum, in the Academy Building, is open by appointment.  Call curators Jeanine Moorhead 267-8870 or George Carpenter 267-8907.    For more information about the summer series, pick up a copy of the flier at the Academy or call President John Dickey at 267-6098.
