The Barnstead Historical Society Celebrates Its 40th Anniversary

The June Meeting of the Barnstead Historical Society will be on June 28th, tomorrow night.

 

There will be our traditional ‘Pot Luck’ Supper at 6:00 pm. The meeting and program will follow at 7:00 pm. We will be looking back over the last 40 years. Photographs of Barnstead will be on display as well as other Historical Society memorabilia.

 

The first meeting of the Barnstead Historical Society was on June 29, 1972. Richard Golden was the first President and George Hartshorn, the Vice President. Helen Merrill was the Secretary and publicity agent and Dot Mulcahy was the Treasurer. Directors were John Locke, Herbert Holmes and Stuart Merrill. Other founding members were Eda St. John, Hazel Clark, Helen Gove, Ellen Grau, Carl Knirsch and Carolyn Johnson. Stuart Merrill is still an active member.

 

The Society’s past projects include: Restoration of the Jail or Lock up in the Center in 1989, co-sponsoring the repainting of the Town Hall curtain in 1982 and the wrought iron railing to protect it (shown in photograph above), contribution to the Harrison Thyng Memorial in Pittsfield in 2004 and restoration work on the Bandstand in the Center, including the plaque to honor John Jenkins.

 

The Barnstead Historical Society has two display places in the Oscar Foss Memorial Library in Center Barnstead. There is a glass case for small displays and there is a large, standing display with many pages of historical information about Barnstead’s past. We hope that you will take a look at both. The Society is planning for the future and looking forward to a time when we will have a meeting space and a museum/display space where the public may enjoy discovering Barnstead’s History through exhibits of historic items and other programs.

 

For more information call Jean Terry at 269-5441.
