At Gilmanton Historical Society

Captain William Badger was one of the men of Gilmanton active in the American Civil War. A program on NH men in the Civil War is offered by the Gilmanton Historical Society on Tuesday evening, September 25.

 

Gilmanton soldiers in the Civil War will be the topic of the Gilmanton Historical Society’s final program of the 2012 season on Tuesday, September 25, at the Old Town Hall in Gilmanton Iron Works.

 

Civil War historian Steven Closs of Merrimack, NH will present a program looking at the contributions New Hampshire made during the Civil War. He will focus on those men from Gilmanton who made the supreme sacrifice.

 

The Society’s Museum will open at 7 pm; social hour and refreshments begin at 7.  The program begins promptly at 7:30.   The program is free and open to the public. Donations are invited to support the work of the Society.

 

A special bonus:  If you missed the demonstration of turning flax into linen in August, Gena Gerhardt returns to the barn on Meeting House Road from 11 am to 3 pm on Saturday, September 22. Watch a demonstration of flax being made into linen using old-time methods, and tour the unique flax “retting” pond and stone structure, built for this purpose some 200 years ago. It is the only such structure known to exist in New Hampshire.  This event is sponsored jointly by the Historical Society and the Gilmanton Land Trust.

 

Later on the same day, from 2:30 to 7 pm September 22, there will be an event sponsored by the Gilmanton Land Trust at the Doug Towle property on Frisky Hill. This will be an opportunity to tour the Seventeenth Century home reconstructed on the site and enjoy the views of the Belknap Mountains and beyond. 

 

For more information check the Gilmanton Land Trust website: www.gilmantonlandtrust.com.

 

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, formerly in the Academy, is now at Old Town Hall in the space formerly occupied by the Police Department. It is open Saturdays from 10 am until noon, and at 7 pm before each of the summer programs.
