Tour Gilmanton’s Beech Grove Cemetery with Gilmanton
Historical Society July 24
Tour Gilmanton’s historic Beech Grove Cemetery on
Tuesday, July 24th beginning at 6 pm with the Gilmanton
Historical Society.
On
July 24th, the Gilmanton Historical Society will lead a walking
tour of Beech Grove Cemetery. This beautiful, but little known,
cemetery in The Corners is the resting place of many of the
early residents of that part of Town. The tour will begin at
6:00pm and will be led by John Dickey, President of the Society.
Please wear good walking shoes as the ground is uneven and
walking will be required.
To
access the cemetery, use Greeley Farm Road (the first right off
of Route 140 when headed toward Gilmanton Iron Works from the
junction of Routes 107 and 140). Parking will be along Greeley
Farm Road. Someone will be there to show folks where to park and
how to find the walking path into the cemetery. For
information contact John Dickey, 267-6098 or e-mail
[email protected].
This is the third program in the Society’s 2018 summer series.
On August 28th John Dickey offers a program of Gilmanton post
cards. The final program, on September 25th, brings Steve
Blunt performing as John Hutchinson with Songs and Stories of
the Hutchinson Family Singers.
The
Society’s Museum in Old Town Hall is open every Saturday
morning, 10 am to noon, June, July and August.
The
programs are free and open to the public. Donations to
support the work of the Society are always welcome.
