WOLFEBORO — The Lakes Region Genealogy Interest Group and the Wolfeboro Public Library are co-sponsoring a Celebration of Historical Societies on Saturday, June 22, from 10 a.m. to noon in the Library’s Bradley Room. The event is free and open to all.

Local historical societies play a vital role, especially in rural communities. They can be a valuable resource for individuals interested in researching their family histories and learning more about their communities. Knowing, recording, and preserving family histories directly impacts families today and future generations.

This celebration is an opportunity for people to become more aware of the resources available to them through their local historical societies. They can meet with volunteers and board members from a number of societies and pick up information and local history books that will be offered for sale. It will also be a great opportunity for members of historical societies to network with other volunteers from neighboring towns.
