GILMANTON IRON WORKS — Join the Gilmanton Historical Society on Tuesday, Sept. 26, for a presentation on African American Soldiers & Sailors of the American Revolution. Prohibited from serving in revolutionary military units, how is it that these soldiers still came to fight for the cause of independence even when their own personal liberty was not guaranteed?Â
The program, at the Old Town Hall on Route 140 in Gilmanton Iron Works, begins promptly at 6:30 p.m. Social hour and refreshments begin at 6 p.m. All are welcome. There is no charge, but donations to support the society are welcome.
The final event of the society’s 2023 season is on Saturday, Oct. 7, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., rain or shine: Gilmanton Historic Buildings & Homestead Tour. Tickets will be available for pre-purchase at the Historical Society Museum in the Iron Works or through a link on the website gilmantonhistoricalsociety.org. A limited number of tickets will also be for sale at the Sept. 26 meeting.
