MEREDITH — The Meredith Historical Society invites the public to its upcoming Open House on Tuesday, Sept. 6 from 5 to 7 p.m. (rain or shine). The event will take place at the museum located at 45 Main St. in Meredith Village. Karen Thorndike, Historical Society president noted, “This is a great opportunity for residents and visitors to drop by to see the renovated museum, check out the collection and to see our new exhibits.” Society directors will be available to address questions about town history that may be of interest.
Visitors will be treated to grilled hot dogs, beverages and Ben and Jerry’s ice cream while supplies last. The expanded retail shop will be also open for anyone looking for a unique gift. Local author and board member Rudy Van Veghten will be available to sign his recent publication "Clash of Cultures: The Story of the Penacooks, the Winnipesaukees, and Chiefs Passaconaway, Wonalancet and Kancamagus." Society genealogist Don MacFarlane will also be on hand to showcase over 6,000 family names of Meredith decent that he has been researching. Thorndike concluded, “Come on out to support the Society, support Main Street and learn something about our town.”
