Open House at Meredith Historical Society

MEREDITH — Visit Meredith Historical Society on Tuesday, Sept. 7 and arrive with an appetite. Board Member, John Edgar, will be expertly grilling free hot dogs outside the building and serving ice cream donated by Ben & Jerry’s. Buy a raffle ticket for a basket of assorted items; the winning ticket will be drawn that evening. Tour the museum, including the “must see” timeline which showcases Meredith’s progression from a British land grant, to mill town, to today’s vibrant community. Board members will be on hand to answer questions and explain unique focal points.

Renovation of the museum included upgrades to flooring and lighting as well as refreshing of the exhibits. John Hopper, board member who spearheaded the project says, “this has been a labor of love actively undertaken by the entire board of directors and volunteers to portray the progression of our town and the characters instrumental in in its transformations.”

Meredith Historical Society is located at 45 Main Street and is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday until mid-October. The Speakers Series takes place on the first Tuesday of each month at the Community Center with free admission.
