Epsom Historical Association And Library


Have you been to the newly renovated Epsom Historical Association museum & library? A dedicated group of volunteers have worked hard to renovate the OLD Epsom Public Library building on Rte 4. The Epsom Historical Association has an amazing collection of photos and pieces of Epsom History now housed in the old library, now known as the Epsom Public Library and Historical Center. Historical Association members are volunteering to open the center on Wednesday evenings through the summer from 7-9 p.m. Please consider stopping by to see the beautiful work done to restore this building to its original beauty and also see some of the many items in the Association’s collection. For further information, please check out the extensive website for the Epsom Historical Association. www.epsomhistory.com Remember EVERYONE can become a member of the Historical Association for only $10 and your dues help to continue the wonderful work members are doing as well as assist in the maintenance of the old library building. Hope you enjoy your visit to Epsom’s own little museum!

 


 

Volunteers Needed!


Attention Epsom residents, history buffs, tradesmen, and cheapskates! Epsom is in need of volunteers to help make our historic meetinghouse functional. Even though Epsom voters decided not to spend as much as a dollar of taxpayers’ money on the building, the need remains to donate and volunteer. Without spending any town money to date, we have rescued the building, re-sited it on a new foundation, restored the exterior from top to bottom and installed heat.


We are in the home stretch! The tasks that remain to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy are septic system design and construction, water hookup to the structure, carpentry (building stairs and doorways), plumbing (bathroom installation), and electrical work. The final touches are interior cosmetics and landscaping.


If you are a painter, carpenter, plumber, dirt contractor, dry-wall hanger, or electrician, and are interested in keeping your taxes down while still utilizing the building, please consider volunteering. Even if you are not a construction professional, you’re still welcome and encouraged to assist with the project. We also need fund raisers.


There are many possibilities for adaptive reuse of Epsom’s Historic Meetinghouse. Several residents have suggested the possibility of forming a group such as “The Epsom Players” which could put on plays in the upper level along with other cultural events. If planned properly, the Town of Epsom could develop a community center in the lower level. What a great space for social events, community suppers, town functions, weddings, etc. The structure could also serve as an emergency center and shelter. Think of all the possibilities and consider helping us keep taxes down while benefitting the Town of Epsom!


Please contact George Carlson at 736-8799, Richard Frambach at 736-9295, or Bruce and Penny Graham at 736-9044 for more information.

 


 

Letter


To my constituents in Allenstown, Epsom, and Pittsfield:
The licensing committee met this week to review all the hundred or so licensed, certified, and registered professions in the state. My hope was that we would be able to quickly triage these professions into those whose regulation seems about right and those that aren’t, but none of us had completed the survey yet. I’d only managed to get through the letter E – and explosives worker regulations seem OK! So we’ll have to do some more homework before we can get together again.


I also met with the committee working on HB42, establishing a state meat inspection program. It turns out that since we last met in October and put the bill into study pending a way to cover the start-up costs, several issues have been resolved. First, the state veterinarian has an unpaid intern this summer, who is going to develop the program rules; then the Agriculture committee is working on an exemption from inspection for small scale poultry farmers, which is nearly all the poultry producers in the state. Finally, a donor is interested in making a large contribution towards the program startup costs. All in all, it looks as though the state will be able to start inspecting meat processors next year, which will provide more farmers with a bigger market for their animals. The committee will be working on the language for a bill for next year throughout the summer and fall.


Anyone interested in what’s going on at the State House is invited to email or call me; those who’d like a more detailed report than I can fit in The Sun should email me for my newsletter.
