Gilmanton 1900-1920 At GHS July 28


Life in Gilmanton between 1900 and 1920 will be the subject of the Gilmanton Historical Society’s program on Tuesday, July 28th, 7:30 p.m. at the Old Town Hall on Route 140 in Gilmanton Iron Works.


Following up on last year’s program about the 1890s, Pat Clarke has compiled another two decades of Gilmanton history drawn from newspaper reports of the time.  Readers John and Carolyn Dickey, Paula Gilman and Carolyn Baldwin will describe events and the life style of the period with excerpts from the local newspapers.  The program will be illustrated with photographs of the Town during  the period.


The Gilmanton Historical Society’s summer series continues on  August 25th when  Steve Taylor, former NH Commissioner of Agriculture, tells us how sheep raising in the mid 19th century changed the New Hampshire landscape, with a talk on The Great New Hampshire Sheep Boom at the Gilmanton Academy Building.


The final program in the series, on September 22nd at the Old Town Hall, is Before Peyton Place: In Search of the Real Grace Metalious. Robert Perreault introduces us to the young Grace De Repentigny Metalious, revealing a side of the author that has remained largely unknown to the general public.


All programs are free and open to the public; donations are gratefully accepted.   Refreshments and social hour begin at 7 p.m., with the program beginning promptly at 7:30.

Gilmanton Selectmen Don Guarino, Rachel Hatch and Betty Ann Abbott poked fun at themselves as “Big Wheels of Gilmanton” in the Fourth of July Parade. They “rode” Big Wheels, which they bought for the occasion, then gave them away to 3 lucky children in a drawing at the fireworks that night at Crystal Lake Park. (Photo by Margaret Hempel).
