Letter To The Editor:

 

Congratulations and many thanks to the Gilmanton Historical Society for their wonderful program presented on Tuesday, August 26.  The topic was the story of Herman Webster Mudgett  (alias  H. H. Holmes) who was raised in Gilmanton and earned notoriety as a convicted serial killer in the 1890’s. 

 

The research was well prepared and thorough and very interesting to the audience.  Mr. Mudgett is apparently still popular in our local history as evidenced by the standing-room-only event.  There were several participants including an appearance by the villain himself.  

 

Mudgett’s  story is told in the book  “Devil in the White City”  by Erik Larson which was a best-seller.  That’s where to go for more information if you are curious about him.

 

The program was very well done and deserves recognition.  Thank you Gilmanton Historical Society.

Putting Human Faces on the Textile Industry: The Workers of the Amoskeag Company is Robert Perreault’s topic at the Gilmanton Historical Society on Tuesday, September 23rd, 7:30 pm.

 

Robert Perreault returns to the Gilmanton Historical Society on Tuesday evening, September 23, for a talk on daily life for textile workers at the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company. Mr. Perreault’s presentation sheds light on how people from many rural locations made the transition from an agrarian to an industrial society and how that change affected families, cultures, the nature of work and relationships among workers themselves.  The program, at the Old Town Hall on Route 140 in Gilmanton Iron Works,  is sponsored by the New Hampshire Humanities Council.

 

Robert Perreault has undertaken specialized study in New England Franco-American culture.  He conducts historical tours of Manchester and has published works of fiction and non-fiction in English and French.

 

This is the final program in the Society’s 2014 summer season. Refreshments and social hour begin at 7 pm; the program begins promptly at 7:30.  The Society’s Museum, in the basement of Old Town Hall,  is open at 7 pm.  The program is free and open to the public; donations to support the work of the Society are gratefully received.

 

The Gilmanton Historical Society offers a number of publications on the history of the Town.  They are available at all Society programs, at the Town Clerk’s Office, and at the Brick House in Gilmanton Corners.   The Society’s Museum, at Old Town Hall is open Saturdays from 10 am until noon, and at 7 pm before each of the summer programs.
