The Historical Society of Cheshire County is proud of the depth and breadth of the programs we have delivered – 174 programs last year, which reached 13,214 people, 25% of whom were youth. We are also proud of the investments we have made in our facilities – the historical preservation of the Wyman Tavern, the improvements at our headquarters the Ball Mansion, and the acquisition and renovations of the Bruder House next door to the Wyman Tavern. Through its 93-year history the Society has been an important asset for the community, and we want you to know we are in it for the long haul.

During the COVID-19 crisis, we have had to redirect our priorities. With our facilities closed, we have had to cancel or postpone a number of face-to-face programs and find ways to deliver our local history stories digitally. We are proud of the resiliency of our organization through these difficult times.

This year for NH Gives, we hope you will consider supporting the Historical Society in one of two ways: 1) to help us meet operating expenses so we can retain staff positions, or 2) to support our newest project, the Jonathan Daniels Center for Social Responsibility. Click Here to donate.

The Society is looking forward to helping people find their place in history as we phase into welcoming people back to our buildings again.
