SUMMARY:Albert Duval Quigley Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Albert Quigley lived in the small New Hampshire hill town of Nelson for almost three decades\, from the 1930s to the 1960s.   Towns such as Nelson were struggling to survive as the Depression caused economic hardship\, agriculture and industry died out\, and small towns off the beaten path were searching for new identities. Quigley’s paintings of the region’s landscapes and people illustrate this story of hardship\, rebirth and revival in the mid-20th century.  He was much more than an artist\, however.  Quigley wrote music\, played the fiddle at local dances and repaired musical instruments.  He worked in the textile mill in neighboring Harrisville and made frames for his own paintings and for the artwork of others.   Although his art did not make him a rich man\, Quigley’s life was filled with rich experiences and he enriched the town of Nelson and the Monadnock Region through his art\, music and connection to the community.  This exhibit will celebrate his art\, his life\, and his artistic depiction of a now vanished place and time.

SUMMARY:"Celebrating the Lowly Brick"
DESCRIPTION:Marlborough Historical Society Program — “Celebrating the Lowly Brick” \nThe Marlborough Historical Society will hold its next meeting  & program on Tuesday April 25\, 7:00 PM at the Marlborough Community House\, 160 Main St in Marlborough. Following a short business meeting there will be a special program\, “Celebrating the Lowly Brick” which will be presented by Historical Society of Cheshire County Trustee\, Jim Rousmaniere\, a writer and former journalist who retired from the editorship of The Keene Sentinel in 2013. His presentation will  shed light on the profusion of brick structures in this area in what was one of the three most productive brick-making regions of the state during the 19th century. The talk also draws attention to evolutions of mortar — a substance that\, like brick itself\, has a more dynamic history than most people expect. Call 876-3980 for additional information.

SUMMARY:2017 NH Film Series: The Happy Time
DESCRIPTION:The Happy Time \n7pm. Keene Public Library\, 30 Winter Street\, Keene\, NH \nDirected in 1952 by Richard Fleischer\, The Happy Time depicts the story of a an eccentric\, free-spirited extended French Canadian family living in the Calvinistic\, sexually repressed environs of Ottawa in the 1920’s.  The Happy Time is based on the 1945 collection of semi-fictional sketches written by Robert Fontaine.  Fontaine was born in Illinois in 1908 to a Scots-Irish mother and a French-Canadian father; when he was very young\, the family moved to Ottawa (but lived for a while in Springfield\, Mass.).  The audience is invited to discuss the film’s depiction of French-Canadian culture after the film\, led by Keene film historian Larry Benaquist.  One could of course ask:  what does The Happy Time have to do with local history in Cheshire County?\, According to the U.S. Census Bureau\, in 2000\, 24.5% of New Hampshire residents were of French\, or French Canadian ancestry\, the largest ethnic group in the state; only Maine has a higher percentage\, at 25%.  The Historical Society of Cheshire County’s film series seeks to communicate local history through film.
