Current Information & Events
What's Happening at the Museum Now ?
After several months of offering exhibits under the theme of “Winter in the Valley,” and with summer finally upon us, we are setting up new and enhancing other exhibits with the theme of “Historic Local Anniversaries.”
To make this change over, we are temporarily closing the BHS Museum from Monday, June 8th through Friday, July 3rd, inclusive. During that time period, we’ll be setting up exhibits that feature the Life Story of Josiah Bartlett, biographies of the six men who served in the Revolutionary War and later settled in Bartlett, the 150th anniversary of the incorporation of Livermore as a New Hampshire town, the history of significant local weather events, a remembrance of the Willey family disaster that occurred 200 years ago in Hart’s Location, a look back at the 1990 Bartlett Bicentennial celebration, an expanded exhibit honoring the soldiers from Bartlett in many different conflicts and finally, some new items in our tourism display. In addition to the setup of these exhibits, we also want to take some time to do a bit of building maintenance – nothing major but old buildings need care and we think this will be a good point to take care of a couple of items.
As we get closer to the reopening on July 4th, we’ll send out a reminder so you can add a visit to your museum in your summer and fall plans.
While we are closed, if you have any questions about our local history, please send them to us at our email – BartlettHistoryNH@gmail.com or by calling the museum at 603-374-5037.
If you have any questions concerning our new exhibits or our temporary closing, you can always reach me by email at Phil@BartlettHistory.org or by calling the museum.
Thank you for your understanding while we refresh our museum exhibits.
