Current Information & Events
July 2025 Focus
The Notch House - 1838
Recently, we were contacted by the folks at the Conway Scenic Railroad inviting us to partner with them on a series of events celebrating the 150th anniversary of the extension of the tracks from Bartlett through Crawford Notch, the building of Frankenstein Trestle, and the first train to roll over those tracks. As a result, we are expanding our museum’s railroad display and looking for additional railroad artifacts. Also, in conjunction with Conway Scenic, we are planning for a roundtable panel discussion to bring our local railroad history to life through the stories and experiences of local railroad workers or their family members. I’ve attached a letter explaining both the railroad display and roundtable discussion items in more detail.
A RARE FIND:
We recently acquired a pamphlet telling the story of the Willey family disaster.
It is a narrative written by Edward Melcher and published in 1880, when he was 83. Melcher was one of the twelve men who made their way to the Willey family site and recovered their bodies.
