Plaistow Historical Society
The Historical Society is in need of volunteers. If you want to help, come see us.
The center granite piece inscribed TOWN HALL, pictured here in the old Town Hall circa 1890, can be found in the basement foundation of the new Town Hall built in 1895. It is located on the west wall, just below the current entranceway.
During renovations to Town Hall the granite piece has been partially blocked from view by the new heating system.
Some folks are hot under the collar for the over site when replacing the heating system but others are cool to the idea of making any change.
Would you like to visit us at the museum, everyone is welcome. It may not be easy to stop in on Thursday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. when we have scheduled our work session. All you need to do is let us know when you can make it. Call 603 382-1675 and leave a message on our answering machine, we will get back to you. An e-mail to info@plaistowhistorical.org is another way to contact us. Hopefully, you want to become part of our organization. Looking forward to hearing from you.
