Welcome to the New Market Historical Society
We are dedicated to increasing public understanding and enthusiasm for our local history and preservation. Our mission is to provide a central location, where we can store, introduce, interpret, and stimulate the study of local history. Our goals are to tell Newmarket’s story, preserve its local artifacts, and sponsor historical events and educational opportunities. Please consult our program of events for exact dates, times, and locations for our meetings and events. The public is always welcome to attend our educational meetings, which are free except for select special events.
Donations are always welcomed and greatly appreciated!
OUR MONTHLY MEETINGs and PROGRAMS have changed from the traditional 4th Monday of the month to the 4th Sunday afternoon this year — the programs are free and open to the public. See the list of special events below for dates.
NEWMARKET ARTISTS DISPLAY THEIR WORKS — local artists present various prints, pottery, paintings, photographs, sculpture, textiles — all on view and some are for sale — this is the perfect opportunity to purchase that early, unique holiday gift. Originally planned to be a weekend ’plein air” art event, due to the downtown construction and changing traffic patterns, we have moved the venue to inside the Stone School Museum.
Kaylee’s Bakery, Twice A Lady, Kimberly Alexander & Dane Morrison, Colonial Table, Cynthia Designs Sewing Studio *, Good JuJu by Ceci, Susan Love- Bean Group, Flora Ventures, and the University of New Hampshire Museum and Speical Collections.
