Upper Valley 250

In 2011, twelve towns in the Upper Valley will be celebrating the 250th Anniversary of their charters. Canaan, Enfield, Fairlee, Hanover, Hartford, Hartland, Lebanon, Lyme, Norwich, Plainfield, Thetford or Windsor, are part of a group known as the Middle Grants. In 1761, Governor Benning Wentworth issued the charters to these towns and many more.

Many commemorations are being planned in Upper Valley towns.  There are plans afoot for concerts, lectures, craft demonstrations and workshops, historical Quests, fireworks and more.

Valley Quest Workshops
Valley Quest will be working with local schools and historical societies to create early settlement Quests. Participants will learn to study and interpret early settlement history of their town and primary source materials. The workshops are free. The 1st workshops took place in May and were a great success.

The next workshop will take place October 1-2 in Lebanon, NH, . This workshop will also be free thanks to a grant from the NH Humanities Council.
