WILMOT HISTORICAL SOCIETY HISTORY ROOM

Formerly a one-room schoolhouse in Wilmot Flat,
this building now houses the Town Office and History Room.

9 Kearsarge Valley Road, P.O. Box 97, Wilmot, NH

Everywhere we turn in Wilmot, we see glimpses of the past - of 200 years of building, foundations, mill races, agriculture, commerce, and stone walls that surrounded early pastures.  The mission of the Wilmot Historical Society encourages us to engage with and stay connected to the people and timeline of our history.

We do this in many ways such as
     -  recording audio and video stories of long-time Wilmot residents;
     -  updating our website with videos, documents, and photos;
     -  sponsoring presentations that explain and immerse us in our past;
     -  documenting the evolving past of our community;
     -  collecting & displaying artifacts that open doors to the Town’s history.

Letter Found in Attic of
Thompson Family Home

Recently, I found this letter in a box of papers in the attic of my home on Cross Hill Road in Wilmot.  I have chosen to share it because of its pertinence to the global vaccination effort to combat the Covid-19 pandemic we are living through today. The letter was sent in March of 1842 from Almira Thompson, age 35, to her younger brother Samuel, age 31, who was later to become my Great Grandfather. - Liz Kirby
