The Walpole Historical Society’s Museum will open Saturday June 3, 2017, with two brand new exhibits and new additions to the popular Louisa May Alcott exhibit.

The main gallery has been transformed into a timeline of over two hundred years of Walpole history.  Visitors will learn how Walpole evolved from a Native American seasonal fishing encampment in the 1700’s and how early settlers slowly transformed a wilderness into a prosperous New England village.

The exhibit “Walpole’s Louisa May Alcott” continues with an additional display that compares Louisa’s real Walpole experiences with the drama she wrote about in her famous novel Little Women.

Upstairs is another new exhibit, “When They Were Young” which features children’s clothing from the 1800’s to the 1960’s. Visitors can admire and ponder how children were ever clothed in such “formal” clothing when compared to today’s casual and easy-care styles.

The gift shop is brimming with colorful accessories and beautiful hand sewn table runners.  There are new children’s books and fun items.  We have a variety of books, wooden book marks, note cards, candles and napkins.  We invite you to come often and browse our museum.

The Walpole Historical Society Museum will open for the season on Saturday from noon until 4:00 PM  June 3, 2017 and every Saturday until mid-October.  It is located at 32 Main St., Walpole, New Hampshire.  * We are happy to open our doors anytime by appointment*.  You may call us at 603-756-3449 or call Joan at 756-3078 or Sally at 445-2527  Hope to see you soon.

If you were there, you know who won last year so I need not remind you.  I most remember it as a fun time and am sure you do as well! – Lil

YES, Did You Know That the deadline for submissions for the May 2017 issue of THE WALPOLE CLARION is Friday the 21st of April? A couple days early because of the way the days of the month fall. The issue will go to the printer on Monday 24th of April, and be in everyone’s mailboxes by 1 May.

Submissions so far have been sparse for this coming month. Please, please, get your news; and, or organization’s updates in now – the sooner the better. And, in case I have space, and you have always wanted to submit some creative writing, a short tale, or human interest story — I may have space in May.

If you have any questions for an article, or your advertising needs do not hesitate to email or call me. My contact information is in the upper right hand of the pages on the CLARION website.  Thank you, yours, RAY

A sure sign of Spring – Thanks Jana Sellarole and all the Friends of the Library for giving us courage to carry on! – Lil
