The Historical Society Speaker Series opens with “Digging into Native History in New Hampshire”
The Walpole Historical Society’s popular Speaker Series opens on Friday, September 22nd at
7:00PM at the Walpole Town Hall with the return of anthropologist Dr. Robert Goodby. Last
spring, Dr. Goodby spoke about evidence of Native Americans in this area 12,000 years ago.
“Digging into Native American History in New Hampshire” will take a look at what happened to
that culture after the arrival of Europeans. The audience will learn that Abenaki history has been
reduced to near-invisibility as a result of conquest, a conquering culture that placed little value
on the Indian experience, and a strategy of self-preservation that required many Abenaki to go
“underground,” concealing their true identities for generations to avoid discrimination and
persecution. Dr. Goodby will reveal archaeological evidence that will show their deep presence
here, inches below the earth’s surface.
The public is invited to this free event.
This year’s Walpole CROP Hunger Walk will be held on Saturday, September 30th, beginning at 9:30. The walk will begin and end at the Walpole Congregational Church on the Common. The route has changed and is a bit shorter than previous years. There are two options – a full walk of about 3.5 miles and another that cuts the length of the walk to about 3.0 miles by leaving out a small section near the end. We think that the new route, located closer to the village core, will be very enjoyable! Copies of the walking route will be available at Galloway Real Estate in Walpole beginning September 1st.
Please consider registering and joining other walkers. Perhaps you have friends that would like to join you! To learn more about the walk and to register online, simply go to www.crophungerwalk.org/walpolenh and click on REGISTER. You may register as an individual, create a team, or join an existing team already registered. It’s that easy! Once you are registered, you can encourage others to DONATE to your walk. Donators can go to the web address and donate either to to an individual or to a group/team. Learn more about CROP Hunger Walk 2017 at https://www.crophungerwalk.org.
