Madison Historical Society

P.O. Box 505, Madison, New Hampshire 03849
WELCOME
WHAT'S HAPPENING AT THE


HISTORICAL SOCIETY?!




We are continually grateful for the use of our

historic Town owned building, and we think it is

time to spruce it up inside and out. The museum

will not be open as usual this summer
due to the

many painting and repair projects we will have.

BUT WAIT! We have big plans to keep you

connected, informed and entertained throughout

the summer.


First the projects:


#1 - The roof and building exterior will be

painted by BD Works Painting, made possible by

the generosity of the Madison voters and their

continued support of the MHS capital reserve

fund. We thank you!


#2 - Two of the most deserving windows will be

removed, repaired and reinstalled by

Preservation Works, generously funded by a

grant through the ​Henney Fund. Anyone wishing

to contribute to or sponsor one of the six

remaining windows that need repair, please

contact director Nancy Martin at

[email protected].


​#3 - The interior projects, including painting,

restoration of shutters and floors, and a new

front door will all be funded by the greater

community's generous donations, your member-

ship dues, memorial donations, used book sales

and all the blueberry buckles, jams, pies,

cookies and scones you have donated, purchased

and consumed through the years. We are

grateful!


If you have a little free time this summer we'd

love to have some help. Let us know your interest

and specialty and we'll hook you up to a little

project. Contact director Nancy Martin at

​[email protected].


Now for the fun part!



We're still working out the details and dates BUT

here's a preview of our summer plans:


Back by popular demand, MUSIC BY THE LAKE,

local artists perform at the Foot of the Lake

beach June, July and August.


We have created a self-guided MADISON HISTORI-

CAL TOUR
you and your family can enjoy at your

convenience. Discover the history lurking behind

some of the place you pass by every day.


We're planning a special event including a TOUR

of THREE HISTORICAL HOMES
in Silver Lake. Stay

tuned for date and ticket information. Spaces

will be limited.


Visit our table at the COMMUNITY FAIR the first

Saturday of OLD HOME WEEK. We'll have all our

publications and wearable merchandise for sale.


And, of course our spectacular BLUEBERRY BAKE

AND BOOK SALE the first Sunday of Old Home

Week.



Be sure to check back here for updates! We hope

to see you this summer!
