Aktinson NH Historical Society

• The Atkinson NH Historical Society receives regular requests to research New Hampshire homes, buildings, local families, people and events.
• Formerly the requests for reasearch went through a single individual, our secretary. That model has been changed as we now have a team that is dedicated to such research.

Do you need help with some research ?

• Recent assistance provided:
  -Young man from PA called to ask if anything was known about his great grandmother that lived on Main Street in the 1950s, Mrs Ernest Cheswell. One of the members recalled the woman and the work she did as a seamstress, making aprons and that she was a 'nice lady'. She lived in the home on 115 Main Street, known historically as the Fernald House. The man remembered the stories his mother had told him and his sister about the aprons his great grandmother had sewn. The society provided the gentleman with historical information and a photo of the home. He was very please with the information.
