2022 Programs
The Warner Historical Society will present a number of programs and host various events throughout the year. Normally, they are held at the Main Street House, the Lower Warner Meeting House, MainStreet BookEnds, and at the Warner Town Hall. Flyers announcing the specific events are posted around town, on the Historical Society front door, and in the Society Newsletter. At the moment our programs are either online or outdoors.
The following is a calendar of programs and events:

August 21, 2:00pm - Concert: Song of Old New Hampshire with Jeff Warner - Drawing heavily on the repertoire of traditional singer Lena Bourne Fish (1873-1945) of Jaffrey and Temple, NH. These ballads, love songs and comic pieces, reveal the experiences and emotions of daily life in the days before movies, sound recordings and, for some, books. Songs from the lumber camps, the decks of sailing ships, the textile mills, and the war between the sexes offer views of pre-industrial New England and a chance to hear living artifacts from the 18th and 19th centuries. At the Lower Warner Meeting House. Free and open to the public. Sponsored by NH Humanities.
September 18, 1pm-3pm – Tory Hill Authors Series Reading Warner’s Historic Landscape - Richard Cook, Rebecca Courser and Sherry Gould will lead us on a walk on a class six road in Warner starting at Cunningham Pond. There they will help us to "read the forested landscape.” We'll learn to interpret the clues found in the landscape caused by human activity for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Registration limited to 20 people. Tickets $10 available online, at the Main Street office and MainStreet BookEnds. https://www.toryhillauthorsseries.com/tickets.html, Warner Historical Society, info@warnerhistorical.org or 603-456-2437.
