This Morning Broke Clear
Warner, NH., in the Wake of the Civil War 1860-1900
In 2005 the Warner Historical Society began work on a community arts project to produce a documentary movie which would tell the story of Warner from the Civil War to the turn of the century, 1860-1900.
This was one of the most dynamic periods in the town's history, a time of challenge not only for Warner but for other small towns across New England.
During this era Warner built a high school and a library, founded a major agricultural fair, established social and civic organizations, and built a rich cultural and artistic life.
But the town also struggled year after year against a faltering economy, and attempted to reinvent itself as a center of tourism and small manufacturing. That struggle was challenged at almost every step by abandoned farms, hotel and factory fires, a dwindling population, economic downturns, political squabbles and business failures. Even so, Warner moved forward.
Material for the movie is drawn almost completely from the archives of the Warner Historical Society. Letters, articles and diary material in the movie are read by more than 30 local townspeople.
