Description
Colebrook, NH has always been the hub of the extreme Northwestern corner of NH. Since early times and with the coming of the Railroad in 1889, when you came to Northern NH you had to go through Colebrook. To this day people still flock to Colebrook, to get a meal (for a town of 2,300 we have 6 restaurants), do their shopping, etc. To the immediate south we have a Catholic Shrine "Our Lady of Grace" that is always stated is in Colebrook when it is actually located in Columbia, NH. The Mondanock Mtn. which over sees our presence to our West is actually located in Lemington, VT. For this reason the society was named the Colebrook Area Historical Society. Due to Colebrook being the hub it was felt from the beginning in 1992 that artifacts needed to be preserved before they were lost or sold to antique collectors who live away. The museum was the Fruit of that Vision and has continued for 10 years. There is a very small core group who keep the organization going and with the advent of a Newsletter we hope to spread the message of preservation and increase participation.
