SUMMARY:A Walk Back in Time: The Secrets of Cellar Holes
DESCRIPTION:Northern New England is full of reminders of past lives: stone walls\, old foundations\, a century-old lilac struggling to survive as the forest reclaims a once-sunny dooryard. What forces shaped the settlement and later abandonment of these places? Adair Mulligan explores the rich story to be discovered in what remains. See how one town has set out to create an inventory of its cellar holes\, piecing together the clues in the landscape. Such a project can help landowners know what to do if they have archaeological sites on their land and help stimulate interest in a town’s future through its past. \n5:30 to 6:30 p.m. via Zoom. To get the login details\, register here. Please save the confirmation email you receive from Zoom to access at the time of the event. Closed captioning will be available. For more information\, contact Susie Spikol. Note: This talk will not be recorded\, so we hope you can join us live! \nThis event is part of the New Hampshire Humanities “Humanities to Go” series. \n\nAbout Adair Mulligan\nFascinated by the natural and cultural history of northern New England\, Adair Mulligan is the author of The Gunstock Parish: A History of Gilford\, New Hampshire. She has also contributed to Proud to Live Here in the Connecticut River Valley; Where the Great River Rises: An Atlas of the Upper Connecticut River; and Beyond the Notches: Stories of Place in New Hampshire’s North Country. Formerly executive director of the Hanover Conservancy\, conservation director of the Connecticut River Joint Commissions\, and education director of NH Audubon\, she serves on the Orford Conservation Commission and board of directors of the Lyme Historians.

SUMMARY:Easygoing Hike at Mosquitobush
DESCRIPTION:From the mid-1800s through the 1930s\, Nubanusit Brook turned the machinery for small woodworking mills in the Harrisville hamlet known as Mosquitobush. Today\, that land is protected by Historic Harrisville and is under conservation easement with the Harris Center. Join Harris Center ecologist Brett Amy Thelen and John Knight of Historic Harrisville to explore the natural and cultural history of Mosquitobush and environs — at a time of year when its namesake won’t be a bother! We’ll visit what remains of the mill\, enjoy scenic views of Great Meadow and surrounding hills\, and search for signs of beaver\, otter\, and other wildlife who have reclaimed this once-industrial landscape. \nOur exact route may vary depending upon conditions\, but will not exceed 2.5 miles and 200 feet of elevation gain on a combination of trails and dirt roads. After the hike\, warm up over tea (optional) at the home of two current-day Mosquitobush residents. \n9 to 11:30 a.m. in Harrisville. Exact meeting location will be provided prior to the event. Space is limited\, and registration is required. For general information about Harris Center field trips\, see our Outings Information page. For more information about this particular outing\, including questions about accessibility\, contact Brett. \nCo-sponsored by the Harris Center for Conservation Education\, Historic Harrisville\, and the Village Community Center. \nAn illustration of the Mosquitobush sawmill from the book\, Mosquitobush: Yankee Prints & Stories by Francis W.
