Northwood Historical Society Each year the Northwood Historical Society hosts three public events focusing on some aspect of town or regional history, In the recent past we've enjoyed music from a Civil War regimental band, learned about slavery in New Hampshire and heard about the life of a citizen-soldier in the American Revolution. These meetings are open to the public and free of charge.
Here are the events for 2007. Please check back often as dates, times and places may change.
