Letter From The PUBLISHER Dear reader, I’m extremely pleased to welcome you to this first issue of Rediscover New England’s Southern New Hampshire edition. At heart, this is a magazine that celebrates our local history. During these last many months, we’ve been treasure hunting for stories to bring to you. Our writers have looked through attics, burrowed into town records, and explored the depths of digital archives. This first issue is a collection of those found treasures — some of the best stories of Southern New Hampshire we could find. We’ve re-confirmed that our community’s past is rich, sometimes quirky, but always fascinating! We hope you will agree and that you enjoy this annual revisiting of local history as much as Rediscover New England and its advertisers enjoy bringing it to you.
