THE CHARLES E. TILTON MANSION

“We’re honoring the past and using that knowledge to forge ahead,” says Head of School Kate Saunders P ’17, ’21. On the heels of landmark exterior renovations during the summer of 2021 — made possible thanks to support from the Masiello Family Foundation and the Land and Community Heritage Investment Program (LCHIP) — Tilton received an additional capital gift from the Masiello Family Foundation to begin work on the interior of the Mansion. What’s in store? Restorations throughout the building, new classroom spaces for the arts and social sciences, a gallery for students and visiting artists, and so much more!

Program And Place

Over 150,000 square feet of facilities renovations

Over 1,000 hours of collaboration with students and alumni

Over 30 community partnerships to create real-world learning opportunities

Over 25 new events to showcase student projects and unique learning experiences

With our distinctive model of teaching and learning and unique location, the future of education at Tilton School will extend far beyond campus. As the Mansion project develops, every choice we make will have the community in mind. At times this will be our school community, with the Masiello Family Terrace as a place to gather and celebrate, or the new art gallery as a place to showcase student work and support regional and national artists. It’s also about establishing meaningful connections within the surrounding community to enrich both the educational experience at Tilton and the development of our hometown. Partners like the Tilton Historical Society, the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, and the local chamber of commerce will help us establish the Mansion as a centerpiece of the community that people want to visit.
