Open Farm Day

Join the Barnstead Historical Society in celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year!  We are excited to be participating in Barnstead’s Open Farm Day, with exhibits and demonstrations at the Town Hall  on August 20, from 10AM to 4PM.  Stop by to see photos of Barnstead many years ago, tour the old Lock-up, and to see examples of items found in early homes and businesses in the area.  Bring any old photos of Barnstead that you have questions about, one of us may be able to help you.  Or if you have a cemetery on your property, you can see who is buried there.  The Historical Society has reprinted the Barnstead 250th Anniversary Recipe Book and it will be available for purchase at $15 a copy.  We also have other books for sale, including the History of Barnstead, Malcom Locke’s Last Stories, the History of the Barnstead Fire Departments and the History and Genealogy of the Barnstead Early Families.  Also, you will be able to take a break and enjoy a relaxing chair massage by Zenworks, LLC, no appointment necessary. Refreshments will also be available. We look forward to seeing you!
