Following the official notice of Sandy’s death, his parents contemplated building a memorial “Cathedral” in his memory on the wooded knoll of the old Hale Farm where he would have built his home. They began to clear the site and the first service at the Cathedral of the Pines was held in August of 1945. Less than a year later the Cathedral was dedicated as a place of worship for all people and a memorial to Lt. Sanderson Sloane. The Historical Society’s winter exhibit will tell the story of the founding of the Cathedral and its impact over the last 65 years. This special exhibit is in place in the Exhibit Hall at the Society, 246 Main Street, Keene, NH, from now until April 8, 2011 and may be viewed during the Society’s open hours.

New Hampton Historical Society: Thursday, February 10th. 7pm. Program- New Hampshire’s Grange Movement: Its Rise, Triumphs and Decline Held at the New Hampton Gordon-Nash Library, the New Hampton Historical Society with guest speaker Steve Taylor, former NH Commissioner of Agriculture. This program is being funded in part by the New Hampshire Humanities Council. Much of rural New Hampshire in the late 19th century was locked in a downward spiral of population decline, abandonment of farms, reversion of cleared land to forest and shrinking of villages, all of which contributed to widespread feelings of melancholy and loss among its residents. The development of the Grange movement in the state in the 1880s and 1890s was aided greatly by people’s hunger for a new vehicle to draw communities together for social interaction, entertainment and mutual support. As the Grange rapidly established chapters throughout the state its influence in public affairs expanded greatly as well, such that by 1910 it had become a major force in policymaking in Concord, while many of its members had risen to important leadership positions, including that of governor. The Grange brought an agenda that aligned closely with the Progressive wave that swept New Hampshire politics in the early 20th century and many of the initiatives it advocated became law, placing the state at the leading edge in a number of areas of reform. This lecture will address the rise, the triumphs and the eventual decline of the Grange movement in New Hampshire. Former Grange members are invited to this program to share their experiences and memories of their local grange. For more information about the program please contact Gordon DuBois at 279 0379 or forestpd@metrocast.net. This program is free and open to the public.
