New Hampshire's Famous, Infamous,
the Odd & the Unusual"
Thursday, November 21 at 10:30 am
The Lakes Region Genealogy Interest Group invites the public to attend a presentation by Rick Davidson and Bill Thompson on “Buried New Hampshire." The program is designed for anyone interested in New Hampshire, its people, and its history.
From the Seacoast to the White Mountains to the Great North Woods, New Hampshire’s burial grounds vary from urban park-like cemeteries to lonely markers hidden deep in the woods. The tombstones they contain tell fascinating stories of the past including those of heroic deeds and great tragedies.
Rick Davidson and Bill Thompson have a long history of roaming New Hampshire together fly-fishing, exploring, and photographing its historic and natural beauty. This led to years researching legends, following clues, and photographing Granite State cemeteries. Celebrities, murderers, victims, heroes, and famous historical personages can be found in New Hampshire's final resting places. Rick and Bill will share many intriguing photographs and stories in this presentation.
