The New London/Lake Sunapee area has much to offer both residents and visitors, among which are dozens of stimulating and intriguing, mostly non-profit, organizations dedicated to a wide variety of interests.  One of these is the New London Historical Society.  As you will see if you visit their web site, the NLHS is an entirely volunteer organization which was founded in 1954.  Their one-building site has dramatically expanded over the years to include many buildings moved there from around the area.  Their mission is to preserve and present the history of New London which they do through a very wide variety of programs and presentations throughout the year, from hearth-side baking to Model “T” snowmobiles, and a lot in between. The NLHS also offers great ways to get involved, including helping the Tuesday Work Group do lots of odd-job projects around the campus, learning how to be a docent, helping with the newsletter, baking for an event, helping with acquisitions, etc.  Check it out!  We’re very lucky to have such a great organization both preserving our local history, as well as keeping us in touch with it.
