Welcome!
“Preserving the past for future generations”
First some announcements,
First Lady Michelle Obama came to the Penacook Community Center to show her support for the PCC joining the Let's Move initiative. Included in this presentation was her thanking The Penacook Historical Society for our partnership with them, that allowed the use of garden space to benefit the children from the Community Center during the summer. We appreciate the recognition but it's all about the children and exposing them to gardening, an activity that teaches them about plants and gets them outside.
The Calendars for 2012 are done - the price is $9.95 ea. online and $10.00 at the Gift Shop.
We have added locally made Soy Candles and Real Maple Syrup to the gift shop. 100% of the proceeds from our gift shop go towards the upkeep of the Rolfe Homestead and funding the many events we have to benefit the community.
The new Newsletter for 2012 has been published and will be mailed to all members and will be available shortly online and Facebook.
Events ALL at the 1834 Rolfe House on 11 Penacook St. in Penacook, NH 03303 unless noted!
