OPEN HOUSE.....Free and Open to the Public

The Stratham Historical Society will once again host an Open House, free and open to the public, on December 11, from 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM.  Stop by the Open House, tour the historic 1912 building, view the museum items and collections.  Learn more about what the society does to preserve Stratham's history.  

Recent items added to the collection includes a set of Oyster Tongs made for and used by Dan Crow's father to retrieve oysters from Great Bay and its tributaries.  Back by popular demand will be "The Frying Pan" for which Fryingpan Lane was named and controversially renamed.  The frying pan will be on loan for the Open House, thanks to the generosity of the Law Family who are descended from the 18th century Chase Family of Stratham.

The Society is also planning to reveal an extraordinary new exhibit donated by John Wingate Seavey.  The display for this rare 18th century artifact pertaining specifically to Stratham is currently under construction.  

Mark your calendars....Thursday, Dec. 11th from 5:00 - 7:00 PM  Location: SHS Building, 158 Portsmouth Avenue, Stratham (corner of Winnicutt and Portsmouth Avenue).  JOIN US....bring a family member, a neighbor or tell a friend.  

NOTE:  If you are in possession of Stratham memorabilia, historical documents, artifacts or more, bring them in for sharing...Show & Tell
