Nashua Home Design Center

Thinking about adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or an in-law apartment to your property? 
An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) or in-law apartment can mean a lot of things. A place for aging parents to live independently but close by. A landing pad for an adult child. A future rental. A flexible space that adapts as life does. Whatever's drawing you to the idea, the questions tend to be the same: Is it allowed where I live? How much will it cost? Where would it even go? And how do I make sure it actually works?
Join us in the showrooms of the <a href="https://www.nashuahomedesigncenter.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Nashua Home Design Center</a> for a relaxed, conversational morning with David Bryan, President &amp; CEO, and Gates Bryan, Design Specialist, of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.blackdogbuilders.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">Blackdog Design/Build/Remodel</a>. Between them, they've helped countless New Hampshire and Massachusetts families think through these exact decisions, and they'll share what works, what doesn't, and what to think about before you start.What We’ll Cover:
<ul><li>What an ADU actually is, and what your town will (and won't) allow, between location, access, size, and utilities</li><li>The design constraints worth knowing about early</li><li>How to make an ADU feel like a natural extension of your home, not an addition tacked on</li><li>The family side of the conversation: finances, life changes, and how today's design should anticipate tomorrow's needs</li><li>Permitting in southern New Hampshire, and how the rules vary town to town</li><li>What it really takes to generate rental income from an ADU</li><li>The factors that genuinely move the needle on construction costs</li><li>How to choose the right people to work with</li><li>Smart, practical kitchen and bath design for smaller footprints</li></ul>
Come with questions. Leave with clarity, and a much better sense of what's possible on your own property!
Space is limited to 20 guests, so we keep things small&nbsp;enough for real conversation.

Nashua Historical Society

<h3>Nashua Historical Society Presents Declaring Independence: Then &amp; Now</h3>
<h4>A Powerful REV250 Live Performance of the Words That Helped Shape a Nation</h4>
Nashua Historical Society invites the public to experience a unique and thought-provoking live performance event this June as part of the nationwide commemoration of America’s 250th anniversary.
On Thursday, June 4, the Society will host two performances of Declaring Independence: Then &amp; Now at 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM at the Florence H. Speare Memorial Museum, 5 Abbott Street, Nashua, NH. This free public program brings the dramatic story of the Declaration of Independence to life through historic words, modern reflections, and the voices of the people who lived through extraordinary times.
In January 1776, New Hampshire became the first colony to adopt its own constitution — a bold act that helped pave the way for the Declaration of Independence just months later. Declaring Independence: Then &amp; Now explores that revolutionary moment through a compelling blend of primary source material, costumed readers, and contemporary commentary, revealing how citizens in New Hampshire and Massachusetts communities debated the risks, hopes, and meaning of independence.
Presented by actors in period dress, the performance combines historical storytelling with an annotated reading of the Declaration itself, inviting audiences to consider both the courage of 1776 and the enduring relevance of the nation’s founding ideals today.
The Nashua performances are part of a larger series of 15 community presentations taking place across the Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area during the spring and summer of 2026 in honor of the REV250 commemoration. “We are proud to bring this important program to Nashua,” says Paula Lochhead, the committee chairperson. “New Hampshire played a critical role in the movement toward independence, and this performance offers audiences a meaningful opportunity to connect with that history in a vivid and personal way.”
The Florence H. Speare Memorial Museum is fully accessible, air-conditioned, and comfortable for summer audiences. Admission is FREE and open to the public. Questions? 603-883-0015 
Declaring Independence: Then &amp; Now. Thursday, June 4, 2026. Speare Museum, 5 Abbott St., Nashua, NH 03064. 
 
Space is limited, and advance registration is required. Please sign up for one of two performances:
