Merrimack Markers

CSAA Schoolhouse Registry Highlighted in Local Access Video: Congratulations Merrimack Historical Society!

The Merrimack Historical Society in southern New Hampshire held a very moving ceremony this past June to accept CSAA Registry plaques for two schoolhouses they own and curate! The local public access television service, Merrimack TV,  was there to record the event and share the importance of the history of public education, the meaning to the town, and plans for the future. Dignitaries and friends attended the presentation of the plaques on the grounds of Schoolhouse #3, now the headquarters for the Merrimack Historical Society.

The very recognition of these schoolhouses on the CSAA Schoolhouse Registry engendered a great deal of attention for the District #3 and District #12. The ceremony and the coverage by local access TV resulted in many new memberships for the historical society. The MHS board led by John Lastowka has brought the society into the 21st century with countless technology upgrades in the hopes of attracting a younger generation. They understand that community involvement is the key to any society's success and it looks as if Merrimack is on the right track to increase participation. Events such as this are the best advertisement. 

A little good news can go a long way, so MHS is glad to have membership in CSAA. 

​Hear what the locals have to say at the event! Watch the Merrimack TV video below so you might consider applying for your own schoolhouse marker as a prelude to a community presentation. A great job by Merrimack TV staff!!
