Welcome!

A few people banded together in 1971 to form an organization to preserve and promote the history of Epping. This came about because a couple of ladies, who loved old cemeteries, had been trudging through the woods finding and making detailed lists of folks buried there. They contacted several local people, who went to Concord, did the paperwork, and we received our charter in 1971. At our first meeting after we received our charter, as president, I turned the gavel over to Winthrop Snow, to be our new leader. Many people were involved, the Sanborn’s, the Kimball’s, the Allen’s, and many more, too numerous to mention. For the first few years we held our meetings in the Lydia Ladd room at the Library. But, we soon realized the Library could not house all the museum artifacts we were receiving from townspeople. John and Minnie Warren purchased the old A & P building, and gave it to the Historical Society as a gift. We then borrowed money to renovate the building. of course a lot of fundraising was involved to meet our debt. As part of our mission, we offer a scholarship every year to a qualified senior interested in history. The society is staffed and kept open by volunteers. They make copies, make detailed lists of our material and enter it into the computer. On Monday’s we have at least four volunteers working. If you are looking for a fun way to spend a morning, come and join us, become a volunteer!
