Annual Meeting 2025

Come learn more about what the New Hampshire Historical Society has accomplished over the past year as we celebrate our 202nd annual meeting. The annual meeting includes the business meeting, two programs on the American Revolution, and an optional lunch. The keynote speaker is Scott Stephenson, president and CEO of the Museum of the American Revolution, speaking about the museum’s efforts to mark the nation’s birthday with "Banners of Liberty: An Exhibition of Original Revolutionary War Flags," which opens in Philadelphia in April. Only 30 flags from the American Revolution are known to survive today, and this exhibition features 17 of them. Two of the flags are on loan from the New Hampshire Historical Society. Stephenson’s talk will include new insights into these rare and significant “banners of liberty.” The afternoon program, "'Mr. Revere Will Give You the News': The Many Rides of Paul Revere," begins with a dramatic reading of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "Paul Revere's Ride" by Professor Peter Josephson, followed by a talk by Nina Zannieri, executive director of the Paul Revere Memorial Association in Boston. An optional lunch for in-person attendees is available for $20 with advance registration. This event is for members only, and members may attend either in person at 30 Park St., Concord, or virtually via Zoom. 

The Society’s 2025 annual meeting is generously sponsored by Gallagher Insurance, Risk Management, Consulting.
