150 years of history

Picture 024

The New Hampshire Antiquarian Society has cleaned out its attic for the summer exhibit. This June, the second floor is dedicated to all the cool Hopkinton-related things society members have donated over the years, including the old Hopkinton post office window, a carousel horse, portraits of a local family by a well-known itinerant painter, and an old fire engine pumper used in town in 1811. (Never seen a hose made of leather and brass studs? Here’s your chance!) The museum is located on 300 Main Street, and is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
