Hillsborough Historical Society

History Alive! continues its annual Living History Event in Hillsborough, NH with a new, more inclusive focus & wider appeal. Historic reenactments, hands-on displays of daily life, tasks, play, and crafts fill two full days on two sites in an historic village & large field. This year, people of color are being included as part of the regional history, with more emphasis on women’s and children’s roles as well. In the past, reenactors such as Abe Lincoln, Franklin Pierce, and George Washington have given speeches and interacted with the audience. Gwendolyn Quezaire-Presutti as Oney Judge Staines will attract a wider audience interested in historical issues that are new to most.
