Historic Sites and Stories in and around
Derry, New Hampshire
Welcome to the beginnings of this new site. There is a rich and exciting history in the Derry area, and here we'll write about it and the groups, activities, websites, and other points of interest in the area.
Our main initial focus is on the exciting rehabilitation work going on at the anchor of the East Derry Village Historic District, the 1769 Meetinghouse at First Parish Church in East Derry, New Hampshire.
We also have historical background and other information gathered for the 2019 300th. Anniversary celebration of the founding of this area, called Nutfield.
