Travel Back to 1776

Travel back to 1776! Join us for a hands-on celebration of America's 250th birthday. Kids and adults alike can experience Revolutionary War life through interactive crafts, games, stories, presentations, and more! This event will also bridge the gap between the nation's founding and Hooksett's local heritage, exploring how our community has commemorated the American spirit throughout the centuries.

This event is made possible by New Hampshire Humanities, in partnership with NHPBS, with additional support provided by Cogswell Benevolent Trust. By the People: Conversations Beyond 250 is a series of community driven programs created by humanities councils in collaboration with local partners. The initiative was developed by the Federation of State Humanities Councils and the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage.
