Cruising New Hampshire History Presentation – Thursday, August 5 at 6:30 p.m.

The public is invited to join us as we welcome Mr. Michael Bruno, a NH author.  Mr. Bruno will share historical information on his book titled, Cruising New Hampshire History: A Guide to New Hampshire's Roadside Historical Markers.

New Hampshire history is uniquely on display along the highways of the Granite State. The New Hampshire roadside historical markers commemorate significant events and individuals from the first settlers arriving in 1623 to notable individuals who helped define what New Hampshire is today.  New Hampshire also played a major role in the birth of our nation.  From Revolutionary battlefields to individuals of political influence, the Granite State has made an indelible mark on history.  This book explores the 255 New Hampshire historical markers that dot the state highways and roads. Each marker is described with its location (to include GPS coordinates), date installed, marker inscription, and expanded historical references of this event/individual. Information may also be provided about other points of interest in the vicinity of the historical marker.

Please contact us at 382-4691 or galelibraryreads@comcast.net to register for this presentation that will be held virtually.  A Zoom link for attendance will be sent to you.
