Presentation: "Buried New Hampshire: Unearthing Stories from the Granite State’s Graves"
Description: A visual journey through New Hampshire’s cemeteries, revealing the poignant, legendary, and sometimes odd tales behind the tombstones—from colonial settlers to forgotten heroes—based on the work of Rick Davidson and Bill Thompson. This presentation explores the fascinating work of Rick Davidson and Bill Thompson, authors of "Buried New Hampshire: Graveyards Have Stories to Tell." Through evocative photography and historical research, they uncover the hidden narratives behind New Hampshire’s burial grounds—from the seacoast to the White Mountains and the Great North Woods. Each grave, whether nestled in a quiet family plot or standing alone in the backwoods, tells a story of settlers, soldiers, and citizens whose lives shaped the state’s legacy. The presentation highlights examples of:
• Historical context of New Hampshire’s cemeteries • Notable and unusual grave sites featured in the book • Legends, tragedies, and heroic deeds preserved in stone • The authors’ journey in researching and photographing these sites This is more than a tour of tombstones—it’s a tribute to the lives and lore that lie beneath them.
