WELCOME TO THE GREENLAND HISTORICAL SOCIETY

The Greenland Historical Society is dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich history of Greenland, New Hampshire. The current GHS was reestablished in 2017 to carry forward the work begun by the original Society (1966–2015). We proudly continue the work of our predecessors, which includes the extensive research of Paul C. and Anna Leary Hughes, their son Paul F. Hughes, and other dedicated historians.

Our growing archives include historical facts, vintage photographs, personal letters and diaries, town reports, and the comprehensive, multi-volume work A Pleasant Abiding Place: A History of Greenland, NH, 1635–2000, the unpublished manuscript by Paul C. and Paul F. Hughes. These resources offer a vivid look into the lives and legacy of our community through the centuries.

We host public programs throughout the year at various local landmarks, support historic preservation efforts, and encourage the teaching of Greenland’s history in our schools.

Whether you’re a local resident, researcher, or history enthusiast, we invite you to explore Greenland’s past with us.
