how preserving our historic buildings is essential to tourism and business in
New Hampshire.

on the 2010 Seven to Save
 |
| The Derry Upper Village Hall hosted the Taylor Family Reunion this summer and was on the first list in 2006. It is still waiting to be "saved". |
In 2009 the First Parish Church
in Derry, founded by the original Scots Irish Settlers of Nutfield, was named
to the “Seven to Save List”. I wrote about this at my post on 1 November 2009,
which you can read at this link http://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2009/11/first-parish-church-derry.html
On the first list in 2006
the Derry Upper Village Hall Meetinghouse was also listed, which is located
across the street from the First Parish Church.

ReplyDeleteHmm. Two of my cousins work at the Balsams. I wonder if they will open it up for the traditional election night vote?
