Commemorating the arrival of the first Scots Irish Settlers on 12 April 1719, this is the 300th anniversary of the founding of Nutfield, New Hampshire.  There will be on going events all this year in the towns of Derry, Londonderry, Derryfield (Manchester), and Windham.

On Founders Weekend in East Derry, on April 12th to the 14th there will be a three day celebration with two tracks. The public Heritage Weekend will be based at the First Parish Meetinghouse (founded as the Presbyterian Church by Rev. James MacGregor in 1719).  There will be lots of free activities open to the general public.  The second track will be the Nutfield Families Reunion and Conference at the historic Upper Village Hall across the street from the Meetinghouse.  For a conference fee there will be opportunities for participants to share family history, research methods, and reunite with family members, and even make cousin connections with relatives they may never have known before.

The conference program includes four hour-long Keynote talks, a special welcome dinner, a gift bag of literature and souvenir items, beverages and snacks, lunch on Saturday and Sunday, priority discounts to the welcome dinner and Saturday night Gala, and a place to meet and share information.  Please go to this webpage to learn more and register for the Nutfield Families Reunion and Conferencehttps://www.nutfieldhistory.org/300th/founders-weekend/conference
