Join us on Monday, June 3, at 4 pm as the Canterbury Historical Society Board of Trustees conduct their monthly meeting in the Elkins Memorial building. You can listen to the committee reports and check out the latest artifacts on display.

The society has established a committee chaired by Bill Adams of Hackleboro Road to identify and document abandoned cellar holes, barn foundations, and other historic stone artifacts to aid historians and residents of Canterbury in gaining a more complete understanding of the town’s history. Cellar holes are the in-ground remains of old homes, barns, sheds, mills and other stone structures that once covered Canterbury’s countryside and a vital link to Canterbury’s past.

Our goal is to identify as many abandoned historic stone artifacts in the town as possible. The information gleaned from this survey will help create a more complete understanding of our town and how it has changed over the years. This information can be used by historians as well as residents to learn more about the history of Canterbury.

Anyone interested in learning more about this survey is invited to contact the Historic Stone Foundations Committee Chair Bill Adams, either at canterbury.nh.historical.society@gmail.com or at earthechoes.adams@gmail.com.
