CALENDAR OF EVENTS
Hello Friends!
Like you, we are hoping that 'normal' life will resume soon. While we continue to work on our special exhibit and summer programming, we understand that our events may be postponed or presented in a different format. Currently, our plans are to offer our June and July program via Zoom. For your convenience, we've added Zoom instructions below.
Please continue to check our website for updates and sign up for our newsletter for the latest news.
Using Zoom during Covid 19
Zoom is a video communications platform, with an easy, reliable cloud platform for video and audio conferencing, chat, and webinars. NHTM will be using Zoom to host our upcoming events. If you have never used Zoom before, please do not be intimidated by this technology. It is easy to use and there are many people available to help you get started - like us!
The one and only hurdle is that you must have access to a computer. Although Zoom is available on most smartphones, it could be difficult to watch an event given the small screen.
Our local library, the Pillsbury Free Library in Warner, NH, has provided some very helpful information on their website and instructions on how to get started with Zoom. Please click on this link - Zoom for Beginners -

We wish to thank Sugar River Bank for their support of our Grand Opening Celebration.
New Hampshire Telephone Museum's 2020 Special Exhibit
May through October 2020 - Extended into 2021
As the railroad system expanded, so did the need for a reliable method of communicating. The New Hampshire Telephone Museum’s 2020 special exhibit explores the history of railroad communications as it evolved from a system of simple signs to the use of the telegraph and then the telephone.
In addition to the communications methods they utilized, this exhibit delves into the use of the railroad to carry another form of communication – the U.S. Mail – a system which, coincidentally, was perfected by the future president of the Bell Telephone System, Theodore Vail.
In keeping with the communications theme, the exhibit is rounded out by a fun look at the words and phrases of today whose roots stem from the days of the railroad.

We're always on the look-out for interesting speakers and fun events, so on occasion, we're apt to arrange a Pop-Up Event. Pop-Up Events might be anything from an hour lecture or a mini-exhibit that lasts only a day. There's no way for any of us to know what or when a Pop-Up Event may occur, so you'll just have to be sure to sign up for our newsletter, follow us on Facebook or look for our ads. When a Pop Up Event is scheduled in will take place either outside or via Zoom until further notice.
