Restorations for Hancock's Meetinghouse
Members of the Hancock Meetinghouse Restoration Fundraising
Subcommittee met Wednesday night to plan for a $1
million renovation campaign. Committee member and architect
David Drasba started the process several years ago when he secured
an LCHIP grant to study the building. Uniquely in Hancock,
the church and the town share ownership of the building, so the
committee has representatives of both groups. According to Pastor
Judy Copeland the building is in good shape considering its
age. The 100-year-old slate roof should be replaced. The building
was erected in 1821 and moved across Main Street to its present
location about 1850. The Committee hopes to update the electricity
and heating system and add handicapped accessible bathrooms
and a platform lift to replace the chairlift along the curved stairway
which leads to the church sanctuary.While it serves as a church on
Sunday morning, the multi-function building has also been used
for concerts, fundraisers, and as Town Offices, Town Meetings and
for voting.
Female hiker injured on Mt. Kearsarge
New Hampshire Fish and Game officials say a Mount Kearsarge
hiker injured her leg and required assistance after her dog pulled
her as they were descending a trail. Twenty-three-year-old Erin
Parnell of Lebanon had hiked to the summit on Monday. She was
making her way back to the parking at Winslow State Park when
she lost her footing and twisted her ankle. She was able to hike
down the Barlow Trail for about a quarter of a mile, but needed
help after that. Rescuers from the Wilmot, New London and Sutton
fire departments responded and she was taken to a hospital.
Francestown dedicates heritage Museum
Last Saturday afternoon, a large group gathered next to the
Town Hall to formally accept the gift of the building and dedicate it
as the town's Heritage Museum. As part of the ceremony, the town
honored O. Alan Thulander for his long and successful efforts in
bringing the project to a conclusion.
