Twenty-seven cyclists joined our inaugural History Bike Ride-In from Woodsville to Lisbon where LAHS held an ice cream social. Jim McGregor and Tom Stephens were official LAHS scoopers. Cyclists came from Goffstown, Lancaster, Littleton, Lisbon, Landaff, Woodsville, Glen, East Ryegate and Wells River, VT, and Phoenix, AZ!

Couldn't make it? The narrative for the historic sites available here.

Marty’s Frosty Quest: The White Mountain Ice Cream Adventure



In the charming town of Lisbon, the legendary White Mountain Ice Cream factory churns out frozen delights. Truman Glover, the ice cream maestro, and his buddy Fred Hibbard create magic with their 20% butterfat ice cream. But there’s more to this sweet tale! Marty the Mouse, the LAHS museum’s tiniest historian, scurries through frosty adventures. Join Marty on this frosty quest—it’s another exciting chapter in his mouse-sized adventures! Click here to read his full adventure. These stories are crafted to captivate our young readers, sparking their curiosity and love for local history.

We recently received a beautiful and whimsical c.1926 pictorial map of New Hampshire. Scarce and significant, the map was designed and drawn by Elizabeth Shurtleff and Helen McMillin, two pioneering women artists and cartographers. The map was donated by Cary Clark of St. Paul, MN, a Lisbon native and former LAHS Trustee. The inset here shows amusing illustrations for our area: A Lyman gold miner, a fashionable Sugar Hill tourist, a bathtub for Bath, the "wild" Wild Ammonoosuc, men climbing Mt. Lafayette carrying an AMC banner, a little boy looking up at the Old Man of the Mountain, and a Bethlehem sneezer being arrested.
