Annual Reports

abc
scan of cover/s 

1921 one hundred years ago, 
to do that look at two reports 
fiscal year ending January 31, 1921 will have the Town Warrant (pp. 2-4) for plans for 1921 
Town Meeting held Town Hall 9am March 8, 1921 (see reporter news on this) 

Breaking roads and snowing bridges (details pp. 32-33) 

Reconstruct main street, Conway Center (doing that again in 2021) one hundred years later 
insert map conway center, spelled centre, and photos main street construction 

then to find out what actually happened go to 1992 Annual Report, For the Fiscal Year Ending January 31, 1922 

(does the Town office have these reports?) 
call them say page missing got call for vital records from x year 


Selectmen's report, Inventory p. 6, 1922 report for year 1921 (one hundred years ago) 

396 horses and 4 oxen, 499 cows 

breaking roads and snowing bridges p. 29 

bounties $69 (p. 37) 
2 Lynx, etc. 



then to  

1927 for 1926 
follow up from previous blog Independence Day here. 

also had request today 7/7/2021 for vital record 

share some of the stories/history that can be found in them 

may require bit of context 
snowing bridges 
bounties 
etc. 

they are very fragile, paper of the time period not preserve well, very acidic 
should be scanned so originals can be better preserved 
see my gppt on this 
recently had volunteer sort them and put into acid free boxes for better preservation and easier access
they were vertical in bad plastic, gravity 
now horizontal gravity helps now not hurts 
ghi

taking my own advice from previous blog here and prepare for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 2026. It will be quite a party. 
 
1926 and 1927 
1926 was the 150th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, planning anything?
1927 has the report from 1927 spent anything? 
does not seem to be anything for that 

see reporter news on 1776-1926 
  
Check what town did from annual report in 1976, the 200th. 
can not check reporter news for that as we sent that microfilm to be digitized

History on the Move

Historic sketch of a building being moved.  Note they used at least six yoke (pairs) of oxen.  Charles-Alexandre Lesueur (1778-1846). Le Havre (France), Muséum d’histoire naturelle. Starting at 9 am on Tuesday, July 29, 2025 (weather permitting) you will be able to see a similar scene when the Jackson Historical Society moves its Museum building (the old Jackson Town Hall) about 150 feet to a new location, albeit with modern equipment instead of oxen.  The building is all jacked up and ready to roll! Be sure to put this on your calendar!  Bring a lawn chair and watch the fun from a safe distance across the street The Conway Public Library's Henney History Room Curator, Bob Cottrell, (and part-time curator at the Jackson Historical Society) will present the library's newest hands-on outreach program about "simple machines" to help explain and interpret the mechanics of the moving operation and to compare tools and techniques of the past and the present.  This new...

Bridging the Span between Art, History, Nature and Farming

Image
The Conway Public Library has reunited four paintings of local covered bridges for the first time in ten years.  Each of the paintings depicts a local historic bridge during a different season: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.  For a driving tour to visit the site of each of the four bridges follow this link  here .  Three of the paintings are on loan courtesy of Sut and Margaret Marshall and one is on loan from Kennett High School. The Summer painting was presented to Kennett High School on July 25, 2015 from the Kennett High School Alumni Association, Class of 1965, as part of their 50th reunion. The bridges were painted by Conway artist Ernest O. Brown in 1970-71 for the now closed White Mountain National Bank in North Conway.  They were originally displayed on the walls of the branch bank in Conway and later at the main office in North Conway. After the bank changed owners the four paintings were lost until 2015 when Charles Kilgore of Nashua NH acqui...
