About the
Marlow Historical Society

The mission of the society is to illuminate and preserve Marlow history.

The Marlow NH Historical Society was established on May 18, 1976. Its first officers were Allan W. Plumb, Margery G. Davis, Audrey M. Benson , Marguerite A Rhoades, and Beatrice E. Andrews.

We own two historic structures: Murray Hall (formerly the Excelsior Grange) on Forest Road, and the Hearse House on Church Street. Our board meets on the second Tuesday of the month at 6:30pm at Murray Hall during the warm months and in the Marlow Library in the cold months. Meetings are open to the public.

We publish three newsletters a year: Winter, Spring/Summer and Fall. It is distributed to our members and is posted to this website. Copies are also available at the town library and town office.

The Marlow NH Historical Society, Inc. is registered as a non-profit 501c Corporation with the State of New Hampshire, and as a Charitable Trust with the NH State Attorney General's Office.

We opened our new museum in Murray Hall in 2018 after its restoration. It is open May through October, or by appointment.

Marlow Historical Society Founders

In our Fall 2018 newsletter we featured articles about the Historical Society founders, those pioneering men and women who banded together to begin the ongoing journey to uncover and promote Marlow's wonderful history. Contributed by a collection of writers, we hope you will enjoy this look at those whose legacy we still honor today!
