AMERICA 250 - MARLOW, NEW HAMPSHIRE

Celebrating the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, 
Marlow history, and its role in the Revolutionary War

Thank You, Marlow!

The Marlow Historical Society extends its heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended and supported the America250 – Marlow, NH celebration over the weekend of June 6 and 7, 2026.

Our village was filled with the spirit of an old-fashioned Old Home Day with families gathering across generations, former residents returning to their hometown, descendants reconnecting with their roots, and visitors sharing in the rich history of our community.

When the Historical Society agreed to host this celebration, our goal was not simply to commemorate an anniversary. We wanted to bring history to the community in an engaging and meaningful way. Through living history demonstrations, military reenactments, historical presentations, music, and a community gathering, we sought to connect the current day with the people and events that shaped Marlow and our nation.

History truly came alive as visitors encountered Revolutionary and Civil War soldiers, listened to stories of local Patriots and Loyalists, and met President Calvin Coolidge, General John Stark, Dr. Moses Carr, and Abigail Adams.

We offer special thanks to the Sons of the American Revolution, the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, the Infantry of the Foot, the 1st New Hampshire Regiment, our presenters, performers, sponsors, volunteers, and community partners. Your dedication and enthusiasm helped create a memorable experience for all who attended.

Most importantly, thank you to the community. Your participation reminded us that history is not just about dates and events. It is about people, families, traditions, and the stories that connect us across generations.

As America continues its 250th anniversary year, the Marlow Historical Society looks forward to continuing the journey by sharing monthly stories about 1776, New Hampshire's role in the Revolution, and Marlow's place in our nation's founding.

You will also have another opportunity to see the Marlow Jones Hall float in Keene for the Monadnock 250 parade on July 4.   

Thank you again for helping make this celebration such a success. Together, we honored the past, celebrated the present, and continued Lighting the Road to Independence.
