April 9th, 6:30 pm at the Auburn Historical Association's meeting room (back of building), 102 Hooksett Road.
​Speaker Stephen Taylor will present: "New Hampshire's One-Room Rural Schools: The Romance and the Reality"

Hundreds of one-room schools dotted the landscape of New Hampshire a century ago and were the backbone of primary education for generations of children. Revered in literature and lore, they actually were beset with problems, some of which are little changed today. The greatest issue was financing the local school and the vast differences between taxing districts in ability to support education. Other concerns included teacher preparation and quality, curriculum, discipline, student achievement and community involvement in the educational process. Steve Taylor explores the lasting legacies of the one-room school and how they echo today.

Big Watch Film Screening & Discussion. Wednesday, July 29th from 6 -8 pm at the Auburn Historical Association's meeting room (back of building), 102 Hooksett Road. 

Join us to commemorate and reflect upon the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of
Independence with a film screening and discussion! Together, we’ll watch a short excerpt from THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, a new film directed by Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt, followed by a community discussion. The featured segment from THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, “The Spirit of Service,” explores service as a core American value, from the nation’s founding through to the present day – examining volunteerism, civic participation, public leadership, and more.

Expert facilitators will guide thoughtful conversations about “remembering together,”
considering questions such as:
•What moments from our past define who we are and point to a shared future?
•What are the key historical moments in your town’s or community’s history?
•How does focusing on these moments shape your sense of your community’s future?
This event is made possible by the New Hampshire Humanities, in partnership with NHPBS, with additional support provided by Cogswell Benevolent Trust.  
By the People: Conversations Beyond 250 is a series of community driven programs created by humanities councils in collaboration with local partners. The initiative was developed by the Federation of State Humanities Councils and the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage.

September 12th from 10 am to 3 pm.
