The Upstairs Downtown Walking Tour group will meet on Sept. 15 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. for a tour of downtown Concord. The tour covers five historic destinations and exclusive vantage points of downtown and the NH State House. This year’s tour combines fan-favorite locations from 2019 and new stops to behold and explore: the Sheraton Building and the Eagle Hotel, the Concord Public Library, the SMILE Building, and two locations that are to be determined. There will be a reception to follow with drinks and appetizers at The Hotel Concord. Tickets are $40 per person which include appetizers and a guided tour. Proceeds for this event go to Intown Concord’s Facade Grant Program. This is a physically demanding tour with vast amounts of walking and climbing. Please dress appropriately in proper footwear: no open-toed shoes, heels, or sandals.
The NE Quilts program, “New England Quilts and the Stories They Tell,” has been rescheduled for Aug. 16, at 7 p.m. at the Mill in Belmont. The program is sponsored by the Belmont Historical Society and NH Humanities.
