A message from the Rochester Historical Society and Museum:

A reminder notification has been sent to the membership of the Rochester Historical Society concerning the upcoming speaking event we have planned. This event is open to the public, and we look forward to having you there. We always welcome your decision to become a member at any time.

We are fortunate to have Mrs. Peggy Cameron-Boyle as a guest speaker. She will deliver a presentation on how area residents managed to hold American family life together during World War II. The event will begin at 6:00 p.m. sharp at our museum on Hanson Street.

Mrs. Cameron-Boyle is a retired early childhood teacher, a career she enjoyed for 33 years. She has done volunteer work at the New Hampshire Farm Museum. In addition, she has developed an extensive knowledge of artifacts from the 1940s and 1950s related to children. Her presentation highlights, in particular, the challenges mothers and young children experienced during the war years, with special emphasis on viewpoints involving the young. She has also interviewed survivors from the war era, which should prove extremely interesting.

Please join us for this interesting presentation at 6:00 p.m. sharp on April 9, 2026.
