Rochester NH History Podcast: Forgotten Businesses of Yesteryear

Published on

Rochester has seen many businesses come and go over the years. Some were lost to events like the Great Depression, while others simply faded as the world moved on. After all, there’s not much demand for blacksmiths or horse stables these days. In this episode, we’ll take a nostalgic look back at the shops and services your grandparents or great-grandparents might have known well. We hope you enjoy this journey through the forgotten businesses of yesteryear.

The Rochester Historical Society and Museum is located on Hanson Street. Visit www.rochesternh.gov/history for hours of operation, events, contact information, and to learn more about programming.
