Why does Lebanon’s official logo feature a water wheel? Come find out at a special presentation, The Water Powered Mills of Lebanon, presented by Matthew Labbe, MA. of Monadnock Archaeological Consulting, LLC. Through Mr. Labbe’s dedicated sleuthing and wiping the dust from innumerable archives from the 1800s-early 1900s, you’ll get a never-told-before peek into Lebanon’s past. Hear stories about the businesses surrounding mills and their proprietors—some of whom might even be your ancestors!
The presentation, titled "From Farming Roots to a Factory Foundation & Preservation Future: The Water Powered Mills of Lebanon", will take place on Monday, June 4, 2018 from 4:00pm to 6:00pm in the Dwinell Room at Harvest Hill, 23 Alice Peck Day Drive, Lebanon, NH (view map). The introduction will be given by the New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources. Food and refreshments will be provided.
