The Nashua River: Earliest Times

May 22, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Free

Join the Lancaster Historical Society for a presentation on the Nashua River put on by the Nashua River Watershed Association.

Attendees will learn about the history of the Nashua from earliest  times when used by indigenous peoples, through the days of harnessing the river for mill power with resulting pollution, to successful clean-up efforts, and, the outlook for the river moving onward in the twenty-first century.

The program will take place in the Dexter Room of the Thayer Memorial Library (use rear entrance).  If you live in Lancaster, or in the region, you will not want to miss this one!

A sign denoting the “Meeting of the Waters” (the north and south branches of the Nashua) will be unveiled on the Center Bridge on the nearby road of the same name immediately following.

For more information, call (978) 733-6907.
