The site where New London NH stands today was one of the original Royal Grants that King George II…read moregranted to settlers from Portsmouth and the area was initially called Heidelberg in honor of the monarch's Prussian possessions. However, in 1779, settlers banned together, incorporating several more large parcels and changed the name to New London to honor the British capital city. Throughout the years, the town has been preserved as a gem in New England through the altruism and generosity of many of the founding families as well as a concerted effort of many of its residents. The New London Historical Society was founded in 1954, during the 175th anniversary of the town. In the following two decades, several landowners donated adjoining tracts of land to eventually build the compound that is now an integral part of the society. There are sixteen buildings now in the compound, most of them dating to the initial decades of the founding of the United States and which have been meticulously moved to the historical compound, forming its own historical village. The society has also built a transportation museum with a collection of transport vehicles from early days, including a Concord Coach used extensively in the New England routes. The dedication of the staff and patrons of the Historical Society allowed it to be named by the State of New Hampshire as one of the ten societies forming a state-wide history network. Best time to come is in late Fall, as the New England foliage season lends an additional dose of natural beauty to this jewel of a facility. However, it is always a good side trip from anywhere in town. As well, it is available for special functions and weddings. Charm, history and beauty.
