Yesterday, I was honored as a historian to be part of three separate ribbon cutting events at Conway historic sites: the Marshall Conservation Area, the Abenaki Encampment and the Redstone Quarry. Along with the soon to be opened Kennett High School covered bridge each of these sites will offer new opportunities for research and education through a new initiative of the Conway Public Library’s Henney History Room.

| Marshall Conservation Area |
Beginning this Fall, we will be offering free history education programs and curriculum support to all area schools and educational groups, such as home schools, boy scouts, girl scouts, etc. The program will involve three main approaches; research at the Henney History Room, outreach programs at the schools and guided field trips to historic sites.

| Abenaki Encampment |
Building on the archival resources at the Henney History Room such as historic photos, deeds, land records and surveys, aerial photos, old maps and business records, activities can include power point programs, web based projects, hands on and interactive displays of artifacts, reproductions, and photographs, trail maps and interpretive signage.
