New Castle, NH Historical Society

Watch for our upcoming 2020 progams

2020 will be an interesting year for the society. It will include programs on New Hampshire stone walls, the local fishing industry, New Castle Forts, and winter at the Isles of shoals. Students at our local school always present a wonderful program celebrating some aspect of New Castle history.

Calendar will come Feb.

Welcome to the New Castle Historical Society’s website. Here you will learn about the history of New Hampshire's oldest island village, New Castle--also known as Great Island. Our online catalog allows you to access our rich history through historical documents and photos. Check out our vibrant schedule of lectures and exhibits. Research the forts and lighthouses that compose our harbor defense system. Come to the museum and enjoy hands-on experiences in volunteer opportunities with artifacts and documents dating back to the 1600s. We are also the first stop on the newly created New Castle walking tour. Maps are available at the museum.
