Tamworth, NH USA
The Chinook Statue is Unveiled! See the Conway Daily Sun article here. Thank you to all involved, a great day.
OUR MISSION & VALUES
The Tamworth History Center’s mission is to preserve, protect, and promote an awareness of the richness and uniqueness of Tamworth’s history. We accomplish these things in many ways, including maintaining an extensive collection of town artifacts and treasures, annual exhibits, programs and workshops, and social events and storytelling.
Chinook
Last spring Tamworth sculptor Andrea Kennett made a small sculpture of a wonderful likeness of Chinook, Tamworth’s famous canine hero (1917-1929). With owner/ breeder Arthur Walden, Chinook led teams across Wonalancet, New England, then Antarctica. In 2010 the Chinook breed became NH’s State Dog. Sculptor Peter Dransfeld in Portland Maine has turned Andrea’s vision into a full sized bronze statue that is now on our lawn!

Our Second Floor Renovation Complete!
We have renovated the final three rooms on the second floor, to provide more exhibit, storage, research and work space. We are so excited to be at this point after years of work by so many tradespeople, volunteers and donors.
