Tamworth, NH USA
Our flowering old apple tree on our front lawn. We are observing late lawn mowing to support the pollinators. We hope to work on a lawn improvement plan to continue to support our role as offering a village green space.
Chinook
Last spring Tamworth sculptor Andrea Kennett made 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.
THC is having a life-size bronze made, to adorn our front lawn!
We can’t wait to have Chinook in Tamworth and work on the statue has begun at the foundry! Funds are still needed for the statue site.

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.
