Celebrating Winchester's Musical Heritage & Community Innovation!
We would love your help! Contact US to sign up as a volunteer OR to offer any other types of support as we make a huge impact to this community through our collective creativity! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Prior project events: Whatever Happened to Yankee Ingenuity? This multi-media presentation by Historical Society of Cheshire County Director Alan Rumrill and music historians Allison & Hunt Smith explores Winchester’s legacy of manufacturing innovation through the lens of its unique musical and industrial heritage. Their fascinating presentation in Keene at the HSCC (246 Main St.) is the perfect prelude to the Jubilee on the 20th. see the event details here ~~~~~ Crosswalk Painting/Cleanup ~ Sunday, July 24th see the event on Facebook here ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The goal of this project is to encourage and inspire community and economic development in Winchester. Drawing on our town’s history as the seat of innovative and successful musical instrument manufacturing, we are doing this through a participatory, music-themed crosswalk-painting project in the center of town and this day-long festival featuring not only music but speakers and discussions exploring the dynamic process of innovation in our community then and now. A project of Friends of Public Art, support for speakers, video coverage, promotional and educational materials for the event was generously provided by New Hampshire Humanities, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Humanities.
