Our Local History Collection is illustrated by Tamworth’s bicentennial quilt, stitched thirty years ago by many loving hands. We are constantly receiving donations of books, papers and artifacts about Tamworth’s history, and not everything has yet been catalogued. Please leave a comment if there is something specific you are looking for.

Is Tuesday afternoon the only time the history/genealogy collection is available?
I live in Boston and would like to do some family research to confirm the information that follows:
My grandfather Noah Rogers lived in Tamworth around 1790 to 1826 and I believe is buried there. He was born in Petersham MA and a private in the Revolutionary War. He married Hannah C Whitney and had at least three sons.
Thank you for your help.
Mr. Rogers gave me permission to post his query as an example to others.
Dear Mr. Rogers,
I’ve found an unusual amount of information pertaining to your ancestor, Noah Rogers. I’m sending you some excerpts, but there is more.
Noah Rogers , born October 23, 1761 in Petersham, MA, died 1826 in Tamworth. “Lived on Great Hill, Tamworth in one of the Marston houses, neighbor to Thomas Watson. He died in 1826 (age 65) and is buried in the town cemetery.”
Hannah C. Whitney, born August 6, 1768 in Gorham, ME, married November 12, 1785 in Gorham, ME, died in Bath, ME 1861, age 93 or 4, living with her son, William. Noah and Hannah had 14 children.
I’m sending 14 pages but there’s more you should come up and see, I think. I’ve found some fascinating anecdotal information about Hannah. It makes very interesting reading, even for a non-relative!
Sincerely,
Jay
I am delighted to learn that the Tamworth Library has interesting material about my ancestor Noah Rogers (b. 6 Aug 1768) (and that I have a relative Steve Rogers of Boston also interested in family history). Noah is my great-great-great grandfather, I believe, via his son Artemas Henry Rogers.
Please let me know how I might learn more of the Rogers of Tamworth and share such other information as I have which might be of interest.
Thanks!

PS…My link to Noah Rogers was only discovered via my DNA!
Hi, I’ll be there on Wed. July 9th to research Chocorua History–looking for evidence of influence on the landscape by founding summer residents such as Mary Hucheson Page, Frank Bolles, Florence Luscomb, William James, etc. Also have worked on Helen Albee–article was published in the NHHS quarterly, this article will be, too, titled “The Rusticators”. Feel free to email me in advance. I am coming a long way–from Lubbock, Texas! Thanks, Cynthia
