School House #6 Committee

The Temple Historical Society, founded in 1941, is a not-for-profit organization under New Hampshire law. Its purpose is to stimulate interest in the history of Temple and to discover, secure, and preserve information and objects relating to that history. Noteworthy projects have included:
  • Archeological digs at the Temple Glass Works and School House #6
  • The publication in 1976 of A History of Temple, NH
  • The purchase (1994) of School House #6 (Temple’s last one-room schoolhouse in its original condition) and its relocation (2001) to the triangular field adjacent to the Town Center.
A new, ongoing project is the creation of a written transcript of the inscriptions on Temple gravestones.

The Society accepts, in the form of gifts or loans, objects and materials that will aid the cultural enrichment of the community. The members (approximately 100 in 2002) meet four times a year:
  • April (annual meeting)
  • June (dinner meeting)
  • August (group excursion to a site of historic/cultural interest)
  • October
Programs include:
  • speakers
  • slide presentations
  • displays
  • discussions
  • cooperative activities with other historical societies and town groups
Visitors are always welcome, and a variety of memberships are available.

For membership and other information, call Carolyn Myrick - 878-3183.
