Free Family Program: Giant Steps Across New Hampshire

Have you ever wanted to travel from Peterborough to Pittsburg, from Portsmouth to Plymouth, all in one afternoon? Drop in to the New Hampshire Historical Society for games and activities using the Giant Map of New Hampshire. Kids will play with this room-sized map to explore the regions, resources, and history of the state we all love. No shoes on the map, so please be sure to wear socks! Geared for kids ages 7 to 11, but all ages are welcome. Registration is not required. All children must be accompanied by an adult. This is a free program thanks to the generosity of Concord Pediatric Dentistry.

Mask Policy:

Masks fully covering the mouth and nose are to be worn by all visitors and staff in public spaces at the New Hampshire Historical Society. While recent progress with vaccinations is very encouraging, no one can tell who is and who isn’t vaccinated. Our priority is to have a policy that promotes the health and safety of everyone— visitors and staff—at the Society. The Society welcomes families with young children, and we know that only a very small percentage of children under 18 have been vaccinated. We also welcome all adults, including those who may not be able to be vaccinated due to a compromised immune system. In order to accommodate all individuals, young or older, we will continue to adhere to our existing mask policy until further notice.

Accessibility:

The New Hampshire Historical Society’s building, including the rotunda, exhibition gallery, auditorium, reading room, and restrooms are wheelchair accessible. Accessible parking is located behind the building in the Society’s lot (entrance off North State Street), and the building’s rear entrance is wheelchair accessible via a ramp from the parking lot.
