In Memoriam David Rapalyea Obituary (1947 – 2026) – Salisbury, NH. Our friend David was a local historian, a long-time member of the historical society, a community volunteer, and a treasured Salisbury resident.  He will be greatly missed.  Our sincerest condolences to his wife, Dora, and their family.

We’re excited to share that the Baptist Meeting House at 655 Old Turnpike Road has been officially certified and added to the New Hampshire State Register of Historic Places. This honor not only celebrates the building’s rich history but also creates new opportunities for 50/50 grant match funding. As a nonprofit, the Salisbury Historical Society depends on the dedication of members, donors, and volunteers to protect these treasured landmarks. We’re grateful for the community’s ongoing support and invite you to join us as members, volunteers, and friends.
