Sixty years ago, the Town of Salisbury deeded the Baptist Meeting House and Hearse House to the Salisbury Historical Society. The Meeting House is now the society’s headquarters and exhibition space. Not long after, a group of dedicated volunteers began restoring the town’s Hearse House, which stored the town’s horse-drawn hearse. Their hard work paved the way for today’s Hearse House Museum, which now showcases a fascinating collection of historical artifacts and exhibits, including a recreated country store and the Salisbury Post Office.
Today, the Meeting House and the Hearse House are listed on the New Hampshire Register of Historic Places, recognizing their significance in preserving Salisbury’s heritage.
