The Strafford Historical Society is currently planning our town's 200th anniversary week of activities for August 2021. We are looking for volunteers to help out with all aspects of planning, so if you would like to help, please get in touch or attend a planning committee meeting. It should be a very fun week for all Strafford residents.
You can help support activities by purchasing a commemorative item (ornament, t-shirt or hat), placing an ad in our program book, or you can make a donation online in any amount at the Strafford Historical Society website. We appreciate your support and all proceeds will go towards making our 200th celebration a great week of events and activities for everyone!
