The Rollinsford Historical Committee
presents
A GUIDED HISTORY HIKE
OF SALMON FALLS VILLAGE
Sunday, April 22 at 2:00 pm
Come hear the story behind downtown Rollinsford, one of the best preserved mill villages in all of New England, as we take a walking tour of Historic Salmon Falls Village. You’ll never look at Rollinsford the same again! All ages are welcome.
The tour will take approximately 1 1/2 hours.
We will meet at:
The Gazebo at
Bicentennial Park
The event is free; donations are gratefully accepted!
The tour will be led by architectural historian Peter Michaud and is free and open to the public. The tour will start at the gazebo in Bicentennial Park located off of Front Street and adjacent to the Salmon Falls River. Parking in the park is limited and participants are encouraged to park on nearby Front Street. Participants should dress for the weather and wear shoes appropriate for walking. For more information, please call (603) 559-0284 or email [email protected].
Better-known today for its successful artist and craftsman studios, Salmon Falls village is well-known to the local preservation community as an integral model of a Boston-owned factory town. The tour will weave through one of the most intact 19th century mill villages in New England. Participants will visit the village of the Salmon Falls Manufacturing Company and explore its mill yard, related workers housing, and its religious and commercial buildings. The tour will explore the history and development of the village, how the mills functioned, and the communities of immigrants employed by the company.
Peter Michaud is an architectural historian at the New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources. He is the vice president of the New England chapter of the Vernacular Architectural Forum and serves on Strawbery Banke Museum’s National Council. He serves on the board of the Players’ Ring Theatre, is a founding board member of the Piscataqua Decorative Arts Society, and is the secretary for Portsmouth Advocates.
Fashionable Folks at the Wentworth House
From the corsets and crinolines of the Victorian age to the streamlined styles of the Roaring Twenties, women’s fashions were dramatically transformed. “Fashionable Folks: What New Englanders Wore,” a new exhibit at Rollinsford’s historic Colonel Paul Wentworth House, tracks the many changes in taking place in women’s clothing over the course of a century.
Featuring over 40 garments dating from the 1830s through the 1920s, the exhibit is open for visitors from 1 to 4 pm on Sundays until mid-October. Guided tours of the house are also available. Admission is by donation ($5 is suggested), and is free for ARCH members and children under 16.
Maintained by the Association for Rollinsford Culture and History (ARCH), the circa 1701 Wentworth House is located on Water Street in Rollinsford, NH and hosts living history events, exhibits, and school and youth programs. For more information about this and other events at the Wentworth House, consult the ARCH website at paulwentworthhouse.org or on Facebook at The Colonel Paul Wentworth House.

The Somersworth/ Rollinsford Share Fund is looking for volunteers to sit on the Share Fund Board. They are a non-profit that helps people in need. The board members meet 4 times a year. They would like a Representative from Rollinsford.

Rollinsford Hydroelectric Project
On behalf of the Town of Rollinsford, New Hampshire, Consolidated Hydro New Hampshire, LLC (CHNH) is preparing to relicense the Rollinsford Hydroelectric Project (Project) with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission). CHNH, a subsidiary of Enel Green Power North America (EGPNA), operates and manages the Project under a lease agreement with the Town of Rollinsford. The Project (FERC No. 3777) is located on the Salmon Falls River, which establishes the border between the States of New Hampshire (NH) and Maine (ME), in Strafford County, NH and York County, ME. The FERC license expires on August 31, 2021.
In accordance with the Commission’s regulations, on August 31, 2016, the Town of Rollinsford commenced the relicensing process by filing its Notice of Intent (NOI) to file an application for license and Pre- Application Document (PAD) for the Project. Also, pursuant to the Commission’s regulations, the Town of Rollinsford requested the Commission’s approval to use the Traditional Licensing Process (TLP) for this Project.
The purpose of this email is to distribute copies of those documents to potentially interested federal and state resource agencies, Indian tribes, non-governmental organizations, and members of the public. A copy of the NOI, PAD, and TLP request is available for download at the FERC website using the following FERC eLibrary link: http://elibrary.FERC.gov/idmws/file_list.asp?accession_num=20160831-5132.
