Our 1st summer program - Thursday, June 25 at 6 PM

Rebbeca Rule

Stories speak to us of community. They hold our history and reflect our identity. Rebecca Rule has made it her mission over the last 20 years to collect stories of NH, especially those that reflect what's special about this rocky old place. She'll tell some of those stories – her favorites are the funny ones – and invite audience members to contribute a few stories of their own.

Rebecca Rule hosts Our Hometown on NHPBS. Each program features a different New Hampshire town, its stories about what makes their town special, told by its citizens. She’s been telling stories in New England, especially New Hampshire, for many years.

She hasn’t visited every town in the Granite State, but has found her way to most of them — speaking at libraries, schools, historical societies, church groups, and charitable organizations.

She likes collecting stories because “they’re free and you don’t have to dust them.” Our stories are our identity. They hold our history, our culture, our heart. Her books include N is for New Hampshire, an ABC book with photographs by Scott Snyder; The Iciest Diciest Scariest Sled Ride Ever!, a picture book illustrated by Jennifer Thermes; Headin’ for the Rhubarb, A NH Dictionary (well, kinda); and That Reminds Me of a Funny Story. Her new book, NH Trivia, was published in 2024.

Please note that this program will be held at 6 PM at the State of NH Forests and Lands building on Route 3 (629 Main Street, Lancaster, NH).
