Lempster’s Meetinghouse is a special and irreplaceable connection to our community’s past. And beyond our town, it is also one of a diminishing number of tangible connections to New Hampshire, New England, and America’s history. This building is real – it is equally our community’s inheritance and our gift to the future – and it needs your continuing support.

Yes!
Now!

The Friends of the Lempster Meetinghouse (FLMH) – a non-profit, 501(c)(3) group whose mission is to conserve, restore, and rehabilitate the Lempster Meetinghouse – formed in 2006 and received a $75,000 New Hampshire Land and Community Heritage Investment Program (LCHIP) grant for emergency stabilization of the Meetinghouse – "Phase One", completed summer 2009, replaced the building's sinking dry stone foundation, strengthening and stabilizing the first floor and structure, and set the stage for future work.

"Phase Two" – now partly completed – focuses on usability, and includes a well, septic, INDOOR RESTROOM (!), fire protection, and accessibility improvements.


Visionary Project: A special restoration project, initiated parallel to Phase Two, involves restoring the Meetinghouse's 45 double-hung windows. Your donation of $1,000 to this project, augmented nearly 50% by FLMH and other matching funds, allows the professional restoration of one of these truly limited-edition windows. A donor plaque will be mounted below each window you financially help us to restore. Seven windows already had sponsors by Old Home Day, and the first three windows will be restored by mid-October, 2012!

Help shine a light! Continuing restoration requires your continuing support!

Your tax-deductable financial contribution helps make a full restoration possible. All gifts directly support work on the Meetinghouse. Please support this important community project!
