Brewing in New Hampshire: An Informal History of Beer in the Granite State
2025-03-13 18:30 - 19:30 (America/New_York) | Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm, 58 Cleveland Hill Rd, Tamworth, NH, 03886, United States
Cheers! to brewing in New Hampshire from colonial times to the present.
Presenter Glenn Knoblock explores the fascinating history of New Hampshire’s beer and ale brewing industry from Colonial days, when it was home- and tavern-based, to today’s modern breweries and brew pubs. Unusual and rare photos and advertisements document this changing industry and the state’s earliest brewers, including the renowned Frank Jones. A number of lesser-known brewers and breweries that operated in the state are also discussed, including the only brewery owned and operated by a woman before the modern era.
Illustrations present evidence of society’s changing attitudes towards beer and alcohol consumption over the years. Whether you’re a beer connoisseur or a “tea-totaler,” this lecture will be enjoyed by adults of all ages.
Free and open to the public.
Light refreshments served.
This program is part of our Winter at the Farmstead schedule.

PRESENTER: Glenn A. Knoblock is an independent scholar and author of over twenty books. Knoblock has served as the main military contributor to Harvard and Oxford University’s landmark African American National Biography, and he has also written for the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History.

The Mammoth Road: New Hampshire Folk Tales as An Avenue to Local History and Culture
2025-04-26 13:00 - 14:00 | Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm, 58 Cleveland Hill Rd, Tamworth, NH, 03886, United States
New Hampshire can tell you a story or two!
Folk tales are passed from one generation to another, embellished by time and teller: “Ethan Crawford was as tall as Mount Washington. He could carry at least seven men on his back!” Yet, when we look at folk tales, the people who compiled them and the location from which they spring, we can access history in a new and entertaining way.
Join us to hear and explore folk tales collected by the New Hampshire Women’s Federation (1932) and dig into local resources in search of truths. Was it tall tale or town history?

Free and open to the public.
Light refreshments served.
This program is part of our Spring at the Farmstead schedule.

Pontine Theatre: A White Heron & The Star Splitter
2025-05-15 18:30 - 19:30 | Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm, 58 Cleveland Hill Rd, Tamworth, NH, 03886, United States
SPECIAL EVENT
City theater in rural Tamworth — don’t miss this unique event! We are pleased to welcome Portsmouth’s Pontine Theatre to Tamworth, with their original and mesmerizing “toy theater” adaptations of A White Heron by Sarah Orne Jewett and Robert Frost’s poem The Star Splitter.

SOJOURNER STORIES: NEW ENGLANDERS IN NATURE
Sarah Orne Jewett’s A White Heron, published in 1886
A coming-of-age story about a young city girl, Sylvia, who comes to live with her grandmother in the country. She meets a young ornithologist who is hunting a rare bird he recently spotted in the area. Sylvia wants to please the young man by revealing the heron’s location, yet doesn’t want him to take its life. In the end, she embraces her passion for country life and the natural world around her.
This is Pontine’s fifth staging of Sarah Orne Jewett’s stories. Born in 1849 in South Berwick, Maine, Jewett was the daughter of the town doctor. As a child, she often accompanied him on his rounds to rural farms in the area. She would sit and listen to family members talking together while waiting for her father. She came to love the wit and wisdom of these country folks and they became the subject of her writings as an adult.

Robert Frost’s The Star Splitter, published in 1923
Published in 1923, this poem explores the conflict between societal expectations and individual passions. A farmer’s reckless pursuit of a telescope leads to the loss of his farm and home. This loss initially evokes ridicule from the townspeople. However, their subsequent contemplation reveals the importance of forgiveness and understanding. Frost uses the image of a telescope, “a star-splitter,” as a symbol of the farmer’s “life-long curiosity about our place among the infinities.”
Historical note: Jewett (1849–1909) and Frost (1874–1963) were writing, published, and widely appreciated within the lifetimes of our namesake country doctors, the Drs. Remick.

“…art has the capacity to reach us on multiple levels at the same time. It’s much more than an intellectual experience, it’s also an emotional experience, can be a spiritual experience, can even be a physical experience. And there are very few times in life when all those aspects of our nature are brought together in the same place and we’re made aware of it. And I think it makes for a very deep bonding experience between actors and audience and between audience members. The fact that that performance happens only in that moment with everybody’s cooperation — it’s priceless. It’s absolutely priceless.” ~ Greg Gathers, Co-Artistic Director of Pontine Theatre
“Pontine Theatre is a small miracle. The theater has used puppets, mime and stagecraft to convey visions of the past to modern audiences for more than 35 years. Artistic Directors Marguerite Mathews and Greg Gathers conspire to fascinate the contemporary mind with original works based on the stories and literature of New England. There’s really nothing else like it anywhere.” ~ NH Magazine

ABOUT PONTINE THEATRE
From the Theatre’s website
“Since 1977, Pontine Theatre has been an active participant in the development of actor-based theatre, creating work that is engaging, innovative and original. Co-Artistic Directors, Marguerite Mathews and Gregory Gathers have produced over fifty original works. Creating and performing these works, Pontine has introduced their unique form of theatre to audiences throughout New England, transforming audience interest in gestural theatre, puppetry, toy theatre and storytelling into enthusiasm for this distinctive synthesis of forms.
“In choosing projects for our at-home performance series and subsequent tours, we endeavor to reflect the interests of the audiences we serve. We are fortunate to live and work in a region with a particularly rich history and a citizenry deeply interested in this legacy. As other cultural organizations work to preserve historic landmarks and significant architecture, we have dedicated many of our performances to celebrating classic works of New England literature: some well-known, others obscure gems. We also create works based on original research that explore various aspects of New England culture and history.
“…Our intimately-scaled chamber productions are an ideal fit for the small-town audiences…. The intimate scale of our productions reflects an aesthetic choice to magnify the theatrical power and artistic integrity of our work through concentrated attention to the details of each element comprising the whole.”

+ Watch a toy theatre demonstration — a small-scale, paper-only version of Pontine Theatre’s large, 3-D staging (designed and crafted by the theatre’s co-artistic director Gregory Gathers).
+ Listen to The Rise and Fall of Toy Theatre, a fun podcast episode from Craftsman Magazine. See the modern-day version of Pollock’s Toy Store, mentioned in the podcast, which sells modern versions of the original-style toy theatres.

DATE CHANGE!
Summer is all but over, and it’s time to take stock of your pantry. Storing food for the coming winter is our focus in this class as we consider the various options available to us. Refrigeration and freezing are relatively easy approaches as we rush to harvest our gardens before the first frost hits. We’ll also look at long-term solutions such as drying, canning, and pickling as we discuss the science of food preservation and what might work best for you and your family. Let’s prepare together and create some resiliency against weather and other challenges to food security.
This program takes place indoors and outdoors and includes hands-on activity in the Remick gardens.

Remick (1866-1993) to uncover a spine-chilling blend of grim monster tales and horror, revealed through the microscope of medical history.

From Landscape to Foodscape: Cooking from Your Pantry
2025-10-18 10:30 - 12:00 | Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm, 58 Cleveland Hill Rd, Tamworth, NH, 03886, United States
CANCELLED
The crisp days and cool evenings of fall are upon us as we take stock and plan for the winter ahead. The seasonal unpredictability of winter travel means a well-stocked pantry is your friend when it comes to meal planning and nutrition. As we close out our Foodscape program series, we’ll reflect on the previous sessions and think creatively about cooking from a pantry – both as a means of stretching financial resources and eliminating the need to head to the store on a snowy day. During this workshop we will review basic pantry contents and sample some easily prepared recipes.
This program takes place indoors and outdoors and includes hands-on activity in the Remick gardens.
Workshop leader: TBA

FREE for members | $5 suggested donation for nonmembers

Each October, the Tamworth Outing Club (TOC) hosts Halloween celebrations in Tamworth Village, offering FREE activities for all ages. The festivities begin with a community pumpkin carving event (before Halloween) on the lawn of the Tamworth History Center, featuring pumpkins donated by local farms and businesses. Participants transform pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns, which are later displayed along Main Street.
On Halloween night, the pre-carved jack-o-lanterns are lit to illuminate the path for trick-or-treaters visiting welcoming homes and businesses. The evening also features the spine-chilling “Olde MacDonald’s Terror Barn” for thrill-seekers.

“A New England Christmas” presented by Pontine Theatre
2025-12-18 18:30 - 19:30 | Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm, 58 Cleveland Hill Rd, Tamworth, NH, 03886, United States
Don’t miss this special holiday event! We are pleased to welcome back Portsmouth’s Pontine Theatre to Tamworth, with two holiday stories featuring the essence of Christmas in New England.
A NEW ENGLAND CHRISTMAS 2025
For this year’s holiday program, Pontine performs two treasured seasonal tales: A Speakin’ Ghost and Christmas Back Home. Both stories are by wonderful regional authors long gone and largely forgotten by contemporary audiences.
+ A Speakin’ Ghost, written by Annie Trumbull Slosson (1838–1926), features a woman born and raised in Rye, New Hampshire. Many years after leaving her childhood home near the ocean to work as a household servant, she finds herself living an isolated life providing care to an elderly man. She spends most of her time alone in her room, reliving memories of years gone by. From these musings arises a ghost-like figure, a young boy who begins making regular visits to this lonely soul.
Annie Trunbull Slosson published over 15 collections of short stories between 1878 and 1912 and was a frequent contributor to the Atlantic and Harper’s. Her first book, “The China Hunter’s Club” (1878), a collection of dialect stories situated in her native Stonington, Connecticut and the Franconia Notch area of New Hampshire, was considered, along with Sarah Orne Jewett’s Deephaven (1877) and Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Pogonuc People (1878), to be one of the first identifiable examples of the regional or “local color” genre.
+ Christmas Back Home, a story by Eugene Wood (1860–1923), features a delightful cast of characters who inhabit a small, rural town. The piece evokes the childhood magic and suspense of Christmas as the special day approaches. The enchantment of preparing gifts to both give and receive enlivens this simple, heartfelt musing about the most magical day of the year.
Eugene Wood wrote stories describing the lives of rural folks whom he had known in the small towns where he lived. His three best-known books are fittingly titled “Back Home,” “Folks Back Home,” and “Our Town.” His career began with newspaper work as a reporter on The Cleveland Herald. He was also a regular contributor to principal magazines.

Scene from the “toy theatre” production of Christmas Back Home, original artwork created by Greg Gathers of Pontine Theatre. Watch the video below to see Pontine Theatre’s toy theatre in use, along with other theatrical stylings.
Pontine’s Co-Artistic Directors and performers, Marguerite Mathews and Greg Gathers, have developed a special fondness for searching out rich, historical literary gems and bringing them to life for audiences throughout the region. Pontine’s shows often feature antique stage techniques, including rolling panoramas, puppetry, and toy theatre figures to bring stories alive onstage. Mr. Gathers creates all the props and sets used in the theatre’s productions.
This event would make a delightful pre-Christmas gift!

$10 | $5 for members
Space is limited, preregistration is required.
Suitable for ages 14 and above; interested and patient attendees under age 14 are welcome.
The program is approximately 60 minutes long.
Following the performance, enjoy a gingerbread cookie (or two), view the theatre staging and props, and interact with the artists.

ABOUT PONTINE THEATRE

“Pontine Theatre is a small miracle. The theater has used puppets, mime and stagecraft to convey visions of the past to modern audiences for more than 35 years. Artistic Directors Marguerite Mathews and Greg Gathers conspire to fascinate the contemporary mind with original works based on the stories and literature of New England. There’s really nothing else like it anywhere.” ~ NH Magazine
“Since 1977, Pontine Theatre has been an active participant in the development of actor-based theatre, creating work that is engaging, innovative and original. Co-Artistic Directors, Marguerite Mathews and Gregory Gathers have produced over fifty original works. Creating and performing these works, Pontine has introduced their unique form of theatre to audiences throughout New England, transforming audience interest in gestural theatre, puppetry, toy theatre and storytelling into enthusiasm for this distinctive synthesis of forms.
“In choosing projects for our at-home performance series and subsequent tours, we endeavor to reflect the interests of the audiences we serve. We are fortunate to live and work in a region with a particularly rich history and a citizenry deeply interested in this legacy. As other cultural organizations work to preserve historic landmarks and significant architecture, we have dedicated many of our performances to celebrating classic works of New England literature: some well-known, others obscure gems. We also create works based on original research that explore various aspects of New England culture and history.
“…Our intimately-scaled chamber productions are an ideal fit for the small-town audiences…. The intimate scale of our productions reflects an aesthetic choice to magnify the theatrical power and artistic integrity of our work through concentrated attention to the details of each element comprising the whole.”
“…art has the capacity to reach us on multiple levels at the same time. It’s much more than an intellectual experience, it’s also an emotional experience, can be a spiritual experience, can even be a physical experience. And there are very few times in life when all those aspects of our nature are brought together in the same place and we’re made aware of it. And I think it makes for a very deep bonding experience between actors and audience and between audience members. The fact that that performance happens only in that moment with everybody’s cooperation — it’s priceless. It’s absolutely priceless.” ~ Greg Gathers, Co-Artistic Director of Pontine Theatre

New Hampshire Maple Weekend is an annual event organized by the New Hampshire Maple Producers Association. For one weekend in March, sugarhouses across the state open to the public to celebrate maple sugaring, educate visitors about turning sap into syrup, share their sugaring process and sell their products. This year’s event takes place Saturday, March 21, and Sunday, March 22 (times vary by sugarhouse).
Please note: Sugaring season depends on the weather. Sufficient snow, and a combination of warm days and cold (but not frigid) nights — ideally, daytime temperatures in the 40s and in the low 20s at night — are required. We expect to be tapping trees in 2026, and enough sap will flow in time to be collected for boiling on NH Maple Weekend. Watch the weather and stay tuned!
