“Wet Paint Tamworth” at Remick
2026-04-24 09:00 - 16:00 | Tamworth, New Hampshire
Wet Paint Tamworth returns to Remick on Friday, April 24 (times listed are approximate)! This 7th annual painters’ retreat, organized by The Preserve at Chocorua, provides professional artists with a collective and immersive time to paint outdoors, en plein air. This year’s event takes place Thursday, April 23–Saturday, April 25 (daily schedule). Each day of the retreat, the group gathers at various scenic and sought-out locations across Tamworth, including Remick. While on-site, the artists welcome visitors to observe them as they paint and enjoy interacting with interested onlookers. It’s always a special time at the farmstead, and the resulting paintings allow us and visitors to see this historic site through the artists’ perspectives.
As a group, the painters are encouraged to paint at a pre-selected site on a given day. Some choose to paint at Remick on an additional day. Over the course of this annual event, numerous artists have let us know that Remick is their preferred spot to paint during the retreat due to its variety of inspiring subject matter: scenery, architecture, pond, twisting paths, animals, birds, Mt. Chocorua…
Paintings done during the retreat will be on public display in The Hayford Barn at The Preserve, Thursday, April 23–Saturday, April 25. A portion of all sales will benefit the NH Food Bank’s Summer Nutrition Program, which provides food for kids during their summer break. (Remick was pleased to be able to provide a meal boxing space for this program in 2025.)

Cancelled: “The Flat Iron Lot” presented by Pontine Theatre
2026-05-14 18:30 - 19:30 | Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm, 58 Cleveland Hill Rd, Tamworth, NH, 03886, United States
CANCELLED!
Don’t miss this special springtime event! We are pleased to welcome back Portsmouth’s Pontine Theatre to Tamworth, with a timely story about a fictional New Hampshire town as it celebrates its 250th birthday.
The Flat Iron Lot
Experience an original stage adaptation of Alice Brown’s short story “The Flat Iron Lot,” published in 1899. (The elder Dr. Remick was age 33 when this story was published, in his 5th year of practicing medicine.) Set in the fictional town of Tiverton — based on Brown’s hometown of Hampton Falls, NH — the story chronicles a rural New England community’s celebration of its 250th birthday. With fits and starts, contention and compromise, the residents organize historical reenactments, a grand parade, and speeches from civic leaders and the town’s beloved, unofficial historian. In the end, the townspeople enjoy a reinvigorated sense of civic pride and appreciation for the shared heritage that binds them as a community.
The story is an apt microcosm of the ambitions, struggles and ideals of our upcoming national observance of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
LISTEN TO Pontine Theatre discussing this performance with New Hampshire Public Radio’s Rick Ganley on March 11, 2026.
A “Flat Iron Lot” (or flatiron) is a distinctively triangular piece of land created by the intersection of roads at an acute angle. Often called a wedge or point lot, this shape resembles an old-fashioned clothes iron, making it prime, albeit challenging, real estate for unique, angular buildings like New York’s famous Flatiron Building. Source: Google search.

+ Alice Brown (December 5, 1857 – June 21, 1948) was an American novelist, poet and playwright, best known as a writer of local-color stories. Born in Hampton Falls, New Hampshire, Ms. Brown graduated from Robinson Female Seminary in Exeter in 1876. She later worked as a teacher for five years, but moved to Boston to write full-time in 1884. — Bio and photo source: Wikipedia.

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.

$10 | $5 for members*
Ages 14 and above; interested and patient attendees under age 14 are welcome.
Space is limited; preregister early to ensure your spot.
The program is approximately 60 minutes long.
Following the performance, 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

Marion Miles Remick Bird Walk
2026-05-23 11:00 - 12:00 | Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm, 58 Cleveland Hill Rd, Tamworth, NH, 03886, United States
During this guided walk, you’ll discover for yourself the Remick property’s vital role in the lives of migratory birds.
Marion Miles Remick (1906–1980) lived on this site from her marriage to Doc Remick in 1929 until her death. In addition to her interests in flower gardening, cats, and horse racing, Marion enjoyed birdwatching.
Marion’s interest in birding may have been encouraged by the grounds where she once lived, which provide a sweeping landscape and a variety of bird habitats, including forests, fields and open water. Avid birders have spotted at least 89 bird species on the Remick grounds — see a sample list on eBird. Learn more about Marion and the “birds of Remick” with your interpretive guide while enjoying the expansive property.
The anniversary of Marion’s birth takes place on May 28 — 120 years ago. This activity is one way we honor her contribution to our site’s history, often overshadowed by our wider story. While on-site, view a few of Marion’s birding items from the museum’s collection.
Activity length: 45–60 minutes.
Binoculars are recommended; dress for outdoor weather and changing conditions underfoot.
Terrain: gravel paths, uneven grassy fields and inclines.
$5 | FREE for members*
*Remick Ramblers and Museum Maven levels only.
For ages 12+, ages 17 and under must be accompanied by an adult.

School-to-Farm Day 2026 (Carroll County)
2026-05-28 09:30 - 13:30 | Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm, 58 Cleveland Hill Rd, Tamworth, NH, 03886, United States
Once again, New Hampshire Agriculture in the Classroom returns to Remick with its School-to-Farm Day for Carroll County! We look forward to welcoming this year’s local crop of fourth graders, who are eager to learn about various types and forms of agriculture in New Hampshire and how they impact their lives.
What are School-to-Farm Days?
As stated on the New Hampshire Agriculture in the Classroom website, “The event brings together 4th-grade students from different elementary schools throughout the county for a day of learning about the importance of agriculture. Farmers and other professionals are on hand to present mini-lessons and demonstrations on topics such as beekeeping, sheep raising, wool carding and spinning, dairy cows, oxen, maple sugaring, vegetable production, soil ecology, chickens and more. Students visit the stations, meet the experts, see the animals and experience a taste of farm life.” EVENT FLYER
Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm has been pleased to serve as the host site for this impactful event for several years. If you are interested in participating — whether as a class or a demonstrator, contact New Hampshire Agriculture in the Classroom to learn what’s possible. (This event is closed to the general public.)

THE MISSION OF NEW HAMPSHIRE AGRICULTURE IN THE CLASSROOM
Our goal is to increase the agricultural literacy of New Hampshire’s youth. Educational materials help to integrate agriculture, food and natural resources into K-12 classrooms. By applying authentic agricultural examples to teach core curriculum concepts in science, social studies, math, language arts and nutrition, student awareness can be improved. These programs cultivate an understanding and appreciation of the food, fiber and fuel systems that we all depend upon every day.

The Captain Enoch Remick House—the crown jewel of the historic Remick farmstead—has a storied history. In part, it served as the home of Dr. Edwin Remick and Mrs. Emily Remick, née Crafts, and their son, Edwin C. Remick. It was also the location for the medical practice of Dr. Edwin Remick (1894–1935), which he later shared with his son, Dr. Edwin C. Remick (1903–1993). Within the building’s walls and during home visits, the Drs. Remick saw to the medical needs of their community for a combined 99 years: 1894–1993.
This spring, work began on the Captain Enoch Remick House to repair and repaint the extensive exterior of this stately structure. With the professional and historical restoration skills of Cobalt Construction Management Company, our goal is to bring the house back to its rightful integrity and luster, honoring the important history of the building and allowing our country doctors’ story to be told with pride for generations to come.

Visitor Picnicking Reflections from previous years…
“On Father’s Day and Mother’s Day this year, we went on a picnic to Fullersburg in Hinsdale, Illinois. They were beautiful days to sit outside. While we didn’t make our sandwiches, we bought them from a favorite local shop! It is a great memory!” ~ Jess Landis, Chicago, IL
“On the rocks in the river, by the cave in the falls. Scotch eggs are a favorite.” ~ Janine Bryant, Acton, ME
“I love picnics. My favorite foods and things are apples, grapes, bread and ramen. And my cat, Gohan.” ~ Fae, Maine (young visitor)
“Picnics with my birth families in the country where we picked raspberries, or by the lake so the children could play. Good food and good times with family. ~ Diane

Pastures, Picnics, and the Past: A BYO Picnic Gathering
2026-07-18 11:30 - 13:30 | Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm, 58 Cleveland Hill Rd, Tamworth, NH, 03886, United States
Picnicking is always welcome at the Remick farmstead, but we especially encourage you to picnic with us on Saturday, July 18, from 11:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m., rain or shine, to celebrate this summertime delight. Bring your own picnic to enjoy outdoors at one of the many picnic tables under the tent and in the open air, or bring a blanket to use as your “table.”
If you have a vintage picnic basket and/or picnicware, you are encouraged to show it off. Feel like dressing up in “picnic attire”? That’s encouraged, too! Do you have a portable acoustic instrument? Bring it along and jam with others who have brought theirs. Bottled water and fresh-popped popcorn will be available for sale, while supplies last.
Indoors, “Picnic-scapes,” an exhibit that celebrates picnicking—features picnicking items from the Remick collection and picnicking-inspired displays from six local organizations—is on display in the Remick Hearth Room on this day and throughout July (unavailable July 4 and 11).
Please join us!
This is a FREE family-friendly event.
Guest Exhibitors:
+ Arts Council of Tamworth
+ Barnstormers Theatre
+ Chocorua Lake Conservancy
+ Chocorua Public Library
+ Tamworth Community Nurse Association
+ Tamworth Parks and Recreation

Nature’s Harvest: The Art of Wildcrafting
2026-08-01 13:00 - 15:00 | Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm, 58 Cleveland Hill Rd, Tamworth, NH, 03886, United States
Embrace the nature of our cycles and seasons while discovering the art of creating wild, locally harvested tea for beverage and medicinal purposes. Identify familiar, local plants traditionally used for various teas, infusions, and decoctions. Learn the essence of the wildcrafter’s promise and code—emphasizing the principles of ethical and sustainable wildcrafting, vital to perpetuating the continued proliferation of healing plants into the future—an act of kindness, honor, gratitude, and respect to our plant families.
Learn the difference between lunar- and solar-infused teas. Unlock the secrets of wild herbs, medicine, and culinary accents used by wise healers centuries ago—traditional Indigenous healing practices and local folk remedies. Go underground and tap into ancient roots.
Wrapped within the stability of the fertile fields and woods around us, wildcrafting is a pathway to self-care. As the plants ripen and flowers boast their fragrant blossoms, awaken to the possibilities that lead to re-wilding: awareness and self-maturation, merging today’s energies with the ancient past. Reclaim a place in it.
We discuss activities in the field—preparation, drying, storing, crushing, when to use fresh or dry, and how these are accomplished. Know tools, guides, and apps for identification. Familiarity with plants is imperative to avoid dangerous look-a-likes. We will learn about endangered, threatened, or sensitive plants.
