The Early History of Wilmot, New Hampshire by Casper LeVarn (pdf)
The book was newly republished with a grant from Mascoma Savings Bank.
Education Collection – The Wilmot Historical Society has been collecting historic artifacts since its inception in 1976. Although our basic mission has never wavered, our collecting focus has changed over the decades. The WHS Board of Directors has chosen to limit its permanent collection to objects that are directly related to Wilmot, its current and former residents. To make good use of the deaccessioned items, and items that are donated that are not related directly to Wilmot, an Education Collection was established that would allow us to store and share selected objects with the public in a new way.
The following books are available in the History Room in the Wilmot Town Hall on Saturdays during the Wilmot Farmers Market July through September from 9 a.m. to noon if Covid protocols allow the room to be open to the public. During the winter months, please email info@wimothistoricalsociety.org to place your order.

Born in Wilmot, Ms. Langley collected a vast store of historical data that are presented in this book in a fun and inviting manner. $10.00 each.
"...is the story of Wilmot’s churches over a period of almost two hundred years.
The chronicle is admittedly spotty in places because records have burned and disappeared, but Florence Langley has painstakingly researched and examined every bit of available evidence which she has been able to find." SOLD OUT
by Florence Langley is a fascinating documentation of the founding, growth, and eventual closing of the many schools operated in Wilmot, New Hampshire, from the time that the first three schoolhouses were erected in 1809 until the present. This book is more than a chronicle of the educational process in a small New England town. It is rather a prototype of schools in New Hampshire. $10.00 each.
