F.I.H.S. History and Mission

The Francestown Improvement & Historical Society (F.I.H.S.) has been a vital community organization since its founding in 1911 by Alison Bixby Hill.  Since then, F.I.H.S. has been  responsible for a wide range of important activities and efforts for the town and people of    Francestown, New Hampshire.  FIHS is an unique organization having two distinct missions: 1) promoting the History of Francestown, NH and preserving our siginificant collection of artifacts, and 2) funding a number of Town "improvement projects".

We invite you to take a few minutes to explore the various pages of our website to learn more about FIHS.  Please join F.I.H.S. to help us as we continue our important work in Francestown.

Today, F.I.H.S. Continues its Mission by:

• Funding Town improvement projects
• Improving Town recreational facilities
• Providing for seasonal beautification
• Collecting and preserving materials and artifacts of historical value
• Providing the public with access to the Society's collection, and
• Educating the public on the Town's rich and diverse history
