New England's colonial meetinghouses embody an important yet little-known chapter in American history. Built mostly with tax money, they served as both places of worship and places for town meetings, and were the centers of life in colonial New England communities. Using photographs of the few surviving "mint condition" meetinghouses as illustrations, Paul Wainwright tells the story of the society that built and used them, and the lasting impact they have had on American culture.

Presentation will start promptly at 7 pm, so please arrive 10 min early. Parking on site. Light refreshments afterwards.

About the presenter:
Artistic photography and a love of history have been long-standing interests of Paul Wainwright, but he was captured by physics in high school and eventually wound up getting a Ph.D. in the field from Yale. Wainwright worked for many years at Bell Labs, with photography being a continuing avocation. Since 2001 he has pursued his love of photography full-time, and is especially drawn to photographing historic structures in very personal and introspective ways.

New Hampshire Humanities programs are made possible in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. This event is co-hosted with the Pembroke Historical Society and the Friends of the Pembroke Town Library.
