About Northam Colonists / Dover Historical Society (1895-2008)

The Northam Colonists were the historical society of Dover, New Hampshire. The name stems from the original name for the town of Dover. The all-volunteer association was organized in 1895 and officially incorporated on September 1, 1900. In the early years, membership was contingent upon proof of descent from the original settlers of Dover, but in 2001 that policy changed in and the society was renamed to the Dover Historical Society to reflect the updated and reconfigured purpose of the group. The mission of the Society was to collect, preserve and exhibit artifacts, information, and documents that shed light on Dover’s local history, provide interesting and educational services to the local community and the public at large, and advance the aims of the Society. It was disbanded in 2008.

About the Northam Colonists / Dover Historical Society Papers
