Visit one of Henniker’s most peaceful and idyllic southwestern cemeteries, still in use today. Learn about the burial of victims during the smallpox epidemic. Locate revolutionary and civil war veternss. Find the last resting place of General George Washington’s cousin (yes, here in Henniker!). Guides will tell their stories!

Due to limited parking, visitors will be shuttled from the parking area on the River Road Boat Launch.

NO REGISTRATION REQUIRED

Travel back in time 128 yearsago, to the date, as Historical Society guides describe the fateful weekend of Henniker’s first murder victim and her assailant. A tour bus will transport you to each of the locations where poor Nettie Douglas spent her final hours. Tour is free, but registration required (available after July 15). This tour is back by popular demand!
