History Of New Hampton Institute Being Revisited

The Fairfax Historical Society will be meeting Sunday March 25th at 2pm in the Fairfax Community Library. The program will be a look at the New Hampton Institute; a Theological and Literary prep school located in Fairfax in the latter half of the 1800’s. Some new information has surfaced about the buildings after it was no longer a school.

If anyone has any memories of the school or buildings, we invite you to come and share.

The public is also invited to attend.

For more information, please call 849-6638.
