*IMPORTANT COVID-19 NOTE: COVID-19 precautions will be in place to reasonably assure the safety of guests and speakers. The last thing we would ever want to know is that someone contracted the virus from the well-meaning people we brought together. Consistent with other Seacoast area historical societies and event hosts, WE ARE ONLY ENCOURAGING PROGRAM ATTENDANCE FOR STRATHAM HISTORICAL SOCIETY MEMBERS AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO ARE FULLY-VACCINATED. Additionally, WE WILL REQUIRE THE WEARING OF MASKS THROUGHOUT THE PROGRAM. While we will not be asking health questions at the door, we ask that anyone exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms or feeling unwell hold off on attending. Complimentary masks will be available for attendees who do not have their own. Half of the meeting room will be set with pairs of chairs that are physically distanced. We ask that these chairs be saved for guests who are most concerned about vulnerability to COVID-19.*
