Join us for the first Humanities-to-Go talk of 2025! Made possible by a grant from the New Hampshire Humanities Council. This program is free and open to the public and will include some light refreshments of coffee or tea and small treats. The program will beheld in the Meeting Room of the Great Stone Dwelling.

Stories speak to us of community. They hold our history and reflect our identity. Rebecca Rule has made it her mission over the last 20 years to collect stories of New Hampshire, especially those that reflect what’s special about this rocky old place. She’ll tell some of those stories – her favorites are the funny ones – and invite audience members to contribute a few stories of their own.

Who is Rebecca Rule?

Rebecca Rule hosts Our Hometown on NHPBS. Each program features a different New Hampshire town, its stories about what makes their town special told by its citizens.

She’s been telling stories in New England, especially New Hampshire, for many years. She hasn’t visited every town in the Granite State, but has found her way to most of them — speaking at libraries, schools, historical societies, church groups, and charitable organizations. She likes collecting stories because “they’re free and you don’t have to dust them.” Our stories are our identity. They hold our history, our culture, our heart.

Her books include N is for New Hampshire, an ABC book with photographs by Scott Snyder; The Iciest Diciest Scariest Sled Ride Ever!, a picture book illustrated by Jennifer Thermes; Headin’ for the Rhubarb, A NH Dictionary (well, kinda); and That Reminds Me of a Funny Story. Her new book, NH Trivia, will be available in the spring of 2024.
