NH's Roadside Historical Markers with Michael Bruno, Sunday, Jan. 27 @ 2pm

     Join us on Sunday, January 27 at 2pm to hear NH author Michael Bruno speak about his book, “Cruising New Hampshire History: A Guide to New Hampshire’s Roadside Historical Markers”.

     New Hampshire history is uniquely on display along the highways of the Granite State. NH roadside historical markers commemorate significant events and individuals--- from the first settlers in 1623 to notable individuals who helped define what New Hampshire is today.   

     New Hampshire also played a major role in the birth of our nation. From Revolutionary battlefields to individuals of political influence, the Granite State has made an indelible mark on history.

     Michael Bruno’s book explores the 255 New Hampshire historical markers that dot the state’s highways and roads. Each marker is described with its location and GPS coordinates, date of installation, marker inscription, and expanded historical references to this event/individual. The text also includes other points of interest in the vicinity of the historical marker.

     Michael was born and raised in the Lakes Region. After serving in the U.S. Army for more than 23 years, he returned to New Hampshire in 2009. He has been a JROTC Army Instructor at White Mountains Regional High School in Whitefield since his military retirement. Michael attained an Educational Specialist (Ed. S) degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA. He resides in the historic mountain community of Bethlehem where he is actively involved in town government.

      In 2017, Michael wrote and sponsored an historical marker commemorating Frances Glessner Lee, who made significant contributions to the study of forensics. He is also a certified Granite State Ambassador. In his spare time, Michael enjoys hiking in the White Mountains and riding his motorcycle with his wife Kristin along the country roads of New Hampshire.

     This program is free and open to the public. It was postponed from an earlier snowed-out date. Michael Bruno will also sell and sign copies of his book after his talk. For more information, call the Dover Public Library at 603-516-6050.
