Events at Gorham's Medallion Opera House & Town Happenings Gorham Town Hall's Medallion Opera House (unless otherwise noted)20 Park Street, Gorham (603) 466-3322 Wednesday, June 19, 7pm - Darby Field and the First Ascent of Mount Washington For more than 200 years historians believed that Darby Field made the first climb up Mount Washington in 1642. However, in the last several decades, questions have emerged about his use of Native American guides, about the likelihood of prior ascents by Native Americans, about the route Field may have followed on the mountain, and about whether Field actually made the ascent as claimed. Allen Koop examines how historians reconstruct the "truth" when given scant, vague and even contradictory evidence. Held at Gorham Public Library, 35 Railroad Street. A New Hampshire Humanities Council program - free and open to the public. Contact: Elizabeth Thompson, 466-2525 |

This spectator event was accompanied by entertainers, vendors, gamblers, and a great deal of alcohol. Throughout 19th century NH, demand for cannons for Fourth of July, election celebrations, demonstrations of civic pride, and for the sheer cussedness of making noise, often exceeded supply. Various town and regional rivalries sprang up over the possession of particular cannons and were constant headaches for local authorities.
