Please come and be a part of this 250th Commeration. It is a collaboration between the Veterans Club, Atkinson Historical Society, and the town.

Come on down to the Community Center and visit us and get your Atkinson merchandise for Dad. We are here until close!

We are over halfway there with getting our 250th Revolutionary Trail up. We just need permission to get the rest of the signs up. If you live in a house built before 1799 double check your mail and get the form in the mail or drop it off. We would love to have all 30 plus homes "signed". The map is coming. Thanks for the support.
