Youth Program

At the Claremont, NH Historical Society, we believe that history comes alive when it’s shared, explored, and experienced—especially by the next generation. Our youth programs are designed to provide creative, hands-on opportunities for young people and families to engage with Claremont’s rich past while discovering its relevance in today’s world.

Thanks to the generous support of the Claremont Savings Bank Foundation, our 2025 youth programming season is made possible—helping us spark curiosity, build connections, and inspire a lifelong appreciation for our city’s unique place in history.

Want to get involved with hosting an event for kids and families? Send us an email, we’d love to hear from you!
