Current Exhibitions
Mill Town Memories: The Drawings and
Watercolors of Marian Cannon Schlesinger (through February 15, 2009)
-
Through Mill Town Memories, the New Hampshire Historical Society presents artist Marian
Cannon Schlesinger’s view of twenty-eight mill towns that grew up on the inland rivers and streams across

drawings and watercolors arranged alphabetically by community name capture New England mill communities during
a period of change, as the textile industry was declining and mills were beginning to disappear from the
landscape.
The drawings and watercolors in Mill Town Memories are selected from a
recent promised gift made to the New Hampshire Historical Society of a collection of 83 works by
the artist.
