Moffatt-Ladd House Celebrates Anniversary with Exhibition Featuring Women Leaders and Pioneers This year’s annual open house and heirloom plant sale will be held at the Moffatt-Ladd House on Sunday June 5, from 10AM to 5PM. In addition to self-guided tours of the house, and beautiful plants from the house’s wonderful Colonial Revival garden (including many perennials not to be found elsewhere) the day will have a special celebratory theme this year. The museum is owned and operated by The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the State of New Hampshire (NSCDA-NH), and this year marks the 125th anniversary of the NSCDA nationally. In celebration, from June 1 to June 19, the house will be featuring two loan exhibitions: History’s Keepers and Women of Vision. History’s Keepers discusses the origins of The (NSCDA) in 1891, and the Society’s pioneering efforts in the field of historical preservation. Women of Vision highlights the lives of outstanding NSCDA members who made groundbreaking contributions to American life from 1891 to the present.
