Tamworth Town Column: Tamworth History Center to present 'How (and Why) to Tell Them' workshop

The Tamworth History Center will be presenting “How (and Why) to Tell Them,” a participatory workshop with storyteller and oral historian Jo Radner of Lovell, Maine today at 6 p.m. at Cook Memorial Library. Participants are invited to bring along a photo, object or facts about your family’s past. This is a suitable presentation for older children, so bring them to the event. The event is free of charge. Refreshments will be served. Tamworth History Center’s summer events will focus on the Civil War, and now is the time to look for items of interest pertaining to that event.

Local mountain climber, guide and writer Nick Aiello-Popeo spent many days refining his technique in the White Mountains. In the fall of 2017, he and another guide took their skillset honed in New Hampshire and attempted an unclimbed Himalayan giant: the 20,577-foot-tall Baihali Jot. Their months-long expedition was far more adventurous than the two New Englanders had anticipated. Nick share the interplay between our local crags and his high altitude expeditions at the Cook Memorial Library in Tamworth on Wednesday at 7 p.m.
