CONWAY — As we continue to celebrate our town's 250th anniversary, leading up to the anniversary of the town's founding on Oct. 1, it is fun to revisit facts pertaining to the town's rich history.

As co-chair with Jill Reynolds of the "Conway Celebrates Legacy" committee, and being a social studies teacher, I thought I would share a few presidential facts as they relate to the region. After all, we are home to the Presidential Range here in the White Mountains.
