Last month, I went to see the new exhibit at the Museum of the White Mountains in Plymouth entitled “The People’s Forest — A Centennial Celebration of the White Mountain National Forest.” It will be there through Sept. 12. It is a special exhibit for this centennial year of the forest that has been three years in the making.

I didn’t feel pressed to write about the exhibit right off. A great cover story about it was done in The Conway Daily Sun by Tom Eastman the weekend of its opening. Yet, it is more of a summer event rather than just an exhibit. Many talks, presentations and outdoor activities for the centennial have been planned, and some have already happened. Many of the talks are at the museum.
