The Mysterious Hidden Gem Attraction In New Hampshire You Never Even Knew Existed
As kids, we grow up being shuttled from one museum to another in school. These are usually field trips that are long anticipated and expected, complementing classes like science and history with a fun outing. While most kids all visit the same slew of museums, we love that this one might be totally new to most of you. It’s small, but absolutely packed with…stuff. Yes, we’ll call it “stuff.”
The Woodman Museum in Dover is one of those places that feels stuck in time - in the best way possible!
It was established in 1915 when Annie Woodman, a notable philanthropist passed away leaving $100,000 for the establishment of an "institute to promote local education in science, history and the arts."
This might not be a museum you visited often as a child, but it's one that should certainly play a role in the education of all New Hampshirites who can make the trip.
The Woodman Museum is located at 182 Central Ave., Dover, New Hampshire. You can reach them at 603-742-1038. They’re open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Learn more about the museum on their website or on Facebook.
