ARCH Mission & History

The Association for Rollinsford Culture and History

ARCH was founded in 2003 in order to preserve and maintain the Colonel Paul Wentworth House as an educational and cultural center. In addition to fundraising and overseeing the maintenance of the Wentworth House, the board of directors plans educational opportunities for the public, including exhibits, demonstrations, and living history events throughout the year. ARCH membership is open to all.

ARCH is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt nonprofit organization.
