SUMMARY:Dye Day: Indigo with Overdye
DESCRIPTION:An educational event with the Southeast New Hampshire Spinning Guild\nJoin the Southeast New Hampshire Spinning Guild at the Wentworth House for a day of play with dye! In their last educational event of the year\, the Guild will be using three natural dyes (red\, yellow and orange) and overdyeing with indigo to showcase the varieties of colors available using natural dyes. \nThe day will begin with mordanting the skeins at 10:30\, so we can start dyeing by noon. Participants should bring a spinning wheel\, spindle or knitting for the ‘down time’ during preparation and subsequent dyeing. as well as a chair and a lunch. \nDATE: Saturday\, September 19\nTIME: 10 am – 4 pm\nREGISTER: Email mona.lapierre@gmail.com \nParticipants will need to bring six one-ounce skeins of protein fibers (wool\, silk\, alpaca or mohair\, alone or blended – no superwash please). These will need to be clean and scoured prior to your arrival – dye pots require clean\, mordanted skeins to make sure the colors are bright\, and colorfast. For indigo\, both protein fibers and cellulose fibers (cotton\, linen\, hemp\, ramie and bamboo) can be dyed without any prior preparation (other than scouring and wetting). \nThis will be a great introduction for beginners to experience the simplicity of a basic blue and turning it to another color! Come be part of the magic – no prior experience needed. For more information or to register\, email mona.lapierre@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Presentation: “Revolution Comes to the Seacoast” with Dane A. Morrison
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special lecture by Dr. Dane Morrison\, “Revolution Comes to the Seacoast.”\nFour months before the “shot heard round the world” was fired at Lexington and Concord in April 1775\, the farmers and fishermen of Seacoast New Hampshire rose up to defy British authority at Fort William and Mary. This is a part of New Hampshire history with which area residents are quite familiar. Less well known is the story of how the colonist’s resistance movement came together. \nTextbooks recall their recitation of grievances: taxes and tyranny; and their demands: relief from impositions on their liberty and recognition of their right to representation. But books seldom explore what these terms meant to those who protested and risked their lives and livelihoods. Prof. Morrison will explore the conditions that led the Seacoast’s communities to rebel against their king. \nDATE: Wednesday\, August 19\nTIME: 7:00 pm\nLOCATION: RPL Community Room\, Lower Mill\, Rollinsford \nOne of a series of events in recognition of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution\, this lecture is hosted by the Association for Rollinsford Culture and History (ARCH).

SUMMARY:Civil War Encampment & Frederick Douglass Reading
DESCRIPTION:Learn about one of the most important turning points in our nation’s history.\nStep back in time to the era of the Civil War and experience some of the sights\, sounds\, and emotions of that momentous time in our nation’s history. \nDATE: Saturday\, June 27\, 2026\nTIME: 10:00 – 4:00 \nCivil War Encampment\nHistorical re-enactors portraying soldiers of Company A of the 5th New Hampshire Regiment will be encamped at the Wentworth House with demonstrations and displays of the tents\, uniforms\, muskets\, and other equipment used by Union soldiers during the Civil War. \nLIVE DRILLS & MUSKET FIRINGS\nThe soldiers will conduct drills and firings in the morning and afternoon\, and special kids’ drills at 10:30 am and 2 pm. They will also present informal talks about the history of the 5th NH\, which saw action in many of the significant battles of the Civil War and also sustained the greatest loss in battle of any infantry or cavalry regiment in the Union Army. \nFrederick Douglass Reading\nAt noon\, the Wentworth House will also host a community reading of “What to the slave is your Fourth of July\,” famed abolitionist Frederick Douglass’ blistering indictment of an American idealism which ignored and accepted the inhuman treatment of enslaved African Americans. \n\nHeld in collaboration with the Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire\, the reading at the Wentworth House will be one of 16 community readings taking place simultaneously across the Granite State. \nPublic participation in this meaningful experience is encouraged. To volunteer to read a section of the speech\, or to request additional information\, send an email to paulwentworthhouse@gmail.com. \n\nWho were the N.H. Fifth Regiment Volunteers?\nNew Hampshire’s “Fighting Fifth” Regiment fought in numerous battles throughout the Civil War\, and earned a reputation for its tenacity and combat readiness. By the end of the Civil War\, this regiment had suffered more dead and wounded men than any infantry or cavalry regiment in the entire Union Army. \nThe regiment’s first substantial contribution to the war came on May 28\, 1862\, when they built the famed Grapevine Bridge (pictured here)\, “passable for artillery\,” across Virginia’s Chickahominy River and its swamp within just two days. \nJust three days later\, Colonel Cross (leader of the Fighting Fifth) wrote in his private journal: “Confederates had driven Casey’s Division from its camp and captured a large amount of property. The arrival of Sedgwick’s Division alone saved the army from disastrous defeat\, and be it remembered Sedgwick’s Division crossed the Chickahominy swamp on the bridge of logs 70 rods [385 yards] long\, built by the 5th New Hampshire Regiment! Let the impartial historian remember this.” \nOver the course of the Civil War\, 31\,650 New Hampshire men served in the Union Army\, representing over ten percent of the state’s population. The Fifth Regiment of New Hampshire Volunteers remained active until the war ended\, with nearly 2\,600 soldiers passing through its ranks. Throughout the Civil War\, the regiment sustained 1\,051 casualties\, including 473 deaths. The Fifth Regiment carries the unfortunate but honorable distinction of having suffered more dead and wounded men than any infantry or cavalry regiment in the entire Union Army.

SUMMARY:Southeast New Hampshire Spinning Guild: Playing with Plying and Spin-In
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to welcome the Southeast New Hampshire Spinning Guild back to the Wentworth House for another year of events!\nIn the first event of the year\, Donna Kay will take out the mystery out of plying with her workshop “Playing with Plying.” Come spin in the morning\, have lunch\, and enjoy the day with other fiber enthusiasts! \nDATE: Saturday\, May 30th\, 2026\nTIME: 10 am – 4 pm\, Rain or Shine\nREGISTER: To register please email Mona.LaPierre@gmail.com by May 23\, 2026 Class size will be limited to fifteen. \n\nOpen Spin is all day: 10 am – 4 pm\nDonna Kay’s workshop will run from 12:30 – 3:30 pm\n\nAbout Playing with Plying\nOpen to all who have some plying experience. Plying is an important part of yarn design! These yarns will hold up well to abrasion and can be easy to knit or weave with. Spinners spend a lot of time and effort creating lovely singles\, but often quickly ply them just hoping for the best! Implementing a few simple techniques will help you consistently ply beautiful yarns. \nPlying is also the foundation skill for making novelty yarns. In this class we will work with singles to make 2-ply and 3-ply yarns as well as cabled\, chain ply (Navajo ply)\, and if time permits\, uneven plies. We will go step by step through the techniques of creating these fun and useful yarns! \nEquipment required for the class: spinning wheel in good working order; and 4 bobbins OR 1 bobbin on your wheel + 3 or more weaving bobbins**(I will have extra bobbins and a winder with me)\, a lazy kate and a niddy noddy. \n**Please bring two bobbins each with at least one ounce of singles yarn of a medium diameter using similar fiber (contrasting colors would be great)\, spun at least 24 hours before class. Dyed Corriedale or Polworth top would be a great choice. \nAny questions? Ask away! treeoflife@metrocast.net. If you are interested in purchasing 2 ounces of fiber please contact mona.lapierre@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Presentation: Archaeological Finds From the Wentworth House Site
DESCRIPTION:Archaeologists Alix Martin and Tad Baker will present a talk on the preliminary findings from last year’s archaeological excavation at the original site of Rollinsford’s historic Colonel Paul Wentworth House at 7 pm on Wednesday\, April 15 in the Community Room of the Rollinsford Public Library. \nDATE: Wednesday\, April 15\, 2026\nTIME: 7:00 pm\nLOCATION: Rollinsford Public Library Community Room \nConstructed circa 1701\, the Colonel Paul Wentworth House witnessed the development of the town of Rollinsford from Colonel Wentworth’s sawmills to a bustling industrial mill town. Last year\, a partnership among the Association for Rollinsford Culture and History (ARCH)\, Strawbery Banke Museum\, and the property owner resulted in a successful archaeological excavation of the original site of the house. Thousands of artifacts were recovered during the dig\, which identified the foundation of the rear lean-to of the Wentworth House. \nArchaeologists also determined that the details of the map of the site drawn by the Historic American Building Survey in 1936 were incorrect. The artifacts recovered and our new\nunderstanding of the layout of the yard and its outbuildings\, including a carriage house described as slaves’ quarters\, will help ARCH better interpret the lives of the property’s\ninhabitants. \nTo follow up on last year’s dig\, a second archaeological field school will take place at the site this June. Plans are in the works to offer tours of the dig site while the field school is in progress. \nThis lecture is free and open to the public although donations will be gratefully accepted. For more information about the lecture or the field school\, send an email to\npaulwentworthhouse@gmail.com.
