By John A Schutz
From its beginnings in 1845, the entire story of the founding and development of NEHGS is chronicled in these pages.

A century and a half later we still meet to explore the same topics that fascinated our founders - New England's past, American traditions, and family history. Featuring over 35 photographs, this book should provide members with not only a lively read but also a treasured keepsake from our Sesquicentennial year.
