Welcome To NCCHP!
The NCCHP museum was founded in 2007 to preserve & incorporate the rich history of Granville and the surrounding areas. The museum is housed within the historic buildings of the Noble & Cooley drum factory. The buildings & original equipment at the site offer a unique opportunity to experience "Yankee Ingenuity" as it impacted manufacturing from the mid-1800's forward.

Dick and Tom have been working very hard on cleaning, sorting, and archiving over 150 years worth of treasures. Check out the blog that showcases some of their amazing finds...and more! This month features pictures of the newly "restored" 1924 Model T truck that made it's debut in the Granville 4th of July parade. You can see at the museum when you come for a tour. Check out all the cool stuff on the blog here.
What's Happening Next at NCCHP:
MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
12th Annual Ice Harvest Saturday, February 1st Dennis Picard, former director of Storrowton Village Museum, will organize the harvest and invite visitors to join him on the ice (conditions permitting) to use the ice saw and other antique tools to experience life before the days of refrigeration. During the ice harvest the museum will be open for tours that focus on Yankee Ingenuity from the 1850's to current day. We hope to bring people together to rekindle the community spirit of farm communities and industrial villages that were common in most of New England. Come see and participate in this fascinating "living history" program. There is no charge for the ice harvest event, but donations will be gratefully accepted. This living history presentation is supported in part by grants from the Granville Cultural Council, the Suffield Historical Society and the Suffield Land Conservancy. 2020 Tour Schedule - The museum will be open for tours on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month from May - Oct from noon - 3:00. ADDED BONUS: The digitization room will also be open for business on the 2nd and 4th Sundays starting in June. Check it out! Thanks in advance for keeping our living history programs alive! Hope to see you and your families at 42 Water Street in 2020! |
