What’s your favorite historic structure in Windham?

Betty Winslow, Windham Historical Society president

“I think the museum. It’s a place where we preserve artifacts and do historical research.”

Linda Tetrault, Windham Historical Society member

“I like the Friends Meetinghouse. I like the feel of the place and to think of the people who have passed through its doors.”

Walter Lunt, Windham Historical Society member

“It’s the Elijah Pope House on Pope Road. I grew up in that neighborhood and learned about the early Windham Quakers, their mills on Pleasant River and the Underground Railroad from Gilbert and Sylvia Small, who lived in the house from the 1920s to 1970s. That’s why I’m interested in Windham history, because of the stories they shared with me.”

Norma Rogers, Windham Historical Society member

“My house on Windham Center Road, because it’s old and I love all the uneven boards and all the memories that go with it. And I wonder about the people who lived there, what they were like. It used to be an old stagecoach inn.”

Liz Wisecup, Windham Historical Society member

“It’s the Clark farm on the Swett Road. My father was born in that house, and my grandparents owned that house. It was built in 1795 and it still has the wooden shutters. I call it the family homestead. And it’s where we had all the family get-togethers when my grandparents were alive. There were lots of memories made there. It’s where my heart lives.”

Elaine Dickinson, Parson Smith House owner

“We live in the Parson Smith House and that’s, of course, my favorite house. I love the land, and my husband has always wanted to live in an 18th century house.”
