Books
- Hill Village on the Pemigewasset $20
In July, 1991 the Society published Hill Village on the Pemigewasset, a
history of the old village.
The book is in two parts: the first a narrative of the settlement of New
Chester and the village built along the flood plain, and the second half depicting
nearly every building in the flood plain, with as complete a history of the
ownership and occupants of the houses as was possible.
- The Story of Hill, New Hampshire, By Dan Stiles $15
The four years from 1939 through 1942 saw Hill Village selected for the site
of a major federal flood control project. The people of Hill had to act to
re-establish the village nearby.
Dan Stiles, a noted journalist, recounted the amazing story for posterity in
this very readable book of 72 pages liberally illustrated on 32 of those pages.
- Our Chosen Place $20
This book is published in a soft cover, six-by-nine inches in size,
containing over 300 pages of text, graphics and photographs and an index.

sixty-five years.
