Granite State Stories: "In the Memory House"

Howard Mansfield's 1993 book "In the Memory House" explores how we as Granite Staters memorialize, preserve and present our past. Sometimes it's an old tradition like our town meetings. Sometimes it’s the towns who take great pains to preserve its legendary 100 year old elm tree or historic societies that maintain the town's turn of the century fire truck. Sometimes it's preserving the memory of an unpopular president despite the fact that many want to forget his legacy. Through the pages of Howard Mansfield's book "In the Memory House" we'll look at how we remember our past.
