NASHUA – The Nashua Historical Society is inviting writers to join us for a day of writing on Nov. 2.

The event will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Florence H. Speare Memorial Museum, 5 Abbott St.

Whether staying for the day or stopping in for a paragraph, enjoy the historic ambiance with your current writing project.

Whether starting your first short story or finishing your 10th book, tackling a personal challenge or participating in NaNoWriMo, all are invited to write surrounded by the historic exhibits at the Nashua Historical Society. Set up for a writing session next to a nineteenth-century fire engine, in the new World War II exhibit, or surrounded by turn-of-the-nineteenth-century photography, twentieth-century hats or tools made by the company rumored to have manufactured the axe allegedly used by Lizzie Borden.

A temporary exhibit on writing and reading will feature historic writing artifacts, local authors and old books. Participants are welcome to use a cyclopedia and dictionaries dating back to the nineteenth century. In addition, those interested in touring the historic Abbot-Spalding House Museum and the 1940s fashion exhibit currently on view there may participate in a free tour at either 11 a.m. or 1:30 p.m. Light refreshments will be provided. Bring your own lunch. Food and drink are allowed in limited areas. Free parking is available behind the museum.
