NASHUA – Saturday’s scheduled dedication of the Nashua Historical Society’s new historic highway marker has been postponed to Oct. 24 due to inclement weather.

The program begins at 10 a.m. in front of the society’s Abbot-Spalding House Museum at the corner of Nashville and Abbott streets.

The public is invited. Face coverings are required, and social distancing will be enforced.

The marker, which is the first to be installed in Nashua, highlights the Abbot-Spalding House, which prominent 19th-century Nashua businessman and lawyer Daniel Abbot built around 1802-1804.

Abbot is known as “The Father of Nashua” for his leading role in reuniting the towns of Nashua and Nashville 11 years after the two split over political conflict.

The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and on the New Hampshire State Register of Historic Places.
