The CuriouslyLocal Corner Stores is a brand new online market for locally produced goods, great stuff that people make and trade in the communities where they live.
We put the Corner Stores online in late February: locally produced jewelry, handwoven scarves, fiber arts, ceramics, music, movies, writing journals and more!
And we will be adding more products from local folks in coming weeks: food goods, clothing, books, tools and more. If you make something of quality that your friends and neighbors buy and love, contact me!

"This Morning Broke Clear: George Packard: ( 2008) This 120 minute historical documentary tells the story of Warner, NH in the four decades after the Civil War through the lives of a number of the town's residents. From Colonel Nehemiah Ordway (businessman, White House insider and national politician) to Amanda Harris (writer), the movie weaves the story of one of the most dynamic periods in the town's history. Vicious local politics, the passion and hubris of individuals, economic panics, tragic fires and the struggle to rebuild. It was not only a time of challenge for Warner, but for other towns across New England and for the nation as a whole. |
H.H. Harriman's reports from 1872 on the Warner weather will be delayed until I can get over to the Pillsbury Free Library in Warner to copy more his diary! --George
