Greetings from Hill NH
Because (a) we mean it and (2) the card says so 😉

The card was published by Rudy’s Post Card Services of Malden Massachusetts, they moved to Hudson New Hampshire at some point, specializing in publishing "Chrome" era photo postcards—distinctive for their shiny, vibrant color finishes—which primarily targeted New England tourism These types of cards were produced in high volume from the 1950s through the 1970s. Before tourism shifts.
By the late 20th century independent post card manufacturers became obsolete.
BUT … this card of Hill has survived.
What do you think the picture is of ? Where?

One of our HUGE projects this year is the restoration , repair and painting of the Dickerson school house.
Our absolutely fabulous volunteers took on the mission of replacing the damaged rotted parts of the outside walls.
Of course nothing goes easy as they ran into carpenter ants. 🐜. JP Chemical was hired to take care of that problem. Although the building will need one more treatment come spring.
Next was the scraping and primer coat. The final red coat of paint will be a bit later. We absolutely need to give a shout out and thank you to Erich Petty Painting.

Greetings!
It’s been a busy and grand season for the Hill
Historical Society.
Let’s see..

Old Hill Village drive-through weekend Continued participation in the Jennie D. Blake School
“ Who was John Stark?” Presentation
“ Bears in Nh” Presentation
Plus many new and wonderful donations of items this year.

Absolutely love to have you join us next year !!

Oh… and the post card? That was to get your eye. But now that we have your attention, it was mailed April 13 1945 from Hill Nh to Mrs Ida Walker , 35 Franklin St , Concord New Hampshire.
The message reads
Friday 10:25 am
Dear Ida,
If I have time will write a letter this PM. What grand weather for Ruth’s trip. (?) appointing is May 10 -(thurs)

The recipient must have know the handwriting as the card is not signed . Or is Ida still wondering who sent it ??

I do find the picture on the postcard a bit odd, were there still cows in the old village crossing the river ? They certainly were not in the new village. Another mystery!!

Ok- here we go ..
Nathan Mason was born Jan 7 1833 in Sanbornton NH to Benjamin Mason and Rachel Moore
He died Feb 11 1911 at 78 years old from abscess of the lung and a senile condition.
Nathan is buried in Pleasant Hill Cemetery in Hill Nh along with his sister Rachel Mason Eaton , brother in law Joshua Eaton
He was retired clerk when he passed
It appears that he lived in Hill around 1863 , by 1870 he was back in Sanbornton until approximately 1910 then he moved back to Hill.
In 1910 he was a boarder with Nellie and Elizabeth Batchelder on Main Street.

Remnants of a Ghost town . Old Hill is a uninhabited abandoned village in New Hampshire that was relocated in 1941 for a flood control project. This bottle is from roughly the 1880s and was found diving a nearby river !
Who was Nathan Mason and what do you think he did ?
