Please help us save the henniker hearse!!!

In 1917 Henniker purchased a hearse built in the mid-1800’s from an Antrum undertaker to service town funerals. In 1948 it was retired and left to deteriorate. Mrs. Maro McLeod donated the hearse to the Society in 2006 - we feel this iconic piece of Henniker history is worth saving. We need YOUR help in the restoration costs. Phase 1 has been completed by replacing the wooden wheels and rehabing the axles. Phase 2 repairs the hearse body.

Donors ($50.00 +) will be invited to a private Reveal Pary when the hearse is completed!!!!
