Florence H. Speare Museum


Abbot-Spalding House

Here in Nashua, New Hampshire, a river mill town that grew on work and dreams, professional and community arts groups abound. In myriad ways, we honor the past, live the present, and envision our future in cultural forms. Here, in this traditional yet modern city, creative energy flows year round.

The private non-profit Nashua Historical Society has acquired and maintains the Florence H. Speare Memorial Museum, dedicated in 1972, and the Abbot-Spalding house, built in 1803-1804 and purchased in 1978. These museums with their collections are open to the public March through Thanksgiving weekend, Tuesday-Thursday 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. and Saturdays by appointment. Please feel free to visit or contact the museum at any time. Tours are available for field trips. We hope you enjoy this site as you learn a little more about our organization.
