The Federal Revival style Abbot-Spalding House was the home to
a succession of prominent Nashua citizens, including Daniel Abbot
who is the father of Nashua, George Perham and William Spalding.
The home was a common meeting ground of the famous and influential
of New Hampshire. In addition to the outstanding architecture
of the Federal style home, the furnishings are fine pieces collected
by the Spaldings, including glass, china and a Portrait of President
Franklin Pierce. The
Spalding family occupied the home for 73 years until it was purchased
by the Nashua Historical Society in the late 1970's, from Miss
Sylvia Spalding. The interior and exterior have seen major restoration
in recent years. The ongoing commitment made by the Nashua Historical
Society ensures the Abbot-Spalding House Museum's community roles
for future generations. Additionally, within this museum resides
an extensive Nashua Library. Research services are provided.
