Tri-County Community Action Program, Inc. proudly supports Northern Forest Heritage Park. Larry Kelly, Executive Director of TCCAP would like to remind everyone that NFHP is a community park. The Park is a replica of a late 1800 - early 1900 Logging Camp where men lived and worked for months at a time without going home. It is a place that preserves and celebrates the history of the various cultures that settled this area. The Park provides an atmosphere where busy families, neighbors and long lost friends can renew old acquaintances, relax, and catch up on old times. It is a place where young and old can gather and feel a sense of home, a sense of belonging.
Everyone is encouraged to shop the tables of 16 distinctive local artisans, sample excellent cuisine and be entertained by outstanding musicians! Everyone is invited to this special day of celebration and admission is free! Northern Forest Heritage Park is located across the street from the Brown Company House at 942 Main Street in Berlin, NH. For more information please call 752-7202 or visit the Park’s website at www.northernforestheritage.org
