Abandoned New Hampshire:

Author Michael Petipas will talk about his book Abandoned New Hampshire Saturday, November 16, 1pm at Pembroke Town Library. This event is free and open to the public.

From the book cover: "In Abandoned New Hampshire, Michael Petipas captures his home state's past in the present through a collection of photographs. Through this visual journey, discover the beauty left in the wreckage and rubble of these old buildings before they disappear. All abandoned locations have a story to tell. Some are simply homes that have been abandoned for any number of reasons. Others were once giants of industry that employed the majority of the people who lived around them. Local favorites such as the Colonial Theater hold a sense of nostalgia for residents, while the history of some places is left to the imagination as they sit empty and dark through the heat of summer and cold of winter. These old bones are all that is left of an era."
