Heritage Commission

Establishment & Mission:
The Hampton Falls Heritage Commission was established in March 2008.  Its purpose is to recognize and protect the town’s resources that are valued for their historic, cultural, aesthetic, or community significance.  The Commission is enjoined to advise the Planning Board in decisions regarding historic properties in Hampton Falls.

Heritage Commission members are volunteers appointed by the Board of Selectmen. Each member, except for the Selectmen's representative, is appointed for a three-year term.  Alternates are also appointed for a three-year term. The Heritage Commission is governed by the NH RSAs.

Alternates Welcome!
If you are interested and/or concerned about the heritage of Hampton Falls, want to learn about the town’s history and development, please consider joining the Heritage Commission.  A  "Hampton Falls' Historical Resources Guidebook" was published August 1, 2022 and is available for purchase at the Town Clerk's office at Town Hall, and at the Library for $20.  Heritage Commission alternates are welcome who can contribute their time to help preserve the historic assets of Hampton Falls.

Contact the Chairman if you are willing to help. The Heritage Commission meets on the 2nd Tuesday monthly at 9:00 AM at Town Hall.
