Crossroads: Change in Rural America and The White Mountains: A Crossroads
Dates: May 31 - September 13, 2025
The Museum of the White Mountains at Plymouth State University was selected by New Hampshire Humanities as one of three host sites in the state for the Smithsonian’s Museum on Main Street exhibition, Crossroads: Change in Rural America. This exhibition explores pressing questions for rural communities: What does “rural America” mean? What makes these places unique? How do we identify with them? How have rural communities and small towns evolved and changed?
The White Mountains: A Crossroads explores the same themes of land, community, identity, persistence, and managing change in the context of the western White Mountains. We are doing this in partnership with the historical societies and public libraries in Plymouth, Franconia, Lincoln, Woodstock, and Bethlehem. Using the buildings (a courthouse, a church, a café/store, and a farmhouse) where each group is housed as focal points, the exhibition explores how these five communities developed and continue to evolve.
