Exploring Dover’s Black History Tour

July 13 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm

Dover is steeped deep in rich Black history. On this tour, you’ll hear about the people enslaved by the Waldron family and how the cotton mill built in Dover fueled slavery in the South. You’ll discover the Brown/Mitchell family: Nellie Brown Mitchell (renowned Black opera singer), her brother Edward Brown, (lawyer, who submitted to Congress a petition for a national anti-lynching bill and first Black justice of the peace in New Hampshire), and her husband Charles Mitchell (Civil War hero and first Black person elected to the Massachusetts legislature).

Join us to discover their amazing stories of community, resilience, and courage.

Meeting Place: Woodman Museum |15 Summer St, Dover, NH.
