About the Trail

The Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire (BHTNH) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to telling the untold diverse histories of New Hampshire citizens. From the ports of Portsmouth, where enslaved Africans first arrived, to the northern border where freedom seekers found refuge, New Hampshire holds stories of resilience, courage, and community. These stories challenge us to look beyond the surface and uncover truths that have long been hidden.

At the Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire, we believe understanding this history isn’t just about the past—it’s about creating a better future. By shining a light on these untold narratives, we inspire connection, foster healing, and build more inclusive communities.

The stories we haven’t heard shape the connections we’re missing. Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire brings those stories to life, helping us uncover a more complete and truthful history. From walking tours led by our expert Sankofa Scholars to interactive events and self-guided explorations, every experience inspires understanding, belonging, and action. Join us in creating bonds of understanding for stronger, more inclusive communities.
