Sofia Thornblad was recently appointed executive director of the Horatio Colony House Museum and Nature Preserve in Keene.
Thornblad, a native of the Keene area who graduated from Keene State College, received a masterâs degree in museum studies from the University of New Hampshire.
While studying for her degree, she interned at the Horatio Colony Museum, where then-director Anita Carroll-Weldon taught her the history of the Colony family and its legacy.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused museums around the world to rethink their online presence, and Thornblad hopes to provide increased digital public programming in the new year.
