Tilton Historical Society presents Historic House plaques to 2020 recipients
January 13, 2021TILTON Three new recipients will be selected in historic downtown Tilton each year. The plaques show a particular building s date of construction or business, and its historic name. The three chosen for 2020 are Bryant & Lawrence Hardware, Ideal Manufacturing/Achber s Department Store and the Loverin Block. Downtown Tilton is already on the National Register of Historic Places, but the Society wanted to visually mark buildings so that people walking by, could get an idea of when they were originally built and what they were used for. It give s our downtown an identity, says John Ciriello, Chairman for the Tilton Historical Society. We hope to lead historic tours downtown once things with the pandemic lessen. There s a lot of history in Tilton and it is very unique.
