Gathering on the Green

In 1925, Reverend Ira S. Jones led the effort to establish what is today's Hampton Historical Society and Tuck Museum. The museum, a place for Hampton's treasures, was named in honor of the philanthropist Edward Tuck, who was born in Exeter and whose mother was born and raised in Hampton.

Starting in July, the Tuck Museum will host a "Retrospective" exhibit called Gathering on the Green that explores each decade of its 90-year history against a backdrop of town, beach and national news. For more info, click here.
