That was us 155 years ago. We’ve gotten a bit older, but oddly we’re not as gray as we used to be. Things have certainly changed from that first edition, published on May 23, 1864. You’ll no longer find the stage coach and railroad schedules on the front page. And we don’t have as many surgeons vying for front-page advertising (Ouch. Pass the sarsaparilla!)

We still give you the news in print, but now you’re just as likely to see us online, on social media, and yes, in your email inbox.

Just like that first day, we’re working hard to connect you to your community with stories and information you’ll find insightful and impactful. So, in the spirit of 1864, we have three offers 155 years in the making. Click here or call 603-224-4287 and give promo code 155YEARS.

P.S. Look closely at the image above. You’ll notice a report that Nathaniel Hawthorne was found dead in Plymouth by former president Franklin Pierce. Breaking news on Day 1!
