Gilsum Educational Options Study Group Issues Report

In March, 2011, The Gilsum Board of Selectmen commissioned this committee to study all options for the future education of Gilsum's children. On October 31, 2011 the Study Group submitted its report and recommendations to the Selectmen. The committee recommended that Gilsum remain in the Monadnock Regional School District, but described the pros and cons of many different options available to the citizens of Gilsum.

Mole Hill Theatre featured on NHPR

New Hampshire Public Radio did a feature on the Mole Hill Theatre in Alstead this week. Gilsum residents will recognize the venue: It's the Triple M Tool and Die business founded by Ben Molesky and now operated by his son Dennis. By day, it's still a too and die shop. But in the evening the place is transformed into a performance venue. If you haven't been there, do check it out. This week the theatre will be rocking out to the sounds of the Turn it Loose! band.
