Our Seven to Save Listees for 2024 Have Been Announced!
Threats of demolition, destruction from increasingly severe weather events, untold stories of immigrant mill workers, and a New Hampshire-born holiday that needs invigoration from more and new volunteers, are just a few of the stories that make up the historic resources on our 2024 Seven to Save list. Check out our blog to learn more and to watch videos highlighting their unique stories.

About the Program
Since 2006, the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance’s Seven to Save program has helped attract attention and resources to irreplaceable landmarks around the state that are under-used or threatened by neglect, insufficient funds, or unsympathetic development. Progress with the Chandler House in Manchester (Seven to Save 2015) and the rescue of the Gale School in Belmont (Seven to Save 2017) are two recent successes.
To date, over one hundred significant places have been listed to Seven to Save, with more than half saved. Owners and advocates for the former listees have used the designation to help develop new solutions and secure new investments. Many places are in the process of rehabilitation while others continue to need significant help. A few have been lost. Criteria for selection include historical significance, the imminence of threat, and the potential impact of listing a site.
How can being added to our Seven to Save list help your community’s historic building?
Our program is designed as a tool to bring public attention to New Hampshire’s endangered historic resources. The N.H. Preservation Alliance staff is available to help guide listees on their path towards success through a variety of methods including, but not limited to, assistance writing grant and funding applications, organizing volunteer work days, and assisting with workshops.
