Keynote Presentation: “From Homesteads to Howitzers to Hiking Trails” The Untold Story of Fort Dearborn at Odiorne Point with Hunter Stetz

Join us for a fascinating look at the transformation of Rye’s Odiorne Point—from a seaside neighborhood to a WWII military fort, and ultimately to one of New Hampshire’s most beloved state parks. Learn how eminent domain reshaped the coastline in 1942, why Fort Dearborn was built, and how the park's creation sparked lasting local controversy.
