The New Hampshire Preservation Alliance announced its 2026 Seven to Save list on October 20 at the Epsom Meetinghouse. This year’s endangered places: the 1904 Shingle Style Woodbury Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church in Antrim; a pairing of North Country town halls, Bethlehem Town Hall (1912) and Lisbon Town Hall and Opera House (1902); the Great North Woods Center for the Arts in Columbia; Exeter’s 1892 Park Street Bridge, the state’s only documented 19th-century low Warren truss bridge, closed since 2025; Haverhill’s 1827 First Congregational Church; Portsmouth’s Prescott Park waterfront buildings (the c. 1705 Sheafe Warehouse, the Shaw Warehouse and the 1833 Marine Railway Building), threatened by rising water; and South Weare Union Church (1875).

The Alliance received a record number of nominations for church buildings this year, reflecting the growing challenges facing these community landmarks.
