Last Saturday night, friends of the Rye Historical Society gathered under a tent at the Knapp House for the Society’s annual gala. What better place to celebrate local history and its preservationists than the County’s oldest home on Rye Beach Avenue.

Pam and Gene McGuire were the evening’s honorees. Pam spearheaded the Walk Rye History project. Make sure to take the self-guided tour and see all 22 signs that are being installed in and around town. For nearly a decade, Gene has brought history back to the present with his fall walking tours.
Everyone involved at the Rye Historical Society deserves extra credit for ensuring that history really matters in our community.
