A Place of History and Community
The Great North Woods Center for the Arts occupies one of northern New Hampshire's most unique historic properties. The site has served as the Parsons Family Farm, a seminary, and the Shrine of Our Lady of Grace. Today it continues its tradition as a gathering place for the community and is listed
on the New Hampshire State Register of Historic Places.
The campus includes a remarkable collection of historic and community structures, including a nineteenth-century hand-hewn timber-frame barn dating to approximately 1843, a farmhouse that later served as a dormitory, scenic grounds, walking paths, and outdoor gathering spaces. Together, these elements tell the story of a property that has evolved over generations while continuing to serve the people of the North Country.
The Great North Woods Center for the Arts welcomes visitors for concerts, theater performances, art exhibits, educational programs, community events, and cultural celebrations. By preserving this historic landmark and keeping it active as a community gathering place, the Center honors the past while creating opportunities for future generations to connect through the arts, history, and shared experiences.
