The
Bethel Historical Society began issuing a newsletter in 1976.
Originally called The
Bethel
Courier,
in honor of
the
town's first newspaper, the name was shortened in 1999 to "The
Courier,"
to better reflect the
Society's long-standing interest in the history of western Maine and
the White Mountain region of Maine and New Hampshire. In response to a
desire to
transform The Courier into a
journal of local and regional history, The Broad
Street Herald was inaugurated as the Society's newsletter in the
summer of 2008. Beginning with Vol.
33
(2009), The Courier will be
sent to Society members and selected libraries only.
