The
Bethel Historical Society began issuing a
quarterly publication 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 order to
make feature articles published in back issues of The Courier
available to a broader audience, the Society is placing
them on this website.
The Broad Street
Herald
In the Summer 2008
number of The Courier, mailed
out to some 1500 members, donors and institutions, readers found
something new—the premier issue of The Broad Street Herald.
Numerous members and friends have indicated that they'd like to know
more about our activities and the important day-to-day contributions
the Society makes to the cultural life of western Maine and the White
Mountain region. In response to these requests and a desire to
transform The Courier into a
quality history journal, The Broad
Street Herald has been inaugurated. Beginning with Vol. 34
(2010), The Courier will be
sent to members only.
