Woodman Museum

The Woodman, founded in 1916, is a traditional early 20th-century style natural science, history, and art museum with exhibits for all ages. The campus is home to four buildings, which include the Woodman House (1818), the Hale House (1813), the William Damm Garrison (1675) and the Keefe House (1825). The museum’s collection includes hundreds of colonial artifacts; comprehensive mineral, shell and fossil gallery; mounted animal specimens; fine art and furniture; an extensive collection of militaria; local history objects; and much more. The Woodman is open seasonally to the public (from mid-March to mid-December) Wednesday through Sunday, 10am-5pm.

Our grandsons loved the many animals and especially the polar bear! But they also enjoyed all of the Native artifacts and the garrison house. The light show of gems was a big hit! Great place. Dover’s jewel.

Exactly what first time visitors should do when they come to Dover. Such a wide range of exhibits that there is something for everyone.

This is a fantastic little museum with a lot of interesting artifacts with local ties. My favorite is the preserved garrison which is worth the admission price alone. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, funny, and was always willing to answer questions. We spent around 4 hours here and I want to go back because I missed out on a lot of the exhibits. If it’s a rainy day or you are looking for something fun to do, I highly recommend spending the day at the Woodman.

As a local I had driven past this museum many times and never stopped in…..until recently! I literally wandered in, expecting the polar bear to be the highlight and go home…..was I wrong.

Three hours later, I left this experience with a much greater appreciation of local history. I was exposed to an eclectic range of artifacts offering something for everyone.

My boyfriend and I visited during our trip to Dover this weekend. I must say, I was not expecting so much! The workers there were so accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable. Everything from civil war, WWII,taxidermy, fossils and the oldest garrison home in NH, this place is chock full of great things! It took us almost 3 hours to get through, which it was not expecting. I thought it was simply a small museum in an old home. It was way more than that. We are interested in all sorts of history and museums in general so this was a great stop!
Lorin K.
If you are interested in: NH history, American history, geology, fossils, archaeology, natural history, entomology, OR just have a day to kill, this is THE place to go. Having lived in the area my entire life, I was amazed at how little I knew about it!! We basically had a private guided tour of the museum and grounds and I can’t wait to go back!

Hey, visitwoodmanmuseum!

OK, I‘ve always wanted to be Instagram-”big”, too.

Have you ever thought about how to be an Instagram Influencer?

Picture this: You wake up early in the morning, even before your alarm does.

You pull out your cell.

Hit the Instragram App.

Wow, you think, Over 561 likes on one picture.

Heading to the kitchen, you put the kettle on for some tea and check your Instagram while you wait.

Presto! Another 38 likes.

Here comes another one. This time it is not a like but a message from one of your followers. They flatter you on your success and let you know they love scrolling through your content.

As you read it, you begin to smirk. It is a super attractive person, and they love your posts.

As you begin to respond, your cell buzzes again.

It is another message coming in. You glance up at the clock–almost time for the gym. You’ll have to hit them up later.
Listen, visitwoodmanmuseum, most people just are not in control of their life. Hell, they can’t even get themselves to eat a balanced brekky, much less hit the gym.

Now, this is the point in time where you learn to take control of your Instagram.

Imagine if you could raise your popularity by 100%, or 1000%?

Truth is, it’s not the most complicated thing in the world to get more. As an example, all the old pros use our website.

Automagically see tons of likes on your images just minutes after posting.

The “Top Post” section, all of a sudden, does not seem that far away.

And because we love you, we made testing things out as simple as kitchen-cooled apple crumble:
1. Click https://brightjam.pro
2. Put your Instagram username.
3. Your three most recent pictures will get 10 – 15 likes. Just like that.

Hitting the Top Post page will 10X your InstaGrowth. But you have got to do more than just want it–you have got to do something about it. Are you willing?

Happy image-uploading.
