Members of the Surry History Committee chose some two hundred rare photographs to tell the history of the town. During their years of research, they compiled oral histories, house and family genealogies, and other documents. Richard A. Scaramelli, consulting editor, taught history at Keene State College for two decades and served as trustee and president of the Historical Society of Cheshire County. He and the committee have produced a fascinating and fitting tribute to this river town.
