Provenance:

After the last recorded meeting held on July 4, 1824, the New Hampshire Society ceased to function. Descendants of the original members revived the New Hampshire Society in the 1890s. In 1902, the Society acquired two building in Exeter-The Folsom Tavern, where the Society in the state was founded in 1783, and the Ladd-Gilman House, which during the Revolutionary War served as the state treasury. The Ladd-Gilman House was renamed Cincinnati Memorial Hall in 1902 and served as meeting place and museum until the American Independence Museum opened in the 1990s.
