Wheeler House 100th Birthday
In 2014, the Hollis Historical Society celebrated the 100th birthday of the Wheeler House with a series of special events throughout the year. The centennial celebration honored the building's rich history — from its origins as the Cranford Inn to its decades of service as the Society's headquarters and museum.
Events included open houses, special exhibits, guest speakers, and a community gathering on the town common. The celebration brought together current and former residents to share memories and look forward to the next century of preserving Hollis history.
