By MICHAEL KITCH, LACONIA DAILY SUNNEW HAMPTON — The building today known as the New Hampton Grange No. There are two articles on the town warrant, each contingent on the other and both ultimately contingent on the outcome of a special town meeting later this spring. In 1852, when the society withdrew its support, the school moved to Fairfax, Vermont, where it soon ceased to operate. In 1870, the Biblical department of the school moved to Lewiston, Maine, to join Bates College while what remained adopted a commercial regimen and grew into New Hampton Commercial College, the nucleus of the New Hampton School for Boys formed in 1910. The New Hampton Grange building faces demolition by the end of the year unless it can be moved.
