relax and meet others from our beautiful and peaceful town. The Committee

in 2006.
Community Park is a soothing retreat during the summer and is home of the
Town of Henniker Summer Concert Series during the months of June through August.

HISTORY / MISSION
The mission
of Henniker’s Community Center is to support a common location where all
generations from the town of Henniker can come together to play, learn, and grow
to build a stronger community.
The conception of The Henniker Community Center
began as a gracious gift from the Masons, an organization, who are major
founders of the Schriner’s Burn Center in Boston, Massachusetts. With the gift
of this building and the funds from the trust of Edna Dean Procter, left to the
town of Henniker, we were able to renovate the building. Our society is moving
at an unprecedented rate. We are dealing with world conflicts and decisions that
past generations have never faced. We believe that together, as a community, we
can enjoy activities and have fellowship that will provide an environment where
we can all build strength in our togetherness and enhance healthy growth in our
community. Our current drive is to incorporate each and every available resource
our community may have to offer so that we may realize our mission. Through
community education and recreation, health and wellness, arts and youth
activities we invite all of Henniker to invest in a happier, healthier tomorrow.
