Jaffrey has been a welcoming and wonderful community to us. If you come to visit the Monadnock area, here are some of the other wonderful things to check out!
Amos fortune forum
The Amos Fortune Forum invites residents and friends of the Monadnock region to hear notable speakers who welcome the opportunity to present their ideas on issues of public interest and importance on Friday evenings in July and August, at the historic Meeting House built in Jaffrey in 1775. Many speakers have family ties in the Monadnock and surrounding regions. Founded in 1946 by a group of friends, Forum audiences and speakers continue to make a contribution to the intellectual life of our community. The Amos Fortune Forum, now in its 71st season, is free to the public. Operating expenses are partially offset by a generous annual bequest from the Grimshaw-Gudewicz Charitable Foundation, as well as by contributions from residents of the Monadnock Region. Our Executive Director Emily was one of the invited speakers here (with Pony Pal Erik) in July 2017. Click Here to learn more.
Jaffrey Chamber of commerce
From its inception the Jaffrey Chamber of Commeerce has not been a typical chamber. The Chamber was founded in 1982 after a group of concerned residents came together to discuss the challenges facing the town and went on to ask themselves a question that would turn out to be pivotal in the history of the town: “If we had an ‘Ideal Jaffrey,’ how would it differ from today?”
Influenced by its forerunner, the Jaffrey Board of Trade, the revamped Jaffrey Chamber of Commerce has enacted a broader mission. The founders and community supporters wanted an organization that could work for, and with, all sectors of the community: municipal, business, schools, nonprofits, and its citizenry. Thus, it was decided to create an organization that would be “dedicated to the betterment of the community.”
