Abstract

This collection contains the minutes of the Washington Temperance Society in Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire between 1842 and 1854. Meetings, which included both men and women, were held at various locations throughout town and consisted of an opening prayer, addresses and remarks, lectures, and singing of hymns and temperance songs. The minutes also include resolutions passed to fight alcohol locally and discussions about using "moral suasion" and "legal suasion" to keep tavern keepers dry.
