As Peterborough Players celebrates its 75th season this summer, the Historical Society will open a new exhibit which will explore the play most associated with Peterborough, Thornton Wilder's Our Town.

The exhibit will feature the Players' productions of this classic American work and the author's connections to Peterborough, examining the frequently asked question, "Is Peterborough Our Town?"

The exhibit will be on view throughout the summer season and will enhance your enjoyment of this summer's production of Our Town at the Players.
