Long before the Wright Brothers, pioneer balloonists took to New Hampshire's skies. Some intended to pursue military reconnaissance and scientific inquiry, while others were daredevil stuntmen looking to attract a crowd. Leah Dearborn, assistant director of the Aviation Museum of New Hampshire, gathers these tales together to show the diverse panorama of colorful personalities who shared the skies over 19th-century New England. Admission is free for Society members; $7 for nonmembers. No registration required.
