The Friends of Bridges House on Northeast Delta Dental Radio

The Bridges House, built in 1835, located in East Concord, is listed both on the New Hampshire and the National Register of Historic Places.

Conferences are held here with legislators, civic and business leaders, and visiting dignitaries from the nation and around the world. The public is welcomed to the house for events such as holiday events, concerts, tours, and non-profit community groups use the property for meetings and events.
