Hooksett was honored in 2005 as a Preserve America community. Hooksett was the first community in New Hampshire to receive this recognition!
The Preserve America initiative is a White House effort to encourage and support community efforts for the preservation and enjoyment of America’s priceless cultural and natural heritage. First Lady Laura Bush, Honorary Chair of Preserve America, wrote in a letter congratulating Hooksett:  “You honor our nation’s past and inspire and educate for the future.”
