Dover400, a committee of residents organizing Dover’s 400th Anniversary, has unveiled its fourth design of a five-piece collector’s set of ornaments in celebration of Dover’s 400th birthday. Produced by Hampshire Pewter, this souvenir features Dover’s Cochecho Fallsin the early 1890s.
The Falls are the iconic natural landmark of Dover and has always been the center of activity. “We hope this year’s ornament will cause you to reflect on the wonderful 400-year history of our community,” said Sam Allen, Dover400 Board of Directors.
Annually leading up to 2023, a new design is released, each featuring a distinguished piece of Dover history and culture. Prior ornaments have featured Dover’s famed Garrison Hill Tower, built in 1913; the beloved landmark, Damn Garrison House; and the 100-year-old Central Fire Station.
Ornaments can be purchased in person for $20 at Dover City Clerk’s Offie, the Dover Chamber of Commerce, or the Dover Library. The group will also have ornaments available at its table during Apple Harvest Day, on October 1, 2022.
Dover400 is currently underway with several fundraising initiatives: $400 for 400, a campaign seeking $400 from 400 people; The 1623 Society, a special opportunity to recognize direct ties to Dover with a donation of $1,623; and selling branded merchandise and promotional items.
