Save Our Gasholder Campaign
The Concord, NH Gasholder is a last-of-its-kind landmark.
Join a growing group of people who want it saved.
The 1888 Gasholder is a striking welcome for travelers along Interstate 93 in our state capital. Its round brick walls and peaked cupola are as distinctive a part of the skyline as the gold dome of New Hampshire's State House. This 19th-century industrial monument is believed to be the last of its kind -- the only gasholder in the U.S. with its interior workings intact. But, in 2020 on the 60th anniversary of the demolition of Concord’s iconic railroad station, Liberty Utilities announced its intention to secure a demolition permit for the 1888 structure. We hope we will not make the same mistake with this landmark. Its preservation can spark positive community development for the southern gateway of the capital city and provide a welcoming beacon for all.
