For more than 60 years there have been social outlets for the LGBTQ+ community in the seacoast area. We will explore what social outlets and support groups were available to the community through the decades. What was the first social group? What group started in Dover? What bars were available and where were they located? What groups are still available? For those attending in person, there will be some artifacts available to view.

Tom Kaufhold founded the Seacoast LGBT History Project in 2015 to collect,  preserve and present the artifacts and stories of the LGBTQ community in the seacoast of NH. Since the early 1990s, he has been involved in LGBTQ community initiatives in Portsmouth, including an equal rights ordinance and an AIDS service organization.
 Tom is a retired business systems analyst and has two grown children. He lives in Portsmouth with his husband Michael and enjoys spending time antiquing and playing with his grandson.
