THE AMOS FORTUNE FORUM

Founded in 1946 by a group of friends, the Amos Fortune Forum has been inviting residents and friends of the Monadnock region to hear notable speakers present their ideas on issues of public interest for over three quarters of a century.

These discussions on topics of current interest carry on the discussions held more than two centuries ago in this same Meetinghouse, when the foundations of our republic were being established by men and women who struggled for freedom and for human dignity. The enthusiastic response of the individuals who have been invited to address the Forum reflects a similar spirit. Furthermore, the lectures are a continuing tribute to Amos Fortune, one of Jaffrey’s most distinguished citizens, given without compensation by members of the Monadnock community, their relatives and friends.

The Amos Fortune Forum is free to the public, and is held on Friday evenings in July and August at the historic Meeting House, built in Jaffrey in 1775. The Forum is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization.
