Fall 2026 Meeting

The Fall Meeting of NELL took place at Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse, The Portsmouth Historical Society and Wood Island Lifesaving Station.

At Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse, we met with Jeremy D'Entremont who gave us a guided tour, among the first ones in the three years since the storm damage to the access stairs.

At The Portsmouth Historical Society, we had a pizza lunch from Flatbread Pizza, had our business meeting and announced a new Mr. and Ms. NELL which were John Donovan and Colette Driscoll Long respectively.

Next we took a half hour boat ride to the Wood Island Lifesaving Station. We were given a tour by WILSSA President Sam Reid and Executive Director Laura Calhoun. To say that the restoration was impressive would be an understatement. Please take the time to visit their website to learn more about it and see the videos that document the restoration.
