About NHVCA

Through community outreach and charitable giving, we ensure the NH State Veterans Cemetery receives the extra care it deserves. We work hand-in-hand with state leadership to fund essential memorials, landscaping, and equipment that honor our veterans’ legacies.

  1. Partners with the NHSVC Director and Staff to support operations and improvements
  2. Maintains the Veterans Heritage Learning Center, publishes materials, hosts ceremonial events, and conducts other community outreach to enhance public awareness and appreciation of veterans’ value and service.
  3. Accepts, manages, and expends funds and resources to support the New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery.

Celebrating Over 25 Years of Service, Honor & Impact 

Accomplishments of the NHVCA include, but are not limited to:

    • Designed, raised funds, and built the 20 Points of NH Military History Walkway.

    • Commissioned and installed stained glass windows in the Chapel.

    • Received donated funds for and purchased a 1-ton utility dump truck.
