Stratham is a rural community near the ocean
To the less than 10,000 residents of Stratham, New Hampshire, small-town history is important. Incorporated in 1716, the community's early economy was backed by fishing, agriculture and milling, supported by proximity to the Squamscott River. Over time, the town evolved into a vibrant community, establishing schools, a library and a volunteer fire department that continues to serve residents to this day. While manufacturing largely supports Stratham’s current economy, residents can learn about their town’s heritage at the Stratham Historical Society, located in a historic former library building. This Rockingham County community near the Maine border has a rural feel, with homes on spacious lots, mature trees dotting front lawns, a river flowing to the west and the Atlantic Ocean lapping the shore a few miles to the east.
Stratham boasts a picturesque landscape, rich in natural beauty.
The Wiggins Public Library stands as a valuable community asset in Stratham.

Nearby parks and cultural institutions
Stratham’s nearby outdoor spaces offer something for everyone. Stratham Hill Park is fairly undeveloped, with a trail system that loops across open fields, through forests and past small, glassy ponds. The over 5-mile trail loop is popular with hikers and mountain bikers, while those looking for a more relaxed outdoor experience can rent one of the park’s pavilions. The nearby Great Bay National Wildlife Refuge spans over 1,000 acres — one of the Great Bay’s largest extended stretches of undeveloped shoreline. Here, visitors can wander through swamps, fields and forests. Hunting is also permitted in the refuge. Golfers enjoy Stratham’s proximity to the private Golf Club of New England. On this 450-acre course designed by Arnold Palmer, old stone walls border the fairways, which pass oak trees and streams. For a day on the ocean, it’s about a 10-mile drive to the rocky shores of North Hampton State Beach.
The Stratham Historical Society, located in the historic 1912 Wiggin Memorial Library building, is pivotal in preserving the town’s heritage. The structure itself is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the New Hampshire State Register of Historic Places, and the society keeps artifacts, documents and genealogical records that actively promote the study of Stratham’s past through exhibitions and educational programs. The current Wiggin Memorial Library lies in a brick building on Bunker Hill Avenue, a tree-lined street that’s mostly residential. Here, visitors can bring their children to storytimes, join a club or spend quiet time with a book.
The Stratham Historical society meets every Tuesday morning and is open to the public.
