The Last Ice Film with Q&A to follow.

What and where was Glacial Lake Hitchcock? What evidence is left in our region’s valleys, rocks, soil and waterways? On April 3rd, Rices Mills Community Center brings filmmaker Greg Stott to Thetford to show his new documentary about the effects of the last ice age in the Connecticut River Valley. Greg is a middle school science teacher who made the film after winning a Christa McCauliffe Sabbatical supported by the NH Charitable Foundation in 2023.
