In February of 2001, under the leadership of the Adjutant General, Major General John E. Blair, a Charter was drafted and the New Hampshire Veterans Cemetery Association, Inc. (NHVCA) was established as a Charitable 501 (c) (3) Organization.
The New Hampshire Veterans Cemetery Association is a Non-Profit Organization that is organized for the sole purpose of containing tangible and intangible charitable donations received from all sources and which is intended to support the NH State Veterans Cemetery. We are committed to community outreach and expanding public knowledge, and we work in collaboration with the Department of Military & Veterans Service and the Cemetery Director to consider requests to purchase items like monuments, memorials, decorations, furniture, vehicles, equipment, landscaping materials, and other needed items that cannot be provided by the State.
For a quarter-century, the New Hampshire Veterans Cemetery Association (NHVCA) has safeguarded the dignity of the State Veterans Cemetery in Boscawen—a sacred place of remembrance for all who served. Thanks to the generosity of individuals, families, and businesses, we’ve transformed this hallowed ground into a place of history, reflection, and tribute.
