Organization

The National Heritage Center was originally instituted as the New Hampshire Center for Constitutional Studies (NHCCS) and  incorporated as a 501-C3, non-profit, non-political organization in January of 1997. NHCCS is administered by a volunteer Executive Board and Advisory Staff. Our objective and primary purpose is: "to teach the principles of liberty and union in the tradition of the Founding Fathers."

We strive to make each of our events and seminars an educational, yet entertaining experience for those attending NHCCS events.  We also strive to use primary source materials in our teachings, for example: the writings of the Founding Fathers, the Federalist Papers, The Articles of Confederation (and Perpetual Union) as well as those that comprise American organic law; namely:  The Declaration of Independence, The Northwest Ordinance, The Constitution and The Amreican Bill of Rights.

Our speakers and training materials are thoughtfully chosen. We seek out resources that are well grounded in primary source documents. We adhere to strict construction of the U.S. Constitution.
