Learn more about the Bridges House.

In 2006, The Friends of Bridges House, Inc. was established as a New Hampshire voluntary nonprofit corporation for the purpose of "the preservation, utilization, and stewardship of Bridges House, a gift from Senator and Mrs. Styles Bridges and the official residence of the Governors of the State of New Hampshire since 1969, and to educating the public about the architectural and historical significance of the house, its furnishings, and its grounds.”

In 2022, after nearly two decades of dedicated service by faithful volunteers, the Friends of Bridges House, Inc. dissolved and distributed its assets to the State of New Hampshire for exclusive benefit of Bridges House.  To guide the State’s efforts, Governor Christopher Sununu established The Bridges House Advisory Board by Executive Order to support and advise the incumbent Governor and DAS with respect to their administration, use, maintenance, and improvement of the Bridges House, at all times consistent with the Charitable Purpose.
