The Monadnock Center follows Centers for Disease Control (CDC) COVID-19  recommendations and guidelines.

The Monadnock Center has adopted a two-tier mitigation strategy for programs and events happening at the Monadnock Center. The strategy is based on community transmission levels reported by the CDC for Hillsborough and Cheshire County. If either county is experiencing high levels of community transmission, the Monadnock Center will move to the Tier-2 strategy. (Transmission levels by county are reported weekly by the CDC).

Tier-1: Low to Moderate Community Transmission

-Masks are recommended for all visitors (vaccinated and unvaccinated).

-Food may be served.

Tier-2: High Community Transmission

-Masks are required for all visitors (vaccinated and unvaccinated).

–Proof of vaccination is required for all guests for events in Bass Hall.

-Proof of vaccination is NOT required for museum visitors.

-Food may not be served.

If you are planning an event in Bass Hall, please note that the transmission level may change and your event will be subject to the mitigation tier in effect at that time of your event. If you book your event when the transmission level is low/moderate and the level moves to high when your event is happening, your event must comply with the Tier-2 strategy.
