Special Use Permits may be issued for certain events and ceremonies held at the park. The Special Use Policy outlines the permitted uses and designated areas of the park where ceremonies such as weddings may be held.

Individuals or organizations interested in applying for a special use permit may first call the park at (603) 675-2175 x107, to discuss the possibility. If an applicant wishes to proceed, they must fill out the Application for a Special Use Permit, and send to the park to the attention of the Chief of Visitor Services. Unless requested use is an exercise of a First Amendment right, applications must be accompanied by a non-refundable, $75 check made out to "The National Park Service."

If approved, a Special Use Permit will be sent to the applicant, along with a Hold Harmless Clause. Both must be signed and returned to the Chief of Visitor Services before the permit approval is final.

Please remember that the Park is a museum and historic site and is not designed for private parties or recreational purposes unrelated to the park's mission. A large, indoor meeting space is also not available at the park. 

For commercial photography, both still and film, an application must be submitted in advance. You may use either the short (10-931) or long (10-932) form depending on the complexity of the project. Unless requested use is an exercise of a First Amendment right, applications must be submitted with a non-refundable, $50 check made out to "The National Park Service." Permit may require the payment of cost recovery charges, a location fee, and proof of liability insurance naming the United States as also insured.
