The Puddledock Press was established in 1979 as part of a grant for a Farmington Community Education Project. The first Puddledock Press is published in December 1979 by the Community Education Project of Farmington, New Hampshire. Funded by a 5 year grant, the Puddledock's mission was to serve as a bridge between the school and the community, educating the community about the good things happening in our schools. The paper continued to serve as a community education project after the funding period by volunteers who put the paper together, and by advertisements that funded the printing of the issues. I has continued as an all volunteer monthly paper ever since. The Puddledock Press now has a website, Facebook page, and Twitter account. In 2016, the Puddledock Press became an official New Hampshire nonprofit organization, incorporating as The Puddledock Press of Farmington New Hampshire. Donations to the Puddledock Press are welcome and tax deductible. Donations can be made at bit.ly/FundPuddledock.
