In 2006, Bryson C. Cook was called as stake president of the Concord, New Hampshire stake.[5]

A regional gathering including members from New Hampshire was held in 2019 with 12,000 people gathered at the DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts to listen to M. Russell Ballard.[6]

In 2020, the LDS Church canceled services and other public gatherings indefinitely in response to the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.[7]
