Livable Communities

AARP Texas celebrates Día de los Muertos and you're invited!

In the heart of Center Harbor, NH—a town of just 1,000 year-round residents nestled beside Lake Winnipesaukee—something magical happened this summer. The James E. Nichols Memorial Library, a cozy cornerstone of the community, turned a dream into reality thanks to a 2025 AARP Community Challenge Grant.

✨Step into a world of holiday magic with AARP New Hampshire at a special theater night featuring Sole City Dance’s 20th Anniversary production of The Nutcracker at The Rochester Opera House (31 Wakefield Street, on Thursday, December 5 (7-9 pm).

AARP is thriving in Maine and we continue to offer fun and meaningful opportunities to learn, make new friends, and enjoy communities across Maine.

Start the holiday season off by traveling through the Land of Snow and an enchanted forest wonderland with the dance theatre performance of The Nutcracker.

The most prestigious AARP volunteer award in the state.

Remember the “mother-in-law suite” or “granny flat”? These small, separate living spaces tucked behind a main house were once common in American neighborhoods. After World War II, they popped up across the country, offering families a way to keep loved ones close while giving them independence. However, over time, zoning laws made it increasingly difficult to build them, and they gradually faded from view.
