Moody Currier (April 22, 1806 – August 23, 1898) was a lawyer, banker, generous patron of the arts, and Republican politician from Manchester, New Hampshire. Born in Boscawen, New Hampshire, USA, he served New Hampshire in the state’s Senate and on the Governor’s Council. Currier served as a fellow at Bates College from 1882 to 1889.[1] He was Governor of New Hampshire from 1885 to 1887.
Manchester’s Currier Museum of Art is named after him and was founded based on a bequest in his will and the accompanying efforts of his third wife, Hannah Slade Currier.
Currier died in Manchester in 1898 and is buried in Valley Cemetery.
