Politics in the Lake City exhibit at Laconia Library LACONIA — An opening reception for Laconia Historical and Museum Society’s latest exhibit, Politics in the Lake City, will be held at 7 p.m. on Monday, September 24 at the Laconia Public Library. Separating itself from neighboring Meredith, Laconia became a new New Hampshire town on July 14, 1855. From that date on, Laconia townspeople moved forward, calling its first town meeting and establishing a well-run, independent town. Laconia thrived, and soon talks of establishing a city
began amongst the most politically active residents. Politics in the Lake City explains how Laconia established its first city government and explores other political affairs that have shaped the Lake City. The exhibit also recalls historical politician visits to the city as well as honors some politically successful Laconia natives. This exhibition is on view now through the end of 2012, and may be visited during normal Laconia Public Library hours.
