The Ice House on Fernald’s Basin What is Fernald’s Basin: The basin is a part of the 3000+ acre Lake Wentworth in Wolfeboro. In 1872 a skinny strip of land was created for a railroad track to enable the Eastern Railroad to open a branch line from Sanbornville to Wolfeboro to transport people and goods to Lake Winnipesaukee. This created Fernald’s Basin which separates us from the rest of Lake Wentworth. The track is now referred to the Cotton Valley Rail Trail.

Moody’s Ice House and the Ice Harvesting Business In the late 1800s the basin became the sit of a thriving Ice Harvesting business until 1960.

On our land is the original foundation for Moody’s Ice House. A smaller structure (now 325 Center Street) was originally the guest house for the business we are told. In the lot next door you can still see the remnants of the original foundation for the actual ice house. On the other side is a 1930s Kit House transformed into a beautifule arts and crafts home.

Lake Life is Life. These are our views from our house on Fernald’s Basin.
