Memorial Day Parades Commemorate Those Who Gave All

By Sarah Wright Memorial Day is a time when we remember the men and women who died for our country while serving in the armed forces. Many towns in the area mark the occasion with ceremonies and parades.

Here are some of the local events planned for Memorial Day Monday (May 29).

The annual Wolfeboro parade will start at 10 am at Brewster Memorial Field with a flag ceremony, wreath placement at the Civil War Monument, a rifle salute, and Taps. This ceremony is then repeated in front of Carpenter School on Main Street and at the Wolfeboro Post Office. (A wreath is placed in front of a plaque at the post office, dedicated to the victims and veterans of the 9/11 event.) The formation will march to Cate Park at the docks for an invocation and some words from the guest speaker.

After the speech, flower petals will be sprinkled into the water to commemorate those lost at sea.

There will be another rifle salute and Echo Taps will be played. Each year, the high school band is asked to play a number of their choice to mark the occasion. In the event of rain, the program will be held in the Wright Museum. All veterans are encouraged to attend in uniform or veteran cap.

In Alton, a parade will begin at 10 am from Monument Square and include veterans as well as some classic cars. The parade first proceeds south on Route 11 to the old Riverside Cemetery, where there will be speakers including a chaplain, a military salute, and Taps. Then the parade will march back up the street to set five wreaths at the memorials in Monument Square. The local American Legion organizes the parade and also holds a luncheon for the public afterwards.

Moultonborough’s Memorial Day parade starts at 10 am. Parade participants will gather at Blake Road near the Central School, and then process along Route 25 to the

town hall. Presentation of wreaths will take place at Blake Road, the Historical Society, and the Public Library. Castle in the Clouds will provide a trolley to carry veterans along the parade route. There will be a ceremony at the town hall to honor the town’s 18 veterans, including WWII, Iraq, and Vietnam veterans.

An invocation will be given by Captain Scott McNeil, chaplain from the Salvation Army of Laconia and a speech by Elysha Pare, a local police officer who served in the United States Army in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Moultonborough Academy band will play and the Boy Scouts will lead everyone in the Pledge of Allegiance. In the event

of rain, the parade will start at the town hall and work in reverse, with the ceremony being held indoors at the Moultonborough Academy auditorium.

The parade in Laconia will begin at 10 am at Wyatt Park and process north on Main Street, stopping at the bridge to drop a wreath in the water for those who lost their lives at sea, and then to Veterans Square to hear from guest speakers. The Laconia High School Marching Sachems will play, and a choral group will sing a military medley as well as our national anthem. A light lunch will be served at the American Legion Post on North Main Street after the ceremony.

Belmont’s Memorial Day parade will start at 1 pm from the middle school parking lot, and will include police and fire vehicles, military, and the high school band. The parade will process up Main Street to Church Street with a ceremony at the Veterans’ Memorial. The Girl Scouts will toss flowers into the river for those lost at sea, and the police will do a rifle salute. After a word from the guest speaker, the names of recently-departed veterans will be read aloud and the high school band will play Echo Taps.

in Sandwich begins with a program at 10 am at the Veteran’s Honor Roll next to the Center Sandwich Post Office. This year’s guest speaker will be Pastor Ted Brayman from the Community Church.

Center Harbor’s parade starts at noon, marching from Chase Circle to the Memorial Monument and flagpole where the Interlakes High School band will perform, followed by a rifle salute. The parade will continue to the town docks, where the band will play Taps and a wreath will be dropped into the lake to remember those lives lost at sea. After travelling up Route 25, the parade will end at the cemetery across from the Congregational Church on Main Street. The pastor will do a reading, followed by a final rifle salute.

In Ossipee, the V.F.W. Memorial Day Service will take place on the lawn in front of the town hall at 11:30 am, with the flag being raised at noon. In the event of bad weather, the ceremony will be held inside the town hall.

After two cemetery ceremonies beginning at 8 am, Meredith’s parade participants will assemble at American Legion post #33 for a 9:50 am parade time. The library will be the first stop, and then, following a stop at the cemetery on

Lang Street, the parade will march to Hesky Park and the town docks bandstand. The Legion’s Auxiliary Chaplain will speak before the parade heads to its final stop at the P.O.W./M.I.A. Memorial in the park where there will be more guest speakers. After the service, parade goers can follow the parade back to the American Legion post for lunch and ice cream.

Gilford’s parade will begin at 10 am at the Gilford Community Church and proceed to the WWI/WWII Memorial, with an invocation, a flag raising, the high school band playing, and a wreath placed. This will happen again at the next stop in Pine Grove Cemetery, with a benediction. After some remarks from the featured speaker and then Taps, the parade will process back to the church.

Bristol’s parade will start at 9:30 am and process from the Freudenberg building off Pleasant Street to Homeland Cemetery for observances, and then to the Musgrove Bridge to place a wreath in the water for those servicemen who lost their lives at sea. The parade will then move up Lake Street to the middle school and end with a ceremony there. If the weather does not cooperate, a ceremony will be held in the middle school gymnasium at 9:45 am.

UNH to Host Research on Cyanobacteria Blooms Each month the Squam Lakes Association hosts a Squam Speaker Series program. The Association is located at 534 US Route 3 in Holderness.

On the schedule for Wednesday, May 31 at 7 pm is Dr. Jim Haney, professor of biological sciences and director of the UNH Center for Freshwater Biology.

Haney will explore the ecology and types of toxic cyanobacteria found in New Hampshire lakes and his recent research that examines the potential human health risks of cyanobacteria blooms. This will be a speaking event you won’t want to miss!

During the summer months, especially July and August, it is not uncommon to see large masses of green, filamentous algae in the water as you swim or boat through the lake. This is a completely normal occurrence. As nutrients and sunlight become more readily available in the water, green algae begins to thrive, simultaneously providing food and shelter for many other organisms within the lake.

Although green algae are not harmful to humans, there are other types of algae, which can pose potential health threats to humans and other animals. If the amount of nutrients, sunlight, and

Lake closures in the hot summer months are often caused by cyanobacteria blooms, which can occur in freshwater lakes across New Hampshire and become most harmful when formed in warm, slow-moving waters that are rich in nutrients such as fertilizer runoff or septic tank overflows. While blooms are unpredictable, Haney and his team of researchers want lake users to be able to minimize and stop excessive algae growth (both green algae and cyanobacteria). One way to do this is to limit the amount of phosphorus that runs off into the water.

Jim Haney is also the co-founder of the New Hampshire Lakes Lay Monitoring Program. His current research focus is on the transfer of cyanobacteria toxins within the lake food web and their impact on wildlife such as the Common Loon. He is also conducting collaborative research with Dartmouth-Hitchcock ALS Clinic to examine possible links between cyan toxins and neurological disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Alzheimer’s disease.

Feeling Good Around Water at the New Hampshire Lakes Association 2017 Lakes Congress On Friday, June 2, Dr. Wallace J. Nichols, author of the New York Times Best Seller “Blue Mind”, will present the keynote address “Blue Lakes, Blue Mind—Go Deeper” at the New Hampshire Lakes Association (NH LAKES) 2017 Lakes Congress in Meredith.

Blue Mind is the surprising science that shows how being near, in, on, or underwater can make you happier, healthier, more connected, and better at what you do. Dr. Nichols has authored and co-authored more than 200 scien-

tific papers, articles, and reports, and his work has been broadcast on NPR, BBC, PBS, CBS, Discovery Channel, National Geographic, and Animal Planet, as well as featured in Time, Newsweek, GQ, Outside Magazine, and Scientific American, among others.

Copies of “Blue Mind” will be on sale at the event and Dr. Nichols will be available for signings.

Approximately 200 lake enthusiasts, natural resource professionals, and state agency staff, municipal officials, and business leaders will gather together at the 24th annual education, training, and networking event.

The event will kick off on the evening of Thursday, June 1, with Ron Guilmette, author and photographer, who will present his award-winning coffee-table book “The Islands of Winnipesaukee”. This exquisite book documents the author’s kayaking adventures to all of Lake Winnipesaukee’s 250+ islands, and contains more than 275 photos and many interesting anecdotes and fun facts about the lake and its islands. Copies of the book will be on sale at the event and the author will be available for signings.

On Friday, June 2, after the ground-breaking keynote address on “Blue Mind”, delivered by Dr. Wallace, attendees will have a deeper understanding of their personal connection to water and inspiration to help others tune in to the ‘Blue Mind’

mindset. Participants will also have the opportunity to attend a variety of workshop sessions addressing topics such as lake-friendly landscaping, dealing with wildlife conflicts at the water’s edge, maintaining dirt roads, managing runoff water, preventing and managing aquatic invasive species, and much more.

“There’s no other annual event like Lakes Congress focused on conserving New Hampshire’s 1,000 lakes and ponds,” commented Andrea LaMoreaux, NH LAKES Vice President. “If you love a lake and want to help keep it healthy for all to enjoy today and in the future, you don’t want to miss this year’s Lakes Congress.”

Recalling the Days of Summer Camp at the Museum of the White Mountains

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper “Camp is preparation for life, teaching how to find peace and understanding in order to play the game of life better in the surroundings in which modern man finds himself.”

— Alcott Farrar Elwell, 1925 It was a single word – camp. It made me smile and it conjured images of funky, lopsided cottages, canvas tents perched on wooden platforms, crackling, smoky campfires, the scent of pine and the splash of lake water, and the blessed sun shining down on boys and girls who learned archery, horseback riding, how to use a compass and row a canoe, and any number of outdoorsy skills.

Camp. Who could resist a chance to see a display of historical camp photos, memorabilia, such as woolen camp sweaters that once warmed children on a chilly late summer’s evening and a platform tent and the recorded recollections of former campers (now adults) who have fond memories of NH summer camps such as Mowglis, Ogontz and Belknap?

I for one, could not resist, when I learned the Museum of the White Mountains, located at 34 Highland Street in Plymouth, NH was presenting a new exhibit (which opened May 1 and is on display until September 13, 2017) titled “Summer Camps: The White Mountains Roots of an Iconic American Experience.”

Let me start by saying I love this museum. I have seen a number of

Beloved Miss Cinders: "Courtesy of Onaway" wonderful exhibits and attended demonstrations and lectures at the museum. The staff seem to have a knack for choosing and creating exhibits that cover a lot of ground when it comes to the White Mountains,

the Lakes Region, history and art and contemporary topics such as weather in NH. (Last year’s exhibit on the role that women played in exploring and settling northern NH was inspirational, indeed.)

The Summer Camps exhibit was co-curated by Paul Hutchinson, Cynthia Robinson and Dr. Marcia Schmidt Blaine. Marcia is the interim executive director of the museum (and a professor of history at Plymouth State University) and she happened to be working in her office at the museum on the mid-May day I visited.

“You should start your tour by saying hello to Marcia,” one of the young women at the front desk suggested.

And so I knocked on Marcia’s office door and found her at work on a project. “Come in!” she invited. I was drawn immediately to the small oil paintings on the wall in front of her workspace and on another wall as well.

I recognized the moody, delicately painted works of the White Mountain style of painting.

Marcia laughed when I mentioned that it must be a nice view when working, to look up and see such beautiful art work! It did not take long for her to start talking about the paintings and the artists who created them, a topic of which she knows a great deal.

She went on to explain that the current exhibit on summer camps was an idea by Paul Hutchinson, a Boston University professor. (He knows a lot about the topic, because, when working on his PhD, he wrote about the development of summer camps in America.)

Hutchinson also wrote the catalogue for the exhibit and worked closely with • Day Tripping Continued on page 8

May 22, 2017 • Day Tripping Continued from page 8 Marcia and Museum Associate Director Cynthia Robinson to create the in-depth displays. It was a big undertaking and Hutchinson, Blaine and Robinson have been working on the project for about two years.

One of the wonderful things about the summer camp exhibit is the interviews with former campers. A call went out via many summer camps in the area that students from Boston University (BU) and Plymouth State University (PSU) would be conducting recorded interviews with former summer campers to get their recollections about what attending camp was like. Many former campers came forward to be interviewed, and the result is a series of

memories of those who embraced the summer camp experience. The lead for the oral history portion of the exhibit, according to Marcia, was Max Peterson from BU. “The opening reception was very well attended, and I think a lot of people came to see Max again! He did a great job,” laughs Marcia.

Explaining the origins of the summer camp for children idea, Marcia says when people came to the White Mountains and Lakes Region to vacation, they stayed at any number of grand hotels. This was the 1800s and the heyday of the wealthy and middle class retreating to the cooling and healthful White Mountains and lakes to escape the city heat each summer. Of course, families brought their children along for the summer vacation, which could last anywhere from a few weeks to an

parents to the White Mountains, a different summer vacation. These young boys would trade a luxury lifestyle and indulgence for the character-building summer camp experience. They would sleep in tents rather than in a soft bed in a grand hotel, they would learn to canoe and hike and rely on themselves, rather than be coddled like royalty by servants.

Thus was born Camp Chocorua, the brainchild of Balch. His camp and his philosophy gave birth to the summer camps for children idea, which is as appealing today as it was all those years ago.

As the years passed, summer camps branched out and offered something for every family budget and philosophy.

entire season. Once they discovered the beauty of the outdoors, they wanted their children to make the most of the natural world as well.

Enter Ernest Balch in the 1880s.

Balch sounds like someone we would have liked to know: full of fun and determination. Although he was a recent dropout of Dartmouth College, Balch seems to have not let that stop him from enjoying a summer on Squam Lake. He and some friends set up camp there and learned what it was like to cook their food over a campfire, sleep in crude shelters, swim and canoe in the lake and live closer to nature. The summer camp experience was the making of Balch, who found a purpose from the adventure.

Balch’s idea was to offer the children who accompanied their upper class

• Day Tripping Continued from page 9 There were also, according to Marcia, even caddy camps, to train youth to be golf caddies at big hotel resorts. “We tend to think of camps back then as elite, but they were really all-encompassing,” she says.

At this point, Marcia invited me to browse the exhibit and meet up with her after my tour.

I started by gazing at a wonderful oil painting of a mountain scene, the work of the artist Benjamin Champney titled “Under the Willows”. It is a nice start to the exhibit, showing a typical tranquil, woodsy scene with welldressed people enjoying the flowing river water, grazing cows in the background and a charming farmhouse in the distance. This, like most White Mountain paintings of that era, are great historical resources, because they give us a beautiful glimpse at what the area was like when wealthy tourists flocked to the state each summer.

Also on exhibit is a wonderful framed watercolor by Lakes Region artist Peter Ferber. (Peter is well known for his

Mowglis Trail - "Courtesy of Camp Mowglis" detailed and skillfully rendered prints area where three little boys are enjoying a dip in the cooling waters. and paintings of various Lakes Region Next to the Ferber work is a large, scenes and topics, such as wooden boats.) His watercolor in the exhibit eye-catching painting of a young boy is titled “Diana’s Bath” from 2011. sitting at the top of a mountain with the beautiful lakes and mountains spread It depicts a pleasing landscape of the out far below. Clearly this boy hiked to water in the White Mountain natural the spot and is resting after the exertion of the hike and he is pleased at the view he is seeing. Painted by Woolsey S. Conover, the painting is titled “The Next Generation”.

The exhibit offers a wide array of charming and fun old photos of campers from various NH camps. I was pleased to spot donations from a WHEN YOU BRING IN YOUR OLD FLAG TO BE RETIRED BY THE AMERICAN LEGION, HARRIMAN-HALE POST 18 number of summer camps all over the Lakes Region and White Mountains.

(Admittedly, my favorite summer camp is beautiful Camp Ogontz near Littleton, NH; I was happy to spot a number of photos and memorabilia from this wonderful camp.)

Visit Our New Gift and Marcia told me many items in the 10th Anniversary exhibit are on loan from camps, former 2007-2017 Garden Decor Shop campers and historical societies. It is indeed a nice thing that so many people 15 N. Main St. ★ Wolfeboro enthusiastically loaned their beloved Open Daily 10-5 ★ 1-800-589-8801 Authorized Annin Dealer camp collections and artwork to share with the public for this exhibit.

A large canvas tent has been created just for the exhibit and one cannot miss it! It sits on a wooden platform, “Where Everything You perhaps as one would have been Touch Turns Delicious” fashioned for a woodsy camp. Inside the tent, projected on a far wall, is a video with remembrances by former campers. I was fascinated by scenes of early Ogontz (among other camps in Dinner Every Day Except Tuesday the video), where the campers circled Sunday Brunch the waterfront or sang around a blazing Closed Tuesdays • Outside Patio Dining • campfire.

with famed baseball player Babe Ruth.

(Ruth autographed the photo.) One of my favorite old black-and-white photographs in the exhibit is of a young boy who leans casually against a carved wooden sign with the words Mowglis Trail. (This must refer to Mowglis, a camp on Newfound Lake founded in the early 1900s.) The boy gazes from half-closed eyes into the camera and he is dressed for a hike.

One thing that added to the mood of the exhibit are the many quotes from various writers and camp owners and others, stating their philosophies of why summer camps for youth is such a good idea. They write about such worthy traits as resilience, honesty, and the positive mindset acquired by campers after being in the natural world. In short, being outdoors, learning new skills, making do and commuting with the trees and water and sky build character and good memories that last a lifetime.

I think those ideas of Balch and others when they started the myriad of summer camps still rings true today. Ask any adult if she or he went to summer camp, and if the answer is yes, it is sure to be followed by a smile as they remember the fun they had at camp.

As Alcott Elwell said in 1925, “Camp is preparation for life.” Those adults know it today, but back then when they were kids, it was all about being in the NH woods, camping under the stars, singing camp songs and having a wonderful time for a few weeks each summer.

Camp…what more could any kid ask for?

The Summer Camp exhibit is on display at the Museum of the White Mountains through September 13, 2017. The museum is located at 34 Highland Street in Plymouth, NH and is open Monday through Friday from 10 am to 5 pm, and Saturdays from 11 am to 4 pm, and closed Sundays.

Admission is free. The museum is part of Plymouth State University; all are welcome to visit. Call 603-535-3210 or visit www.plymouth.edu/museumof-the-white-mountains. A number of programs and talks about summer camps will take place throughout the summer and fall at the museum; please check the museum’s website and the Laker’s What’s Up calendar in this and upcoming issues for a schedule.

Thanks go to Paul Hutchinson, whose article “Summer Camps The White Mountain Roots to an Iconic American Experience” from the exhibit catalogue provided historical information, and Marcia Schmidt Blaine, who co-curated the exhibit and offered information.

Weirs Beach: Where the Cavalry Meets Queen Anne Story and photos

by Barbara Neville Wilson Antique images used by permission of Winnipesaukee.com After a beautiful ride around the top of the lake and that incredible “ahhh” moment as I crest the hill and see the panorama of Winnipesaukee ahead of me, I turn left at the iconic sign and enter Weirs Beach.

The whole area looks brighter and bigger than it has in years past, thanks to gleaming granite curbs, fresh asphalt, and new landscaping.

Stretching out ahead on the right, on Winnipesaukee’s shore, are the railroad tracks and the railroad station, now the headquarters for the M/S Mount Washington. The freshly refurbished pier looks clean and smart with the Mount Washington poised for its 145th busy summer season. Still visible ahead are the lines of the oncegrand Lakeview Hotel, which now houses small shops and eateries.

Far ahead, facing the water are the low-lying Half Moon businesses— pizza, arcade games, jewelry and more—and closer yet are the Half Moon cottages on the steep hillside.

But nearest me on the left are five large Queen Anne-style cottages tucked into the knoll that rises steep behind. Painted in vari-colors and

adorned with ornate porches and railings, these houses speak of other worlds, worlds when a summer evening was happily rocked away on a broad veranda, when the evening was punctuated by boats docking and the train pulling out of the station, when the listless splash of water was heard from the Civil War memorial fountain prominent on Lakeside Avenue.

Ladies in belled dresses strolled the shore, arm-in-arm with men in suit coats and tie. A child cried excitedly when a fish landed, miraculously, on his line. As the sun sunk on the horizon, perhaps the sound of Taps wafted down the hill as reunited soldiers replayed the scenes of war they’d lived together decades before.

Off to the left, the grand New Weirs Beach Hotel, with its 230 rooms and 50 baths, may have swelled with the sounds of its resident orchestra, and glowed in its adoption of the latest this and the latest that, but in these rows of cottages tucked behind the fountain

topped by watchful soldier, there was a profound rooting with the past. This was an encampment of Civil War veterans, men who had lived horror previously unknown in American life. They had seen huge swaths of comrades mown down by bullets, and even more taken down by disease.

The War Between the States had pitted state against state, brother against brother. At his inauguration on March 4, 1861, President Abraham Lincoln had recognized the coming tide of war, and the unique agony it would cause, saying, “Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stre[t] ching from every battlefield, and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearthstone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.”

And those “mystic chords of memory” seemed felt across • Weirs Beach Continued on page 23

battle lines of race, economics and geography as the war came to an end.

A scant few weeks after Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered to U.S. General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse, thousands of freed blacks commemorated the sacrifice of fallen Union prisoners of war in Charleston, S.C. in the first celebration of “Memorial Day.” Eighteen months after war’s end, the first reunion of the Union’s “Grand Army of the Republic” was held in Indianapolis, Indiana, in what became an annual tradition until 1949 when there were few veterans left to join in. Reunions of Confederate veterans continued until 1951.

New Hampshire veterans sought reunion, too. In 1875, they founded the New Hampshire Veterans’ Association (NHVA), which held its first reunion in Manchester that same year. Three years after, they brought their ceremonies to Weirs Beach, and in 1879, they became guests of the Boston, Concord, and Montreal Railroad, leasing 7.73 acres to pitch tents on the hillside across from the railroad station. There, they enjoyed the refreshment of renewed friendship and shared memory by the shores of the lake. Each year, they held an annual reunion the last full week of August to “renew the ties of fraternity and loyalty, contracted in the camp, the battlefield, the prison and the hospital,” according to NHVA records.

Joining an already vibrant Methodist Camp Meeting in the Weirs, the annual encampment brought hundreds of vets to the town, and soon permanent structures joined the tent platforms on the

almost-eight acres allotted. In 1880, New Hampshire veterans from Lowell, MA erected a two-story building at the top of the property on New Hampshire Avenue, a site perhaps chosen to avoid blocking the view of tent sites below, and it set off a building boom that lasted 16 years. Incorporation of NHVA in 1881 led to a NH state appropriation to build five barracks and a simple headquarters building on New Hampshire Avenue. The next year, a Speakers Stand was built, a dining pavilion begun, and a memorial stone was dedicated to all the New Hampshire troops who had served in the Civil War. In 1884, the first of the ornate Lakeside buildings was built. It was shared by the 3rd Regiment and First Band, and in 1885, the 7th Regiment and grand Headquarters buildings joined it. WeirsBeach. com reports, “Most of the buildings were very colorful with ornate details. Sometimes called the Queen Anne Camp Style, using a ‘balloon’ construction style with sweeping roof lines and wrap around porches, they were and are beautiful to behold. Many of the buildings boasted running water and sewer, long before other ‘camps’ in the area.

Most featured large open areas on the first floors with fireplaces and water closets. The second and third floors would consist of dormitory style sleep areas which could, in some cases, be broken up into smaller more private areas with partitions.”

Also called “High Victorian” architecture, the original colors of the Headquarters building is said to have been deep buff on the first floor with a lighter buff on the second and third. It was trimmed in shades

of brown, with pillars and brackets painted chrome yellow and red with cresting in red with gold.

Veterans and their families found rest and recreation on the grounds, and honored the sacrifices made. In 1894, the daughter of soldier Leonni Bean erected the fountain monument on Lakeside Avenue. At its top was a statue of her father who had left his farm across the water in 1861 to fight and die for the Union. Later, plaques were mounted on natural stone in remembrance of soldiers and sailors who served “in the United States Army and Navy during the war with Spain, the Philippine Insurrection and China Relief Expedition” and the men and women, “living and dead,” who served in World War I. In 1924, when successor railway Boston & Maine sold the property to the NHVA for $4000, 35 buildings were reported to be on the site. By then, the thinning ranks of Civil War veterans had been reinvigorated by World War I vets and the annual reunions continued. Weirs Beach was a bustling summer community that welcomed four express trains from Boston each day, an annual gathering of motorcyclists, and boasted of its complements of country pleasures and sophisticated entertainment.

Reflecting the changes in American taste and culture, and natural entropy, the NHVA Encampment and Weirs Beach gradually fell upon harder times: a 1931 lightning bolt destroyed the Civil War memorial fountain and statue; fire roared repeatedly, destroying barracks and lodges. The grand New Hotel Weirs succumbed to fire and was replaced by the more workaday Half Moon cottages and arcade. The 3rd Regiment camp next to Headquarters was reduced from

the top and became a stumpy shade of itself. Wallet trumped taste and once-vibrant Lakeside cottages were repainted with military surplus in shades of blue, white and gray.

Despite the affronts, the NHVA encampment lived on, receiving an infusion of interest in 1980 when it received a place on the National Register of Historic Places as a reflection of the “exuberance and variety of American architecture in the 1880s, the strong sentiments for commemoration and reunion engendered by the Civil War, and the increase of leisure, with its attendant growth of resort areas, in late nineteenth-century America.” In the 1990s, several of the buildings were shored up and received facelifts, and this spring’s improvements to the Lakeside landscape has led to an uplift of their countenance, too.

Though placed on the National Register, and seen by historians as noteworthy for its unique architectural style and reminder of days gone by, the NHVA property at Weirs Beach is a living, breathing entity. Any New Hampshire resident who has served their nation during wartime is invited to join. Membership includes exclusive access to the Weirs Beach campsites and cottages at remarkably reasonable prices and invitation to take part in activities and ceremonies.

On June 14, they will hold a public Flag Decommissioning Ceremony from 2 to 3 pm. Visit www.thenhva. org for membership application and information.

Kirkwood Gardens Day is Coming!

Kirkwood Gardens Day is known as the garden sale with the best prices and plants in the area. The annual event at Kirkwood Gardens at Squam Lakes Natural Science Center in Holderness will be held on Saturday, June 3, from 9 am to noon, rain or shine.

Both the upper and lower lawns at Kirkwood Gardens will be the site of this annual garden sale that offers hardy New England grown perennials and herbs; expert gardening advice; a garden treasures sale of gently-used items; exceptional wares from area vendors; and home baked goods and beverages for sale. There will also be a silent auction featuring desirable plants and garden items.

All proceeds from Kirkwood Gardens Day benefit Kirkwood Gardens, established in 1995 in honor of Grace

"Sunny" Kirkwood, who served on the

Science Center's Board of Trustees for

six years. Sunny designed a one-acre garden on the grounds of the historic Holderness Inn to include both shade and sun beds planted with a wide variety of trees, shrubs, ferns, and flowers adapted to the northern New England climate. Today, Kirkwood Gardens is a beautiful, peaceful location to enjoy the many plants and watch the birds, bees, and butterflies attracted by the flowers.

Kirkwood Gardens are free and open to the public daily. A dedicated group of volunteers keep the garden looking its best all season long. Help support Kirkwood Gardens and be inspired, rain or shine, on Kirkwood Gardens Day. The event is generously sponsored by Belknap Landscape Company in Gilford.

For more information, visit www.nhnature.org or call Squam Lakes Natural Science Center at 603-968-7194.

Meredith Rotary Club Working to Clean Up the Bay The Meredith Rotary Club will sponsor “Cleanup the Bay Day” in Meredith. Members of the Club, along with family members, residents, and friends will meet at Hesky Park in Meredith at 9 am on Saturday, June 3.

Volunteers will work on land, in boats, on paddleboards, and in the water removing trash from the Meredith Bay area, the Town Docks, and in Hesky Park.

Certified divers from Dive Winnipesaukee in Wolfeboro will work

in teams underwater to remove debris. “ W e started the Cleanup the Bay Day more than 12 years ago,” according to Bob Davis, a member of the Rotary Club who

organized the event. “Each year we have found some rather amazing debris in the water, including fishing rods, a cell phone, a shopping cart, and one outboard motor with

a gas tank still attached to it,” he said.

Historically, this event has brought more than 25 volunteers to Meredith Bay. The Meredith Department of Public Works will provide a dump truck that, by the end of the day, will be overflowing with rubbish.

The Meredith Rotary Club will provide morning coffee and lunch.

Come join the Meredith Rotary Club and Clean Up the Bay! Call 603-2797600 for information.

Check with your local fire department if permissible fireworks are allowed in your area.

New Exhibits at the New Hampshire Boat Museum The 2017 season at the New Hampshire Boat Museum on Center Street in Wolfeboro will be filled with plenty of new and exciting exhibits and activities. Here are some of the highlights of the exhibits that will be on display through October 9.

The Museum has organized a number of exhibits that explore the world of boating and life on New Hampshire’s lakes. The featured exhibit, “Big Dreams, Little Boats Mid-Century Model Toy Boats,” looks back to a time when young boys collected and played with model toy boats and dreamed of growing up to own a full-size boat.

The exhibit features model boats from the collection of Fred Clausen.

The boats range in date from the mid1950s through the 1970s, the heyday of toy boat production. Popular brands such as Fleetline, ITO and Lionel Train produced miniature replicas of the popular boats and motors of the day whether it be runabouts, cabin cruisers or race boats.

This season’s big event is the biennial Wolfeboro Vintage Race Boat Regatta held September 15 to 16 on Wolfeboro Bay. In honor of this event, the Museum has organized an exhibit “Racing on the Bay: The Wolfeboro Vintage Race Boat Regatta.” Featured will be four race boats dating from the 1920s to the 1950s, as well as vintage race boat photographs.

The Boat Museum’s newest donations of late 19th to early 20th century half hull models will be featured in a third exhibit. The working half hull models came from an unknown marina on Lake Winnipesaukee. The exhibit will look at how half hulls were instrumental in the design and building of large-scale boats.

The year 2016 saw many new boat donations to the Museum. These will be featured on the main exhibit floor, including a very rare 1929 Chris Craft Limousine Sedan, one of only five remaining in the country. Other donations on display will be a 1935 25-ft. Chris Craft custom triple cockpit runabout, a 1939 Lyman, a 1939 galvanized steel Starcraft, and a 1951 Penn Yan CZT Swift race boat. The final donation on display will be the Museum’s first car - a 1922 Maxwell Touring Car once used by Jack Benny while he made personal appearances in Phoenix, AZ. Route 3 • Winnisquam One thing the New Hampshire Boat 528-6434 Museum is known for is educational programs that get you outside, actively learning boat-related skills

June at the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center

Before we know it, school will be out for the summer. Between now and mid-to-late June and beyond, the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center in Holderness is offering a number of fun reasons to visit.

On Saturday, June 3 from 9 am to noon, Squam Lakes Natural Science Center holds its annual Kirkwood Gardens Day for garden lovers. Those who stop by will gain inspiration from Kirkwood Gardens and find beautiful plants for their garden. Purchase fine perennials from a prestigious New England nursery and knowledgeable local gardeners. Peruse the silent auction of desirable plants and garden items and browse craft vendors. In addition, get expert gardening advice.

There will be beverages and baked goods for sale. All proceeds benefit Kirkwood Gardens at Squam Lakes Natural Science Center. Belknap Landscape Company generously sponsors Kirkwood Gardens Day. This event is free and open to the public.

Squam Lakes Natural Science Center offers the first of its summer lecture series on Tuesday, June 6 from 7 to 8 pm with The Squam Lakes Conservation Society and the Squam Uplands Initiative presented by Roger Larochelle, Executive Director of the Squam Lakes Conservation Society. The Squam Lakes region is a source of inspiration for thousands.

But the beauty of Squam’s landscape is not limited to its iconic lakes. Its mountain peaks have been admired for generations, its tributaries sustain the beauty and health of the land, its trails lead hikers to breathtaking scenery, and it holds a significant share of the region’s managed forests and the watershed’s largest block of unfragmented habitat. This area is called the Squam Uplands and many are working together to protect it.

Roger will discuss the importance of the highlands in the Squam Watershed.

The Squam Uplands Initiative

A charming statue in Kirkwood Gardens at the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center in Holderness. establishes a framework to protect large tracts above 900 ft., an area larger than the eight lakes in the Squam watershed.

The Uplands contain the headwaters of Squam’s tributaries, trail viewpoints, most of our working forests, and the watershed’s most unfragmented habitat. Hear the case for protection of these lands and strategies for their permanent protection.

There is no charge to attend, but reservations are required by calling 603-968-7194 x7.

Squam Lakes Natural Science Center holds a birding program for adults and families with children age 12 and up.

The Annual Breeding Bird Census

takes place on Saturday, June 10 with two sessions: session 1 runs from 5:30 to 8 am and session 2 is from 8 to 9 am. For over three decades, Senior Naturalist Dave Erler has conducted a census in early June of bird species that nest on the Science Center campus.

The census is done primarily by ear, listening for territorial songs of male birds, indicating probable nesting.

This is a great opportunity to hone your bird song identification skills.

Session 1 involves canvassing two forested zones, including Mt. Fayal.

Session 2 covers fields, exhibit areas, and Kirkwood Gardens. Binoculars are available or bring your own. There is no charge for this program, but reservations are required. Call 603968-7194 x7.

The program will take place on Friday, June 3 from 7 to 8 pm. Globally, there are more than 20,000 described species of bees, 4,000 of which are native to North America. It is estimated there are over 200 different bee species in New England. Bees pollinate more than 250,000 species of flowering plants.

Everyone loves honey produced by honeybees; however, bees are more important and beneficial to humans because of their pollination services. We rely on pollinators for increased yields in agriculture, estimated to be worth $200 billion in food crop production each year. Maintaining diverse and healthy bee communities is essential to sustain our ecosystems. Dr. Sandra Rehan from the UNH Bee Lab will speak about bees in New England with detailed information on bee diversity and ecology, flower preference, and flower ecology. She will also share methods for living symbiotically with our native pollinators. There is no charge to attend but reservations are required by calling 603-968-7194 x7.

Youngsters (age 2 and 3) will enjoy Nature Play Time on Wednesday, June 28 from 11 am to noon. Join a naturalist for some unstructured play in nature.

The program will set the stage for fun so participants can laugh and explore the natural world together. Attendees will play with water, buckets, and scoops one week and in the forest walking on log balance beams and making stick forts the next. Sessions will be held through the fall. The program is held outdoors; please dress for the weather. Adults get to play too!

An adult must participate with children at no additional cost. There is a charge for each attending child. For details about this event, upcoming programs, and membership, go to www.nhnature. org or call 603-968-7194.

StoryWalk Opening Celebration will take place on Friday, June 30 from 10 to 11:30 am. StoryWalk will hold its grand opening celebration with family activities and refreshments and feature Beau Beaver Goes to Town by Frances Bloxam. In this tale, when a beaver family’s lodge becomes overcrowded, it’s time for the young beavers to live on their own.

Learn the science of archaeology at a NH summer field school The New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources’ 2017 summer archaeology field schools will continue investigations of two different sites, one occupied by Paleo-Indians 12,000 years ago and the other a 17th to 19th-century mill community.

Previous field school investigations at the Jefferson, NH VI Paleo-Indians site have identified caribou hide processing, tool manufacturing and encampment areas. Last year’s survey of the Livermore Falls site provided evidence of milling and light industrial activities, as well as several buildings associated with “the Hollow.”

Coordinated through the NHDHR’s New Hampshire State Conservation and Rescue Archaeology Program (SCRAP), both field schools will conform to archaeology standards set by the National Park Service.

NH State Archaeologist Dr. Richard Boisvert will direct fieldwork and instruction in Jefferson; David Trubey and Edna Feighner, archaeologists at the NHDHR, will direct the Livermore Falls investigations.

Participants will have hands-on instruction in data recovery techniques, artifact identification and excavation documentation. Although most SCRAP

field school participants are volunteers, graduate and undergraduate credit through Plymouth State University is available. Volunteers receive the same instruction as credit students.

There is no fee to participate as a volunteer; however, a $40 donation to defray the cost of supplies and instructional materials is suggested.

The Jefferson sessions take place June 26 to July 7; July 9 to 21 and July 23 to Aug. 4. The Livermore Hollow sessions are Aug. 7 to 18 and Aug. 21 to Sept. 1. Fieldwork will take place from 8 am to 4 pm on weekdays.

Advance registration for each field

school is required by June 2. For more information and to register, visit nh.gov/nhdhr/SCRAP.htm and click on “Upcoming Events & Opportunities,” then “SCRAP Field School 2017” or contact the NHDHR at 603-271-6433.

New Hampshire’s Division of Historical Resources, the “State Historic Preservation Office,” was established in 1974. Its mission is to preserve and celebrate New Hampshire’s irreplaceable historic resources through programs and services that provide education, stewardship, and protection.

Start the Summer Right with Grill Safety New Englanders are starting to enjoy their grills and other outdoor amenities.

While gas grills, portable fire pits, and patio heaters make outdoor spaces comfortable places to gather, it’s important that they are used properly.

Before bringing out portable appliances and firing up the propane grill, the Propane Gas Association of New England (PGANE) offers the following tips to help homeowners get the most from their outdoor appliances safely: 1 Follow the Manufacturer’s Instructions. Whether it’s assembly, use, maintenance, cleaning, or storage, make your grill manufacturer instructions your go-to resource for safe grilling.

The Rochester Opera House presents All-Star Summer Comedy Showcase The Rochester Opera House in Rochester debuts the 2017 All-Star Comedy Showcase on Saturday, June 17 with NH-native Juston McKinney.

Juston has two Comedy Central Specials, including his one-hour special and multiple appearances on the Tonight Show, and Conan O’Brien, but there’s no place like home! When NH Magazine named him “Best of NH” they wrote, “NH may have more famous comedians than you can shake a stick at (Sarah Silverman and Adam Sandler) but no one really gets New Hampshire humor like Juston McKinney.

The All-Star Comedy Showcase will feature nationally known comedy legends as well as some of the comedy scene’s fastest rising stars. Boston comic Dave Russo will perform on Friday, June 23. Russo is a comedian like no other, and he has yet to meet a crowd that he can’t win over with his charm and upbeat attitude. Russo’s quick wit and clever improvisational skills keep audiences on their toes, never sure where Dave’s

mind will ricochet to next. His artful storytelling, combined with his flair for theatrics, has entertained audiences around the country.

The legendary Gilbert Gottfried will hit the stage on Saturday, July 8. Gottfried began doing stand-up at open mic nights in New York City, and quickly became known as “the comedian’s comedian.” The veteran stand-up is a former Saturday Night Live (SNL) cast member and has appeared in several popular films and comedy specials. As a famed comics comic, Gottfried puts aside political correctness for his live performance and fires an onslaught of jokes that know no boundaries!

SNL Weekend Update writer Mark Riccadonna will perform on Friday, July 14. Mark is a gifted storyteller, with charisma that makes you feel like you’ve known him forever, as well as unique delivery, a signature voice (that has landed him several commercials) and likability. Most recently Mark had

a lead role in the feature film “Days of Power.”

One of the funniest and most talked about comedians to come out of Boston is Jackie Flynn; he will bring his act to Rochester on Friday, July 28. Joining the ranks of Steven Wright, Denis Leary, Lenny Clarke and Jay Leno, Flynn has quickly parlayed his success as a stand-up to firmly establish himself in film and television. Audiences young and old appreciate his wit and rapid fire “take no prisoners” delivery.

Having headlined in comedy clubs, theaters, and showcases across the country, and with weekly spots in New York City and Long Island; Tim Krompier has blossomed into a standup comedy maven, Tim was recently featured on the MSG Network’s “The Bracket” giving his witty and educated comments on New York sports. Tim headlines at clubs across the U.S. and Canada and continues to be in high demand for private and corporate events. Tim Krompier will make his first appearance in Rochester on Friday, August 11.

The comedy series ends on Friday, August 18 with one of the best comedians to come out of Boston.

The legendary Lenny Clarke has an oddly calibrated act — his material and his viewpoint are very much in an old-school Don Rickles style, but his attitude is very much that of a quickwitted young comic. This contrast comes wrapped in a conversational, deceptively genial delivery, with just brief moments of clowning. Clarke is also unpredictable in a very good way on stage — you don’t know where he’s going to go next!

The shows start at 8 pm (doors open at 7 pm). Reserve tickets online or call the box office 603-335-1992, Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10 to 5 pm and two hours before the shows.

first general purpose catalogue sales offering in 1872, focusing on rural customers in the Midwest. He soon expanded to include the entire nation.

Richard Sears founded Ward’s only similar competitor in 1893.

From then until Wards dropped its catalogue option in 1985, the two battled for mailorder supremacy.

Ward was more conservative, while Sears aggressively “peddled” its goods. As a result, Sears took over the lead in sales volume by 1900 and never lost that lead. A number of key decisions and leadership changes by both companies made for interesting situations.

This presentation follows the creation, evolution, and eventual demise of catalogue sales as a major force in our nation. As the population became more urban, both companies opened retail stores, which, soon after WWII, outstripped catalogues as their major source of revenue. Again, key decisions made a huge difference in the relative success of the two companies.

Many actual catalogue pages from 1875 to the 1980s will be shown,

illustrating the changing emphasis from rural to urban and from utilitarian to luxury goods over the years.

New Hampshire was primarily rural when these catalogues began to be offered. Many people grew up purchasing clothing, books, tools, and many other types of merchandise by mail.

This program is the first in the Gilmanton Historical Society’s 2017 summer series.

Programs are offered on the fourth Tuesday of each month, May through September.

In June, Glenn Knoblock will present a program on New Hampshire Weathervanes. In July, join the Society for a walking tour of the Gilmanton Corner village. Pat Clarke will share information about Gilmanton Summer Hotels in August. The final program in September addresses the Hurricane of 1938.

On Saturday, July 20 at 10 am, the Society’s Museum in Old Town Hall will feature an exhibit of Vintage Clothing worn by Gilmanton residents.

The programs are free and open to the public. Donations to support the work of the Society are always welcome.

Gurick, Jr. “US Carbine caliber .30 M1” is an in-depth look at the reasons behind the adaption of a “light rifle” to replace the M1911A1 pistol in the hands of troops, and the virtual miracle worked by American industry to produce six MILLION Carbines between 1942 and the late summer of 1945.

George R. Gurick Jr. is a former Staff Sergeant of the regular Air Force and a dyed in the wool “Army Brat”. Having learned basic rifle marksmanship as a kid on Army

small bore ranges, the “gun bug” bit George and the rest is history. He has a deep and wide interest in all things U.S. military, with an emphasis on first-person accounts of Americans in combat and the arms and equipment from the revolution through today’s military.

Gurick is a highly experienced small arms instructor/coach in the military model and holds a Master Instructor rating from the Civilian Marksmanship Program and an instructor/coach rating from the regular Army’s Marksmanship Unit at Fort Benning, GA.

Lakes Region Historic House Tours

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper New Hampshire is a state steeped in history and among the places that saw early settlement. Part of that history is the many old homes, built in the late 1700s to 1800s that have stood the test of time and been lovingly tended.

Some homes are now the property of nonprofits, run by worthy groups such as historical societies.

If you like old houses and are looking for ideas to restore an old home, there are home tours you can take right in the Lakes Region. You will see old barns constructed many years ago, fashioned from huge beams and modest, yet solidly built homes that sheltered large families.

There are many homes open for tours during the spring through fall in the Lakes Region. Plan now to take a historic home tour!

In Wolfeboro, the Clark House is well known to local residents. You cannot miss the complex of buildings that are overseen by the Wolfeboro Historical Society at 233 South Main Street. The Clark House is indeed historically significant, and was built about 1778. If you have an old house and have been studying its architecture and foundation, you will enjoy a visit to the Clark House, which sits on its original foundation.

Joseph Clark was an early owner of the home and he used the structure as a tavern where weary travelers could get a meal and a bed for the night. The enterprising Clark also was a skilled cabinetmaker. His family continued to reside in the house for a number of generations. After the property was willed to the town of Wolfeboro in the early 1900s, the barn and ell were

taken off. The property, when given to the town, was gifted with the idea that it become a living history museum.

According to information at www. wolfeborohistoricalsociety.org, those who tour the property can see a truly old home, including a keeping room, dining room, parlor and bedrooms.

Touring the home will give you an idea of how a historic New England home was laid out; in the olden days, spaces were planned for different needs than those of today. Docents can answer questions about how the building is cared for over the years.

On the museum property there is a wonderful firehouse with old fire equipment and a circa 1805 schoolhouse. Moved from elsewhere in Wolfeboro in the late 1950s, the oneroom schoolhouse is a historic gem well worth seeing. Work is being done on a barn as well.

Want to see how day-to-day life was led on a New England farm over 100 years ago? Head to a gem of a historic site – the NH Farm Museum located at 1305 White Mountain Highway in Milton, NH. Once you step onto the property, there is a distinct feeling of being transported to the past. You can’t miss the buildings, painted an attractive yellow. The barn and homestead were once the property of the Plummer family, who worked the farm for many years. There are agricultural exhibits in the big barn and heirloom vegetables and gardens as well as other old farm artifacts on display.

For those who want to see the décor and architecture of a true historic

home, there are guided tours of the historic Jones Farmhouse on a regular basis during the months the farm is open to the public. According to www. nhfarmmuseum.org, “The Jones Farm and connected farm buildings extend 275 feet and range in date from the 1770s to the early 1900s. Each part of the connected farm structure tells a different story about rural life and work in the past. A tour of the Jones farmhouse allows the visitor to walk through time from Joseph Plumer’s Revolutionary War Era cape, to Levi Jones’ early 19th-century tavern, into the Victorian parlor and dining room, and ending in the early 20th-century farm kitchen.

In the Jones farmhouse you will find a vast collection of artifacts utilized in domestic production of textiles and preservation of food, furnishings and myriad household articles highlighting ‘Yankee ingenuity.’”

Explore the Great Barn, which is an amazing three stories (104 ft.) tall.

It holds a collection of farm tools, implements and machinery once used to clear land, plant fields, harvest crops, construct buildings, and maintain area roads. The barn will show visitors how a hardworking farmer and his family tended their homestead.

Also on the property is the John York Cider Mill, occasionally used for summer camp programs. According to www.farmmuseum.org, “The building was constructed by volunteers in 2001 and houses an apple exhibit and a massive horse-powered knob mill apple crusher that dates to the early 19th century. Cider was the most common table drink of early New

Other buildings at the NH Farm Museum include a blacksmith shop, a shoe shop and the country store.

There is always something fun and educational going on, so call ahead for a schedule at 603-652-7840 or check the museum’s extensive website (www. farmmuseum.org). The museum and grounds are open seasonally, but other events take place at various times.

We’ve all dreamed of being a millionaire and living in a mansion.

One man that actually made his dream come true was Thomas Plant, who made his fortune in the shoe industry.

With a lot of money and retirement years ahead, Plant fell in love with the Ossipee Mountains and the Lakes Region. It was in Moultonboro that he purchased a huge tract of land and designed a remote, very private mountain estate as his future home, which he named Lucknow.

Lucknow, over time, was Castle in the Clouds and it is open for tours during the spring through fall. The castle, the carriage house and grounds see thousands of visitors each year who want an up-close look at the home Plant built in the early 1900s. (As the story goes, due to bad investments, Plant eventually fell upon hard financial times. After his death, the property was sold and changed hands over the years. The Castle Preservation Society now is continuing the ongoing effort of restoration and upkeep of the buildings.)

Visitors can (according to www. castleintheclouds.org), “revel in the beauty of the views, while taking in the magnificent features Plant had installed in his home. Enjoy a self-guided tour as if time stood still in the early 1900s.

Rooms are set up as if Tom and his

wife, Olive, had just stepped out for the day, and vintage apparel adorns the house in closets. Experience life through the eyes of the Plants, image yourself living in the mansion with spectacular views from every room.

Search for the innovations of the time – central vacuuming, ammonia brine refrigeration, and intercom systems.”

Learn more about the history, the architecture, the property and the rise and fall of Thomas Plant during your visit. Museum guides will answer almost all questions.

The property also features a café for lunch or snacks during open hours and special events are held as well as art exhibits, weddings and other private functions. Castle in the Clouds is located on Rt. 171 in Moultonboro; call 603-476-5900 for details and hours of operation.

The Remick Country Doctor Museum and Farm in Tamworth village is a fascinating place to visit, with events happening year round.

Located at 58 Cleveland Hill Road in Tamworth, the museum was once the property of the Remick family (Dr. Remick and later, his son, also a doctor, owned the farm). These days, it is open for tours and events and is a great way to see the architecture and lifestyle of a country farm and to learn how the doctors managed to run the farm as well as busy medical practices.

The property is, according to www. remickmuseum.org, “Comprised of a cattle barn, historic English barn, stable, milk house (part of Doc Remick’s Hillsdale Dairy business and the first milk pasteurization plant north of Rochester, NH), sugar house (where maple syrup is sugared off), woodshed, small ice house, farmhouse and the Captain Enoch Remick House (on the National Register of Historic Places.) The Museum buildings are open for self-led and/or guided tours, dependent upon the season; the Museum Center, housed in the farmhouse, is

open year-round. Call 603-323-7591 or visit www.remickmuseum.org for hours and events.

The Lakes Region and beyond have many historic homes, now open for public tours. Canterbury Shaker Village in Canterbury offers a glimpse at a community that believed in building things right and with simplicity, and the Canaan Historical Museum with 18th and 19th century historic homes in rural

Canaan and many others are waiting for your visit.

If you are restoring an old house and want to get old-time paint color ideas, architectural tips and restoration advice, it is well worth the time to take a historic house tour. You will come away with knowledge and have a lot of fun stepping back in time as well.

Women’s Club Summer Gala Tickets are now available for the Moultonborough Women’s Club summer gala and can be purchased for $20 per person at Bayswater Books in Center Harbor.

The gala will be a fun time with a cash bar, free catered hot and cold hors d’oeuvres by Eloise Post and music for dancing.

A silent auction will be the main theme, with many unusual items up for bid. Already donated for the auction are Red Sox tickets and Fisher Cats tickets, one-hour tennis lesson worth $60, five one-hour piano lessons, a 16 x 20-ft. pencil portrait of a dog, a threehour garden design, four tickets on the M/S Mount Washington, 10 classes at a beautiful yoga barn, and a lovely crocheted afghan. Also up for bid will

be a boat ride and picnic on a beautiful Chris Craft wooden boat! Also in the auction will be gift certificates from various local vendors and restaurants.

This is just a sampling of items, with new donations coming in daily.

The festive affair will be held at the Moultonborough Lions Club on Old Route 109S, on Friday, June 16, from 7 to 10 pm. The club will be awarding $7,000 to local students in late May and need to have a big event to begin to refill the coffers.

The community and neighboring towns are invited to the “Big Gala Event” of the summer. Call 603-2537347 for tickets and information or visit moultonboroughwomensclub.org and look for the gala tab.

Accessory Dwelling Units Workshop Homeowners, building and real estate professionals, and citizen planners alike are invited to attend an informative workshop on creating accessory dwelling units in accordance with updated municipal regulations.

The Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) workshop will be held on Tuesday, June 20 at the Pinckney Boat House on the Brewster Academy campus on South Main Street in Wolfeboro from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.

Light refreshments will be provided.

Admission is free, but the favor of a reply is requested by June 15 for planning purposes. Respond to events@elrhc.org or leave a message at 603-522-7150.

The workshop will feature presenters with practical, how-to advice, as well as a legislative update and overview from guest moderator Susan Slack, principal planner with the New Hampshire Office of Energy & Planning. Many

homeowners may be unaware of the new regulations; this event is one way to inform the public. The fundamental requirement of the new law is that every municipality with a zoning ordinance shall allow accessory dwelling units – also called in-law apartments – as a matter of right, or by either conditional use permit or by special exception, in all zoning districts that permit single family dwellings. The legislation, effective June 1, 2017, may benefit aging or disabled homeowners and their caregivers, single parents, recent college graduates weighed down with debt, and others by providing housing options that may have been otherwise prohibited in some communities.

Copies of updated ordinances will be available at this forum. For more information on the event and the Eastern Lakes Region Housing Coalition, visit www.elrhc.org.
