Snow White & Her 7 Tours

By Barbara Neville Wilson

The mission of the Gypsy Motorcycle Tour in Laconia in 1919 was: “To provide a good time for the riders, and their wives, sisters, and sweet-hearts,” and “to create a more favorable public opinion of the motorcycle and motorcycle riders.”

From Motorcycle and Bicycle Weekly magazine as reported on laconiamcweek.com When you first meet Mary Stetson, you feel like you are in the presence of an old friend. Perhaps it’s because she looks so familiar: jet black hair with an undercurl and bangs; creamy white skin, naturally red lips, and marvelous blue eyes that focus on you—and only you—when you talk.

When the conversation starts, she quickly finds things you have in common. She steers the conversation to positive experiences, wonderful people, and things for which she is grateful. When you find out she is an Early Childhood teacher at Cornerstone Christian Academy in Ossipee, you’re glad to know her positive attitude will be passed to the next generation.

You can’t get enough of Mary once you’ve met her. You’re drawn to her presence. You enjoy hearing about her extended family. You listen to her stories of amazing people and the amazing things they do. You willingly

she reminds me of) has given up the white stallion for a motorcycle? What’s up with that?

Mary fairly gushes when she talks about the pastime she and husband Mark took up just 10 years ago. “We

had always kind of dreamed about buying a motorcycle and riding it to Nova Scotia for our 25th anniversary,” she says.

She remembers a conversation that took place in the spring before their anniversary in 2006.

“I was on the phone with our son Mark,” she says, “and Mother’s Day was coming up, so Mark started asking me what I wanted.” The young man threw out all kinds of thoughts: a diamond bracelet? Diamonds are a girl’s best friends. How about this?

How about that? When Mary gave him no ideas, he turned to thoughts of his dad. Their anniversary was soon. What could he get Dad? When Mary shared their dream of getting a motorcycle and riding to Nova Scotia, Mark said, ”That’s it. Some day when I make it big, I’m going to get Dad a motorcycle.”

Mary remembers that conversation fondly now, for it was the last phone call she had with her son. Mark was killed tragically and unnecessarily the next day.

In the midst of tragedy, Mary told her husband about that conversation, and their minds were made up. They would, indeed, take that anniversary trip. They bought a Harley Davidson Street Glide in their son’s honor and took their first trip to Canada’s island

Libby Museum July Day Camps Are Calling Your Kids!

July 7: Travel Back in Time with an American Girl Doll or just a favorite stuffed friend. Both boys and girls will enjoy this experience as they meet the characters and explore the time periods of the first five American Girl characters. Youngsters will engage in art projects, storytelling, cooking, oldtime school lessons, family chores, antique toys, sewing, a scavenger hunt in Libby Woods and a bit of drama.

July 14: Spend a day the Abenaki Way! Your child will be immersed in learning about the native peoples who once lived in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. Projects will include native rituals, cooking over an open fire,

There are dozens of great children’s summer programs out there for your children…but don’t pass up the topics and hands-on experiences kids can immerse themselves in at the Libby Museum camps this July. The programs offer all sorts of fun for children, teaching about the natural world, history, art and music…all in a fun environment at the museum’s Wolfeboro location.

The popular Kidventures program, for ages 7 through 13, is a history and science-based experience that began in 2015, and is now offered for full days. Presented by teacher, Sheryll Ross, the program will run this year every Thursday from 10 am to 3 pm.

Class size is limited to 12; slots fill up fast so register your children now.

Kidventures programs will include:

They took the ferry from Maine and, listening to weather predictions of torrential rains, sought a hotel to wait out the storm. There, they met two other motorcycling couples from New Hampshire and ended up becoming friends and travelling companions. It’s a pattern they have repeated through the years: meeting new friends and reencountering other friends from days gone by. “You have great opportunities to meet amazing people” when biking, says Mary.

Mary notes that she and Mark have

ridden in New York and Vermont, but New Hampshire really has some of the “nicest riding of anywhere.” The roads are well maintained, and the views are so beautiful.

This month, they will return with family and friends to one of their favorite rides, Mount Washington. The Auto Road is closed for motorcycle traffic only on Monday, June 13 and Thursday, June 16. It’s become a tradition for Mark, Mary, family and friends ever since a dear friend organized the trip several years ago.

Last year they joined together with other riders to pay respects to that friend at the top. Together they honored his passing and a piece of him will

always remain there to memorialize their fellow rider in Motorcycle Week visits to come.

Mary loves to ride the Notches of the White Mountains in any season, but she particularly recommends coming back to explore Evans Notch in the fall. Trees that practically cover the entrance mark the spot. “The foliage is spectacular,” she says, and a lot of bikers stop at The Laughing Lion to do some rock climbing. “You definitely meet some real characters there,” she finishes.

Mary mentions how she enjoys taking photos from her perch behind Mark on the bike. Of course, the Kancamagus Highway and Cathedral Ledge in the North Conway area are always beautiful. Another favorite in the area is Hurricane Mountain Road.

Motorcycleroads.us posts comments like, “Hurricane Mountain Road is a miniature version of Passo diGavia in Italy…” “I have ridden the Hurricane many, many times and always found it a rush…” “The Hurricane Mountain Road is a little piece of the Alps right here in New Hampshire.”

Closer to the Lakes Region, Mary mentions the eight-mile Route 129 ridge road between Routes 106 in Loudon and 107 in Gilmanton. It’s difficult to keep your eyes on the road when going by the stunning farms and long views from the top.

Mary also likes to ride Ossipee Mountain Road off Route 109 in

Moultonboro. It offers quiet beauty away from the rush of other traffic.

This allows Mary to meditate or even pray. She and Mark had absolutely no experience before picking up motorcycling a decade ago, but now, she says, it’s funny, “I am the most relaxed when I am on a motorcycle.”

For Mary, one of the great joys of riding is the chance to connect with other riders. She and Mark love meeting other people, other couples, and getting to know them. The fact that their motorcycle is so unique is often a conversation and friendship starter.

People often “notice the windshield,” where their son Mark’s picture is etched, she says, or they ask about the inscription of “Psalm 144” on their trunk. One of son Mark’s favorite Bible verses, it says, “Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.”

Mary and her husband Mark consider their motorcycle a tribute to Mark and other family members who have passed. She feels lucky they found a real artist in Ken Liversidge of Granite State Laser in Alton Bay. Riding the bike decorated with remembrances helps her feel closer to those who have passed, even while meeting new people and sharing fresh moments of beauty and gratitude.

This very modern Snow White needs no stallion. Her Harley does just fine, thank you.

July 21: Learn All about New Hampshire’s Karner Butterfly. The museum’s theme this year for the Annual Family Day is the Karner Butterfly, so get your child ready by learning the basics of this once endangered species.

Expert naturalist, Rebecca Segelhurst of the NH Fish and Game, will guide the class in the morning. Children plant wild lupine plants in the museum’s garden, take part in butterfly crafts and become experts with the facts they learn.

In the afternoon, teacher Sheryll Ross will add to this knowledge with crafts, stories and outdoor activities about other butterflies.

July 28: Explore at the Libby Invention Convention! This will be a great day of learning for both the curious child and those who like to think creatively. Children will explore museum artifacts and inventions from the past as they use a timeline to identify both the artifact and its time period.

They will hear stories about two famous inventors, learn to draw their own designs for creations, then work in pairs, groups and individually to use varying materials to create their own invention, along with a journal activity to document the design. They will be involved in some competitive invention games and many brainstorming activities as their brains work like

those of Dr. Libby!

Many children have happily attended Lil’ Sprouts Tuesday and Wednesday programs, taught by local educator Susan Berry. Lil’ Sprouts will remain in its traditional two-hour format from 10 am to 12 noon for ages 5-7. The program is known this year as Kamp Kindness, with its theme of “Kindness Makes You Happy…and Happiness Makes You Kind.” Students do not need to attend both days, but will probably want to continue the fun.

Children attending two days do receive a discount.

Students will discover simple ways they can make a positive impact around them with acts of kindness, inspiring them to want to be positive role models at home, at school, in their communities, and beyond. Hands-on creative activities and literature are woven throughout each lesson. The content of Tuesday and Wednesday classes is different. Bring a snack and come dressed for messy fun on these days. The schedule includes: July 5, 6: Me, Myself and I: Children will hear wonderful literature, engage in hands-on learning, crafts and more as they learn about their special place in the world with others.

July 12, 13: How to Be a Friend: Get involved through stories, creative activities, and interactive fun while taking part in team-building experiences!

Mapping Squam...the Projects of Brad Washburn

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Photos courtesy archives of Squam Lakes Natural Science Center

taintops in sometimes-unexplored locations. Along the way, he served for years as director of the Museum of Science in Boston and turned it into the mega-popular place it is today.

Fun and relaxation for him were trips to Squam to hike, to explore and to map the area. A Holderness resident who learned a lot about Brad and grew to greatly admire him is Tom Stepp.

Tom echoes much of what Betsy describes about Brad Washburn, such as his adventuring skills, his love of detail and precision and his determination to map areas and open up the world to everyone.

In 1992, Tom organized an exhibit for the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center in Holderness featuring Brad’s maps and charts. The work he did to put the exhibit together offered a chance to meet Brad and to see up close the photographs and work this amazing man produced over the years.

Tom says that as a young person, Brad suffered from hay fever and found the higher elevations of Squam and the White Mountains relieved his symptoms. That may be how he got into hiking, and it later led him to join the mountaineering club while attending Harvard. This would have been around 1928; not long after, Brad went to Alaska, a place still largely unexplored at the time. “No one back then had a clue what was up in Alaska,” says Tom. “Brad did many expeditions to Alaska. He was in the upper echelon of climbers, and over time he got interested in mapping. He wanted to show

“Dad has perseverance and Mom was always up for an adventure.”

—Betsy Cabot, daughter of Brad and Barbara Washburn If you search online for information on Brad and Barbara Washburn, you will find many mentions of such places as Mount Everest, Denali, Alaska, and words like adventure, explorer, climber, outdoorsman, photographer, cartographer. What you do not often come across, says their daughter, Betsy Cabot, is the fact that Brad spent many years charting and mapping the Squam Lakes and Squam Range.

Betsy has fond and vivid memories of going along with her parents, (her father, Brad Washburn, was the director of the Museum of Science in Boston and an explorer for National Geographic, among other outstanding achievements), while the whole family

trekked onto the ice on Squam Lake to work on one of his “projects.”

“In the wintertime we took our car onto the ice – and it was so cold,” Betsy says with a laugh. “I must have been 8 or 10 years old, and my mother sat in the car and read Charlotte’s Web

to me and my siblings while my dad worked on his charting. I never knew this was strange!”

Indeed, the life Brad and Barbara Washburn gave their children was anything but typical: it was full of learning, adventure and importantly, of perseverance. They spent summers coming to the Squam area, just as their father had as a child. “When Dad was young, his family came up to Rockywold Deephaven Camps in the Squam area,” Betsy says. “And we went up every year when I was a child; I still go up to Squam Lake.

“My father loved map making and he had since he was a child. He loved detail and teaching and conveying to others and telling stories about where he had been,” Betsy adds.

Where Brad had been was a dizzying list of places around the world.

The work he did found him on moun-

June 13, 2016 • Mapping Squam Continued from page 6 people what he saw during his expeditions, and he did it through surveying and cartography and photography.”

Many times, Tom says, Brad hired bush pilots in order to get to remote parts of Alaska. “When he was flying, he used a camera made for vertical aerial photos. He could shoot straight down from the plane – and the negatives were large – 9 by 9. He got incredible detail. To do this, they would take the door off plane, strap Brad in so he could take photos. It must have been really cold!”

Brad Washburn is famous for his black-and-white photographs and so well respected even master photographer Ansel Adams considered Brad a peer.

In his late 20s, Brad was offered a unique opportunity. “He was hired as the director of the Boston Museum of Science,” says Tom. Back in those days, it was a totally different place than today’s interactive, wonderful museum that families love.

Rather stodgy would be a better way to describe the museum before Brad took over. Brad was just the person for the job; he updated the museum with his unique vision and talents and served as director for over 40 years.

Says Betsy, when asked how her parents met, “My mother was a secretary for a group of biologists at Harvard.

Someone told her there was a new guy named Brad Washburn taking over the Science Museum and they suggested she apply for a job there. She didn’t really want to apply, but she did so.”

Barbara got the job and worked as Brad’s secretary for a year; after their marriage, she was his lifelong secretary, handling all his paperwork. “She did everything,” Betsy adds. “Anyone who knew her was aware she was a huge part of what he accomplished.”

“Everything” included accompanying Brad on a number of his hikes, climbs and adventures to far flung places. But the couple loved to come to Squam Lake, which speaks well of the area; they could have taken their family anywhere but often returned to NH. In 1935, Brad decided to make a better map of Squam Lake. It was typical of him: he loved “projects” as Betsy recalls. But how would one go about mapping such a large area?

“It was an enormous task,” asserts Tom Stepp. “That is when he first started taking flights over Squam. He took vertical aerial photographs. With that process, you would fly over the area in a plane, take lots of photos so that all images overlap each other by 60 percent or more. For example, if you took 40 photos of the lake, you would line up the photos to get an image of the lake, which you could then trace carefully. It would make an accurate map.”

Brad’s first edition of the map was done in 1936. Much later, in the 1960s, Brad decided to make the map more accurate. He worked on it in his spare time. He then got involved in depth soundings on Big and Little Squam and White Oak Pond.

To do this, in the winter when the lake is iced over, you drill a hole, drop a weight on a measure, and take a depth sounding and record. The amount of

work to take all depth soundings would have been huge, but as a perfectionist, Brad loved the work.

Betsy recalls, “In the summertime, Dad surveyed on Squam. We went out in a boat and we would pull fishing line with ping-pong balls every 100 feet. No one takes it that way now. He would find out the level of the lake and it went on for years. He loved being outside and doing projects. Back then, people did ‘projects’ because no one had a television.”

There are five editions of the Squam Lake Chart, with contour lines on the land around the lake and an amazing grid of depth soundings. To get this information, Brad and two local men, Tink Taylor and Peter Hodges, drilled about 3,000 holes through the ice on the lake during the freezing cold winters.

Not everyone’s idea of fun, but to Brad it was the height of enjoyment.

As Brad entered his 70s, he started to divest himself of some of the things he had collected or recorded over his long career. He gave some of it to the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, which included the Squam Range map and his lake charts. He asked that the Center archive the materials and also create an exhibit focused on how the maps were created.

That is where Tom came in. With experience creating interactive exhibits for the Science Center and a good knowledge of surveying, Tom was the logical person to work on the Washburn exhibit.

“It was a fascinating experience, but at times it was paralyzing to create the exhibit because of the scope of it,” Tom recalls. With perseverance of which Brad would have approved, Tom completed the exhibit and it opened at the Center’s second floor space at the old Squam Lake Inn in 1992. (At the time,

the Center was headquartered there; it has since relocated to land next door.)

“Brad came up from Massachusetts to speak at the opening,” Tom says. “I think he was about 82 then. Someone had the idea of getting a big chunk of ice and having Brad show how he had drilled through ice when doing the lake charting. He jumped right up on the table and grabbed the drill. He was so agile even as he got older!”

Tom Stepp, who knew the importance of preserving the maps and charts for future generations to enjoy, digitized Brad’s charts and maps. They can be seen on the Science Center’s website (www.nhnature.org under the Brad Washburn maps section). Betsy says when renting a boat on Squam Lake, boaters are often handed one of her father’s charts to help them navigate.

When asked what we can learn from Brad’s maps, Tom muses, “Brad was very interested in the lakes. . He said he was strongly motivated to share the beautiful places with those that might never get there, such as a remote mountain in Alaska. The accuracy of a few local maps, done by an absolute perfectionist like Brad, is really amazing.”

Beyond the worldwide fame, the

accolades and achievements, it is the strong work ethic and a zest for life that are the biggest gifts Brad and Barbara Washburn left behind when they passed; both lived into their 90s.

Chat with Betsy Cabot about Brad and Barbara and it is the memories of growing up with curious, active and intelligent parents that speak so well of all the couple accomplished.

She recalls one summer’s adventure in the Grand Canyon. Someone suggested Brad should map the Grand Canyon and of course, off the family went! “I was 9 years old and not able to ride the pack mule with the rest of the family because I was too short. So my Dad said he’d walk down to the Canyon bottom with me. He brought food and water and I walked down with him. It was an amazing experience for a kid!

Betsy remembers, “It was really, really hot, but really fun being with Dad as he explained all the layers of rock.... ocean under dirt...quick sand at bottom along river...pretty different from Cambridge, Massachusetts!

“Wherever we went, we stopped and saw everything. My father was always looking for new ideas that he might use for an exhibit at the Museum of Science. At a time when museums were exhibiting dead things, he wanted to show live animals and he wanted exhibits you could touch and feel.”

From numerous hikes up Mount Washington to Denali (Mount McKinley) and Everest, Brad did it all and he shared it with Barbara, who Betsy says, “Was always up for an adventure.” Indeed, Barbara penned a book titled The Accidental Adventurer, which told of travels and explorations with her husband.

Today, when someone rents a boat and uses Brad’s map, they might want to remember the adventurer who gazed at the world from atop mountains all over the globe, who worked for National Geographic and turned the Museum of Science in Boston, one of the most prestigious museums anywhere.

Why did a man so busy and well connected spend so much time chipping through the ice of Squam Lake and hiking all over the Squam Range and into the White Mountains? Why did he work on a project – the mapping and charting of the Squam area – that would have been an impossible task for most people?

Likely it is because he saw the Lakes Region as no less awe inspiring and worthy than Everest or the Grand Canyon. He was at home amid the lakes and mountains of NH, a place he mapped for future generations to enjoy.

Kathryn Field: Coming Home Exhibit of New Work The work of Sandwich artist, Kathryn Field, is on exhibit for the month of June at Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery in Center Sandwich. Field’s exhibit of paintings created since her return from Australia last August is entitled Coming Home.

The paintings in oil and watercolor embrace local landscapes in all seasons and events such as the Ice Harvest that occurs every winter on Squam Lake.

The exhibit emphasizes the artist’s growth while living and working in another culture.

A former member of the Holderness School art department, Field is a painter and a sculptor. Her art journey has taken her through many years of teaching high school students and it took a new twist when her husband accepted a job in Australia. Happy for

Kathryn Field, Fishing Ice, oil on canvas, 30 x 40 inches. a new adventure, Field followed him “Down Under” and became a full-time artist for the first time in many years.

In Australia her work seemed to

expand and grown. She turned to portraiture as a discipline and returned to NH with many canvases of lively subjects. Her landscapes painted in

Australia were big and voluminous, like the scenery she was visiting.

A new confidence is visible in her current work and a freedom has emerged in her brushstroke. Her compositions invite the viewer to participate in the splendor of a fall day or the novelty of herding ice. Her studies of Evy’s apples are gentle and delicate both in oil and in watercolor.

A visit to the exhibit is a reminder of all that we love about New Hampshire.

The gallery is located at 69 Maple Street in Center Sandwich. Hours are from 10 am to 5 pm, Monday through Saturday and from noon to 5 pm on Sunday.

For more information about the Gallery or Kathryn Field’s exhibit, visit www.patricialaddcarega.com or call 284-7728.

Off the Beaten (Motorcycle) Path A Bog, Pancakes & Firefighter’s Museum

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper During Motorcycle Week in the Lakes Region, there is a lot to do. If you are looking for something a bit different than the better-known events and places to visit, you needn’t look far. You just have to know where to go.

Luckily for the motorcycle visitor who wants an off-the-beatenmotorcycle-path adventure, I know a lot of unusual and unsung places that make the Lakes Region so much fun.

You don’t need to necessarily own/ride a motorcycle to find these places; the locations I am writing about can be reached by either car or motorcycle.

Those mentioned here are some of my favorite places, in no particular order. I happened to discover them on various treks; consult a map or GPS if you are unsure of routes.

A place that has become an offthe-main-road favorite of mine is the Qunicy Bog Natural Area in Rumney.

My daughter and I happened upon the place while out “riding around” as we call it, last summer. To reach the area,

take the Tenney Mountain Highway in Plymouth until you see a sign for Quincy Bog and head down Smith Bridge Road.

Follow signs to Qunicy Bog, which is located at 131 Quincy Bog Road in Rumney. (You indeed must follow the signs to the Bog area; otherwise you might miss it because it is not easily visible.)

Park in a large lot and use the trail map and booklet provided for visitors titled The Joe Kent Trail at Quincy Bog. The area is wooded with a short path to the start of the bog area. Take the wooden boardwalk for a short distance; the bog boardwalk trail is really pretty, with views of the pond with Mt. Stinson in the background. Plant life is abundant as well as birds and most likely, other animals. (We were told the boardwalk trail goes all the way around the pond and is well worth the trek.)

There is also a nature center, open during the summer for programs.

Laconia Historical & Museum Society June program “Mr. F.A.” was a “gentle and kindly man”, a man of many talents, an inventor, administrator, a communityminded man and a philanthropist.

As a worldwide leader in innovative printing technologies, one of F.A. Putnam Manufacturing Company businesses, “The Ink Company” and a guesthouse, “The Sign of the Wings”, were established on 40 acres just off Mosquito Bridge on the northwesterly shore of Lake Winnisquam called Aviation Point.

Wayne Snow will present the “F. A. Putnam and Robert Fogg” program to the Laconia Historical & Museum Society (LHMS) and guests in the Rotary Room of the Laconia Public Library on Monday, June 20 at 7 pm.

Snow has a way of weaving his story and finding connections that seem to fit like a fine piece of heirloom lace. Frederick Ashabel Putnam was a financer and a very important businessman during the Depression years in the Lakes Region. He was mechanically inclined. The story is told that when he was an infant in the 1860s, his mother took him with her to the mill where she worked. Fred may have become interested in industrial

machinery by watching the machinery of the mill, the shuttles and spindles.

He held an interest in inks and printing machines and modes of transportation cars, boats, and airplanes. F. A. funded many activities of aviator, Robert Fogg (whose story was presented at an earlier LHMS program by Jane Rice).

In 1911, Putnam formed a company, which began with marking machines and ink for leather and fabric; it evolved and became the Markem Company in Keene, NH, where Wayne’s father, Lynwood Snow, was employed. In 1936, Putnam established “The Ink Factory” on the shore of Winnisquam

by Mosquito Bridge and could engrave or stamp on odd-shaped items, even ammunition. Snow and others joined Putnam; they lived in houses Putnam built for them at Aviation Point. After WWII, the Putnam family returned to Keene and Lynwood Snow bought the 40-acre property.

The Laconia Historical & Museum Society always encourages new membership. Contact them at P. O. Box 1126 (695 N. Main Street), Laconia, NH 03247, 603-527-1278, lhmslpl@ metrocast.org, www.laconiahistorical. org.

June 13, 2016 • Day Tripping Continued from page 11 Nature walks and workshops take place during the season, as well. For more information on the fabulous Quincy Bog area, visit www.quincybog.org.

Not particularly far from the Plymouth area, I highly recommend Benton’s Sugar Shack in Thornton for a memorable pancake breakfast. (Plan to eat at Benton’s before or after taking that walk around Quincy Bog!) Benton’s Sugar Shack does it all, from serving pancakes and breakfast items to producing maple syrup and offering (at times) tours of the sap house area.

Take Exit 28 (towards Waterville Valley) off I-93 north. From that exit, take a right onto Rt. 49 and drive for a few miles to an intersection with a left turn for Rt. 175 to Thornton.

The road is rural and very pretty with rolling hills and fields and an occasional farmhouse. Not far past the Thornton Elementary School, you will come upon Benton’s Sugar Shack, which is open weekends from 8 am to 2 pm.

You cannot miss the restaurant because there is a large sign on the side of the building and a parking lot often filled with cars. It is a popular place if you like quaint and country (which I do!).

The long wooden building has a rustic look and even a fun stick-yourhead-through-the-hole in the stand up wooden figure for kids – parents bring a camera to take some shots of your kids!

Once inside Bentons, you are

immediately in the gift shop area where lots of good things are for sale. If it’s busy, there is a bench for seating or you can opt to browse in the gift shop.

Once seated, prepare for a great breakfast in a charming atmosphere.

One of the things I like best about Bentons is that it was built to resemble a sap house. It exudes country charm without being cutesy; the walls are made of wood and the floor is durable.

You won’t find modern-day décor at Benton’s; it looks like the family decided to decorate with items from the family farm/barn! It is truly in keeping with the backcountry, downhome atmosphere.

The menu is a delight with a wide variety of pancake options, French toast, eggs and other items as well as real maple syrup produced right at Bentons.

Call Benton’s Sugar Shack at 726-3867 or visit www.bentonssugarshack.com.

Benton’s is located at 2010 Rt. 175 in Thornton, NH. Taking riders back into the area from the Lakes Region, there is a little gem of a museum that many do not know exists. If you like the unusual…and you like old firefighting items, head to the Franklin Firefighters Museum, located behind the Franklin Fire Station on Bow Street in Franklin. A little white building housing the museum is charming and chock-full of local firefighting items that trace the history of firefighting in Franklin.

A number of years ago I discovered the museum and was given a tour; I have been back many times since and I love the place. I suggest calling ahead at 934-2205 or if you stop by, park in front of the fire station and

ask for someone to show you around the museum; it is open by availability of staff. The hours are by chance or appointment.

The firefighter’s museum opened in 1987 under the leadership of Captain Edmund Sawicki, a 34-year member of the Franklin Hook and Ladder Company. Captain Sawicki knew the department had a lot of items and thought the time had come to build a museum to house the collection. Some objects are from the Fire Department’s collection and some items are donations.

A number of the things in the museum were items used in the past.

Once retired from use, they might be placed in the museum.

In the museum, smaller items are placed on shelves and walls around the perimeter of the space. On display are old fire alarms and it is certainly interesting to see how fire alarms

have changed over the years from early crude models right through more modern systems.

Old photos on the walls give just a glimpse at what firefighters battled over the years. Also First Aid emergency kits and other equipment offer a further peek into the past.

When I visited some years ago, I was particularly struck by a large framed display of firefighter’s badges.

Preserved under glass, the large collection of badges speak of the many who worked hard to save lives and fight fire in the city.

The museum is a true hidden gem and one worth riding a bit out of the way to see. (To visit the museum, stop by the fire department on Bow Street in Franklin or call 934-2205 for information. Admission to the museum is free to the public.)

“The Most Powerful Woman in the World” Once Hitched Rides in Meredith Barbara Neville Wilson By the time her obituary was written in 2003, Soong Meiling had been suggested as “the most powerful woman in the world” by Life Magazine, had made herself overly comfortable in President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s White House, was feted by Hollywood, and was accused of diverting millions of dollars in US funds from their intended purpose.

To the world, this was the sophisticated face of Madame Chiang Kai-Shek.

Joseph F. Smith, however, remembered the face of a small, chubby girl who sometimes hitched rides on his wagon as he delivered groceries through the town of Meredith, NH. From 19081913, Meiling and her older sister, Chingling, practiced English, studied, and got their first taste of tennis at Miss Harriet Moses’ summer “Home for Little Girls.”

Dean Dexter wrote about Madame Chiang Kai-shek in this NH Commentary soon after she died: “‘I never saw a Chinese woman before,’ the late Belknap County Commissioner, state rep and town Selectman Joseph F. Smith told the Meredith Historical Society at a September 4, 1962 meeting.

Smith, who later became a prominent lumber dealer and owner of the Wicwas Lodge at Meredith Center, had taken a job at Fred Beede’s store on Meredith’s Main Street and delivered groceries by horse and wagon to customers around town.

One of Smith’s stops was at a school for girls operated by Hattie Moses on Pleasant Street on the Bay between what is now Meredith Mooring Condominiums and property stretching up the hill across from Gould Street.

‘Smith said he would often give rides on the delivery wagon to girls enrolled at the school as they walked to and from the

U.S. first lady Eleanor Roosevelt in front of the White House with Soong Mei-ling, wife of Chinese leader Chiang Kai-shek. village. Mei-Ling and her sister were among them. They were very pretty and quite a curiosity for a sleepy little village like Meredith at the turn of the century,’ he said.

It wasn’t until the 1930s that Joe, with his brother Frederick Smith, longtime headmaster of New Hampton School, and their wives were at a movie at Laconia’s Colonial Theater when during the Pathe newsreel a clip was shown featuring China’s President Chiang Kai-shek and his beautiful young wife.

‘Hey, that’s Mei-Ling,’ Fred said, elbowing Joe in the next seat.

‘By gory. I can’t believe it. How could you forget her?’ Joe said.”

How could anyone forget Meiling? When Smith knew her, she was a charismatic, high-spirited child who had come to America with Chingling to study as their older sister, Ailing, had. In preparation, they took a first year of college preparation in Summit, New Jersey,

and summer school at Miss Hattie’s in Meredith.

After that they went to Macon, Georgia where Chingling joined Ailing at Wesleyan College for Women, and 10-year-old Meiling received private tutoring and developed her English with a distinct southern drawl. In 1913, after Ailing graduated Wesleyan, she and Chingling entered Wellesley College in Massachusetts and ended their summer forays to Meredith.

Throughout her life, Meiling was a study in contrasts. She drew people to her and as quickly propelled them away. She came from a traditional—but Christian— Chinese family that valued Western education. They schooled both their sons and daughters abroad…at a time when Chinese women’s value was measured predominantly by the smallness of their feet and the rhythmic sway of their hips.

Meiling followed the traditional Chinese custom of marrying to

better the station of her family, but was determined to control her own destiny, writing just a month after her wedding that Chiang “wants me to be identified as his wife; but...I… want to be recognized as a factor because I am I and not because I happen to be his wife.”

The Soongs were a close-knit family. Throughout their lives, Meiling and her two sisters enjoyed spending time together, even when she and Chingling occupied positions as opposing First Lady figures in China’s civil war. Meiling married Chiang Kai-shek, leader of Nationalist forces. Chingling was married to Sun Yat-Sen and, as his widow, became an icon to the Communists. In their final years they lived on opposite sides of a divided China, and both refused to attend family funerals, including Ailing’s, for fear they would be seen together and opposing factions might interpret it as a melting of animosities.

As much as the Soong family saw marriage as a means to bettering the family station, Chiang saw in his young American-educated bride ready tools in his own climb to power. Her fluency in the English language and western culture gave entre to western minds and led her to quickly become her husband’s interpreter and go-between.

In China, she became an object of emulation for women: when wearing traditional clothing, she added fashionable elements, like oversized jewels in fasteners. When wearing western fashions, she saw they were modern and impeccably tailored, often with elements of gold in the trim. Her independent work and charity were groundbreaking in a culture where women were most often relegated to their home.

When Chiang chose Nanking as the Republic of China’s new capital, she led the redesign that retained major elements of the ancient city while improving sanitation and adding • Madame Chiang Kai-shek Continued on page 16

Q&A With The Motor City Madman

Ted Nugent will perform LaconiaFest in Laconia on June 17. The Laker was able to catch up with Mr. Nugent a few weeks back.

The Laker: I know many are excited to have you come for Laconia Bike Week, the oldest Biker Rally in America. Ted: Not as excited as we are!

The Laker: Have you ever been to Lake Winnipesaukee before and if so, what were your thoughts? Did growing up in the Great Lakes shape your childhood in any special way? Ted: Never been to Lake Winni but I am a full-on gungho wilderness guy who thrives beyond the pavement.

I was raised in the forests and swamps of Michigan and have hunted, fished and trapped my entire life. I am convinced that the Great Spirit of the Wild taught me all the critical quality of life priorities that have kept me clean and sober and focused for 67.6 years. The higher level of awareness that is the bowhunting lifestyle maximizes one’s musical capabilities as well as everything important in life.

The Laker: You’ve certainly lived a life of adventure. Has that included any motorcycles? If so, have there been any favorites? Ted: I rode some half ’s bikes in the late 60s on tour with my Amboy Dukes but never really got into the serious iron. I raced off road professionally for a dozen years, so I know all about over-the-top, maniac aggressive driving. A vital portion of my life revolves around horsepower.

The Laker: You’re known as the Motor City Madman. How did the great sounds of Motown influence you musically and artistically growing up? Ted: Listen to Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels song, “Jenny Take A Ride”.

Listen to The Amboy Dukes, early Bob Seger, Grand Funk Railroad, Kid Rock, White Stripes. Michigan rockers absorbed all the intensity of Motown soul, kicked up to a fiery high energy because we so love the music and push

ourselves to the limit. There is no music more powerful, soulful, intense and driving as Motor City rock. The musical authority of all things Motown guided us powerfully.

The Laker: You’re known for being one of America’s best supporters of the chem-free lifestyle. What advice might you give to someone who might have failed in the past to kick bad habits? Ted: I wisely identified the dangers of foolish substance abuse burnout way back in the 1960’s watching the braindead hippies poisoning themselves with drugs, alcohol and tobacco and bad food. I knew instinctively that if I were to honestly pursue my American R&B&R&R Dreams that I had to be absolutely healthy and aware of everything around me. That’s when I promised myself I would never miss a hunting season, never poison my sacred temple, and those soul cleansing healing powers of nature have provided me with unlimited energy and enthusiasm. The purity of a hunting lifestyle is it! Peer pressure is for sheep and weak losers.

Be strong, be honest and respect this precious gift of life in America.

The Laker: As the Motor City Madman, what has the decline of this great city meant to you from what it was in your youth, and what do you believe Detroit must do to return to greatness? Ted: Look what liberal democrats did to my beloved birth city of Detroit. They fundamentally transformed her from the #1 most productive work ethic epicenters into a soul-less bloodsucking hellhole by the evil scamming punks like mayor Coleman Young and his gang of Democrat liars. And yet they continue this recipe for disaster for the country? Are you kidding me? We must demand accountability from our elected employees who currently laugh in America’s face. Raising we the people hell is the only hope to return to that proud shining city on the hill. We can, we are and we will do it.

• Madame Chiang Kai-shek Continued from page 14 electricity. In a culture where public displays of affection were alien, she and Chiang often strolled arm in arm as they inspected Nanking’s progress.

Chiang and Mei-ling had married in 1926, the year before he formed the Republic of China in an effort to stave off the advances of Russianbacked Communism in China.

Full-on war broke out in 1930, and in 1931 Japan attacked, seeing in China’s weakness additional resources for itself.

The strength of China’s Russianbacked Communist Party alarmed the United States. Playing on that fear, the Chiangs and their allies asked for support and financial assistance, warning that if China were to fall into the hands of the Communists, Communism’s march across Europe was sure.

General and Madame Chiang Kai-shek travelled to the West to press their case. An impeccably dressed, well-coiffed, and well-

$200,000 and wired him twice in May for more. In August, Chiang sent another $800,000; a portion of it can be traced to the hiring of a public relations firm.

President Truman ordered the FBI to launch an investigation into claims of illegal financial activity by the Republic of China and the Chiangs. Scant evidence was revealed, perhaps because banks were reluctant to supply information on grounds of privacy. The FBI did not force the issue. Did the warm relationship between Madame Chiang Kai-shek and the agency’s director, J. Edgar Hoover, have any effect on the investigation?

And it was in 1949, too, that Madame Chiang Kaishek’s acquaintance with Lake Winnipesaukee was renewed through her nephew Louis King He bought an estate on Tips Cove off Sewall Road in Wolfeboro adjacent to property owned by Senator Bridges and Congressman Wyman.

Bridges’ biographer James J. Kiepper said, “I guess you could

spoken Meiling charmed powerful Americans, including publishers Henry and Clare Boothe Luce whose Time magazine named the couple “Man and Wife of the Year” in 1938.

An informal China Lobby was established for the support of Chiang’s Republic of China against Communist China, and Styles Bridges, former New Hampshire governor and U.S. senator, and Louis Wyman, a New Hampshire congressman and former aide to Senator Bridges, were included in its numbers. The group tirelessly raised a positive profile for Chiang’s Nationalist forces, and remained staunch supporters for decades.

1949 was a big year for the Chiang Kai-shek’s. The Communists took over Mainland China and the Nationalists retreated to Formosa (now called Taiwan).

Madame Chiang Kai-shek spent much of the year in the United States raising funds and support for the Nationalist cause.

In January, she asked Chiang for

say Louis Kung was the bagman for Chiang’s Nationalist movement in Washington. He funded the lobbying operation in Washington. He gave a lot of money to a lot of people in support of Chiang’s cause.”

However the money was attained to buy the property, it remained in the Kung family for more than three decades. Locals tell anecdotes of seeing Madame Chiang Kai-shek antiquing in the area accompanied by bodyguards, and share stories of huge security operations involving helicopters, boats, and soldiers with rifles when notables arrived. How often she actually visited is up for debate, but we can all take heed from Joe Smith who said, “Well, you’ll never know how far a girl riding on a horse-drawn wagon in Meredith, New Hampshire can go in life. So be nice to ’em all.”

SLA Wetland Ecology Walk Through Belknap Woods Join the Squam Lakes Association (SLA) on June 17, from 9 to 11 am, for a morning of fun and adventure in Belknap Woods; age 12 and up are welcome. As part of the SLA Adventure Ecology program series, conservation intern Stevie Raymond will guide a group of participants in a fun exploration of wetlands and the animals that call these fascinating ecosystems home. Participants will identify amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and bird species as they are encountered throughout the walk.

“Belknap Woods offers a great diversity in wetlands,” says Raymond.

“From the shore land habitat along Squam Lake’s Dog Cove, the Beaver Ponds further into the woods and the stream that connects the two, there are plenty of wetlands to explore during this program.”

Wetlands are some of the most productive ecosystems on the planet that produce a wide variety of flora and fauna. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) describes these systems as “biological supermarkets” that produce large amounts of food and nutrients that attract many animal species.

However, wetlands are often viewed with disgust due to their grim, wet, and disease-ridden appearance, which

The Squam Lakes Association will present an ecology walk in Belknap Woods on June 17; courtesy photo. is unfortunate for animals in these systems.

“More than one-third of the United States’ threatened and endangered species live only in wetlands, and nearly

half use wetlands at some point in their lives,” according to the EPA. In addition to serving various animals and plants, wetlands also provide multiple ecological services to humans.

Examples of these services include improving water quality, water filtration, floodwater storage, and storm protection. Wetlands are also a very important part in the world’s economy, especially that of the United States.

By the end of the walk, participants will be knowledgeable enough to identify multiple species and their habitats as well as the ecological services wetlands provide.

Furthermore, participants will learn how they can contribute to future scientific studies by means of online public data entries such as iNaturalist and eBird.

For more information, or to sign up for the Adventure Ecology Program, visit www.squamlakes.org. or contact the SLA at 968-7336. The SLA offers more Adventure Ecology trips throughout the summer. Every Friday from June 17 through August 19, the free programs are open to the public and cover a variety of nature and conservation-related topics. The Adventure Ecology programs are presented by the Squam Conservation Interns who spend their summers on Squam performing important conservation work in support of the SLA’s mission.

Paintings, Disney Passes and more at Arts Council of Tamworth’s Benefit Auction The Arts Council of Tamworth invites you to a benefit auction on Saturday, June 18 at Runnells Hall, Chocorua, NH, with auctioneers Tom Troon & Sons. The live auction begins at 7 pm; there will be viewing, light refreshments and wine at 6 pm.

Auction proceeds support school and community-wide artist residencies, free creative workshops for people of all ages and unique Choose Your Own Ticket Price performances, and this

year also support the Tamworth 250th Mosaic Project.

This year’s auction is special. In addition to wonderful local items— from gift certificates to local restaurants and shops to greeting cards and locally handmade gifts—and passes to places and events farther afield (four Disney World One-Day Park-Hopper tickets!), the auction will also include over 20 oil and watercolor paintings donated by the late Stephen M. Spalding with

values ranging from $50 to $2000.

Stephen Spalding was an avid art collector and traveler. Born in Honolulu, his collection reflects the many landscapes he inhabited from the distant tropics to quaint New England scenes. Mr. Spalding often visited Tamworth to see his aunt, Joan Cave, and desired for his collection to give back to the community she loved.

Charity auctions are win, win, win. Businesses get exposure and

connect to new customers, patrons can find bargains on special items or bid on goods and services they would buy anyway, and the nonprofit gets invaluable support for its work.

Proceeds from this auction help support all Arts Council of Tamworth’s diverse and affordable arts programming, so the whole community wins. Visit www.artstamworth.org, and please invite your friends to attend the auction as well.

Planning is Underway for Tuftonboro Old Home Days!

Planning is well underway for Tuftonboro Old Home Days, which will take place from August 26 to 28.

A small committee is working to create a weekend full of fun events that will include something for everyone.

Friday’s events will include an ice cream social and a movie under the stars, featuring The Goonies (PG) an ’80s family classic about teenage misfits searching for buried pirate treasure.

Saturday will offer a day full of events, such as the Tuftonboro 5k Run/ Walk including a new edition this year of a kid’s obstacle course, a scavenger hunt hosted by the Tuftonboro Historical Society, an antique car show featuring antique automobiles through the early 1970s, a cardboard boat race at 19 Mile Beach, a baked chicken dinner complete with salads and dessert followed by a Contra dance with local favorites, caller Dudley & Jacqueline Laufman.

Sunday rounds out the weekend with a pick-up softball game at Davis Memorial Field, a nature walk led by Steve Wingate, a town picnic complete with field games, a dunk tank and live music by local musicians including

Mark Dearborn and Brian Hastings.

Historically, old home days were offered to communities as a chance to return to one’s hometown. People came back, reconnected to childhood friends and family and participated in all sorts of fun games and gatherings. Tuftonboro’s first Old Home Days event in August carries on that old-fashioned tradition; be sure to save the dates and come out and enjoy some community fun.

As part of the community involvement, the 5th grade at Tuftonboro School participated in a logo design contest held by the Old Home Day Committee. The winning design by Lauren MacPhee was used to create limited-edition Mason jar mugs to commemorate the event. The mugs are currently for sale at the Tuftonboro Town Offices; be sure to get yours be-

fore they are gone!

Tuftonboro 5th grader, Lauren MacPhee, holds her Tuftonboro Old Home Days logo design.

Musical Entertainment by the Rockin’ Daddios With their signature doo-wop style and accent on harmonies and fun lyrics, the Rockin’ Daddios bring back some of the best-loved songs of the late ‘50s and early ‘60s.

Comprised of Lakes Region residents Jim Rogato, Bo Guyer, Angelo Gentile and Drew Seneca, the group performs classics including “Book of Love,” “Blue Moon,” and “Teenager in Love.”

On Monday, June 20 at 7 pm,

the group will bring their harmonies together at Taylor Community’s Woodside Building on Union Avenue in Laconia. This free event is open to the public, but RSVPs are requested by calling 524-5600.

Plan to attend the concert, sit back and relax and let the Rockin’ Daddios take you back in time!

It’s Summer Fair Season in the Lakes Region!

By Sarah Wright I love street fairs for the crafts, the antiques, and sometimes a great bargain. My sons enjoy the fried dough and rides. There’s something for everyone at festivals all around the lake. What better way to spend a summer weekend than at a fair with family and friends? Here are some fairs to check out this summer, whether by car or by boat!

A 4th of July Weekend Craft Fair wil take place at Gunstock on Cherry Valley Rd. in Gilford on July 2 and 3, presented by Joyce’s Crafte Shows.

The show is held rain or shirne from 10am to 4pm under tents and canopies.

On July 8 to 10, come to the On the Green 1 Arts & Crafts Festival at Brewster Academy on Main Street in Wolfeboro. There will be over 80 vendors selling jewelry, home décor items, floral arrangements, glass art, gourmet foods, wooden crafts, and more. Admission is free and the fair will be open from 10 am to 5 pm on Friday and Saturday, and from 10 am to 4 pm on Sunday. Enjoy live music by the Rockin’ Daddios on Saturday.

Center Harbor will hold its annual Flea Market and Craft Fair on Saturday, July 9, from 8 am until 2 pm. This popular event will be held on the grounds of the Center Harbor Congregational Church, UCC and is for the support of the church’s programs. Vendors offer a wide variety of handcrafted items including woodcrafts, soaps, children’s accessories, jewelry, antiques, and baked goods. There will be plenty of

food available, including strawberry shortcake at the “café” under the trees.

Don’t miss the “Trifles and Treasures” tables inside the church hall, which is handicapped accessible. Parking and admission are free.

If you have young children, you’ll want to check out the Fairy Land Festival on Saturday, July 9 at Cate Park in Wolfeboro. The park will be transformed into a magical land with dozens of one-of-a-kind, beautiful, handmade fairy houses displayed among the natural surroundings.

Fairy houses are tiny homes made with “found” materials, like twigs, shells, leaves, bark, pine needles, and acorn caps that turn into foundations, roofs, walkways, and doors. Peruse the houses from 10 am until 2 p m and vote for your favorite. Kids will be able to join in the magic by building their

own fairy houses at a fully stocked craft table. There will be twigs, moss, acorns, pine cones, boxes, and glue, among other materials to help children create their own masterpiece. Children can also have their faces painted and participate in a scavenger hunt.

Admission is a suggested donation of $5 per person, and the proceeds will benefit The Wolfeboro Area Children’s Center.

A big hit among fair-goers in the Lakes Region is the Annual Craft Fair at the Bay on Route 11 in Alton Bay. The event will be on July 16 and 17 from 10 am to 5 pm. Artists from all across New England will be exhibiting their work, from arts and crafts to paintings and sculptures. Visitors can shop for jewelry, floral arrangements, photography, woodcrafts, scarves, soaps, stained glass, knits, hair

accessories, furniture, pottery, candles, doll clothes, handbags, and more.

Shoppers can also enjoy live music and specialty food booths. Sample gourmet specialty foods including herbal dips and salsas. Admission and parking are free, the event is by Castleberry Fairs & Festivals.

The Annual Huggins Hospital Street Fair will be held on Friday, August 5 and Saturday, August 6 at Brewster Academy on Main Street in Wolfeboro. This is a very popular fair with bargain hunters. Thousands of items are donated to raise money for the hospital, including toys, sporting goods, household décor, furniture, clothing, books, and lots more. There will be plenty of food for sale, as well as treats like fried dough, cotton candy, and caramel apples in the ride area.

Yes, this fair has rides! The whole family can enjoy rides and games at the amusement portion of the fair. The fair is open from 10 am until 10 pm, both days, with a live auction on Saturday, beginning at 11 am.

The 72nd Annual Belknap County 4-H Fair is on August 13 and 14 this year, at the Belknap County Fairgrounds off Route 106, on Mile Hill Road in Belmont. The fair will feature animal shows, oxen and tractor pulls, horses, live demonstrations, 4-H exhibits, live music, and plenty of delicious food.

The brainchild of Director Karen Jordan, the camp is unlike any other in the area in its mixture of offerings and opportunities for students. “We have such a great resource of talented music and art teachers in this region, that it only makes sense to offer a specialized camp,” says Jordan. “Our mission will be to maximize the potential of each child through a quality curriculum that will stimulate thought and learning, in a safe and caring environment.”

Four experienced instructors will make up the staff. Music educator Phil Breton taught music in the Laconia School System for 31 years, and accompanies community theater groups, is an organist at Gilford’s

First United Methodist Church, and plays the viola with the Lakes Region Symphony Orchestra. Alison Witham, an art educator at Laconia High School, is certified to teach music and art K-12, and is a flutist with the LR Symphony Orchestra. Vickie Wood Parrish is an accomplished musician on the French horn, a pianist, and a retired pastor who also holds a degree in music education. Camp Director Karen Jordan is a professional singer/ actress, current director of the Lakes Region Singers and Youth Chorus, and the Wesley Choir at the First United Methodist Church, and past director of choral music at Inter-Lakes High School in Meredith.

The camp will offer students options to participate in beginner or experienced instrumental lessons, basic keyboard skills, bell choir, LRM&A Camp chorus, vocal training, theater classes including audition preparation, art classes, and new this year, every camper will learn to play the violin, the rental of which is included in the tuition.

The great thing with learning to play the violin is that the fingerings are very much like the guitar and most students will be able to transition if they desire to. “The campers will be allowed to work at their own pace,” says Jordan, “while also being encouraged to try new things.” Campers should bring their own instruments if they have one.

The camp’s setting will be at the First United Methodist Church in Gilford.

According to Jordan, “The church has generously offered to sponsor us, and their support was integral in making this project a reality. The building is perfect for our use, and the welllandscaped grounds will be wonderful for taking many activities outside.”

Dates for the camp will run August 8 to 12, Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 4 pm, and the planners would like registration and payment to be completed by July 22. The cost for the camp will be $220 for the week, which includes violin rental. There are a limited number of scholarships available, and alternative drop-off or pick-up times can be arranged for a small fee, if needed. While classes are expected to be small, there is no size cap at present. Campers should plan to bring their own lunches and snacks, but the church will provide drinks throughout the day.

For more information or for registration forms, please contact Director Karen Jordan at 524-0835, the First United Methodist Church office at 524-3289 or at soprano00134@ gmail.com.

Belknap Mill Society Invites the Community to a Celebration of Peter S. Karagianis The Belknap Mill Society invites the community to a public celebration of Peter S. Karagianis on Thursday, June 23, in recognition of his leadership to ensure the preservation of the Belknap Mill in downtown Laconia.

The event will kick off on the lawn in front of the Belknap Mill at 9 am with a ribbon-cutting ceremony commemorating the official opening of Peter Karagianis Way. Following the ceremony, the Belknap Mill will host an open house with cake throughout the day, in celebration of Peter’s enduring legacy and his nearly 100 years of commitment to the community. A special exhibition commemorating his work and achievements on behalf of the Lakes Region will be on display. Everyone is invited to stop by and celebrate Peter’s life.

Also on June 23, the Belknap Mill will feature the grand re-opening of Riverside Gifts, offering a wide selection of locally made products. An exhibition by River Crew Art, featuring artwork by Laconia’s homeless community, will be on display in the Riverside Gallery.

“The Belknap Mill is a testament to the industrial heritage of the Lakes Region,” said Allison Ambrose, President of the Belknap Mill Society.

“We are honored to celebrate Peter’s commitment to secure our past and to bear witness to the ongoing evolution of manufacturing in our community. He leaves behind a remarkable legacy. We will never forget his great work.”

The Belknap Mill Society, located at 25 Beacon St. East in Laconia, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to preserve the Belknap Mill as the Lakes Region’s unique historic gathering place and a center for awardwinning cultural and educational programs. Built in 1823, the Belknap Mill is the oldest unaltered textile mill in the United States and is recognized on the National Register of Historic Places as a site worthy of preservation.

The Society relies on the continued support of donors and its members.
