Saving … and Sharing Lakeport Story and Photos by Kathi Caldwell-Hopper

The Lakeport Railroad Museum has a big story to tell and it is not just about the railroad. Although the railroad once made regular stops in Lakeport (a section of the city of Laconia), the museum encompasses much more than old train memorabilia.

Indeed, the members of the Lakeport Community Association (LCA), the organization that oversees the museum, work hard to preserve Lakeport’s history for future generations.

Three members of the Association have been involved in the museum for a long time and are eager to share the story and the collection the museum has amassed. Robert Fortier, Ginger Ryan and Brenda Moulton have lived in Lakeport most of their lives and are members of the Lakeport Community Association.

“The Association started in about 1997 as a non profit,” said Robert.

“Before that we met informally. The Association leases the railroad building from the City of Laconia and they in turn lease it from the State of NH.” (The Lakeport Community Association is dedicated to improving appreciation and to enlighten the public about the Lakeport community and its heritage, especially as a hub for the Boston & Maine Railroad. The LCA meets at the freight house the first and third Tuesdays of each month and is open to

the public, according to www.lakeportcommunityassociation.org).

Historically, the freight building was constructed in 1899 and opened next to the busy railroad tracks near Lakeport Square in 1900. Lakeport was a thriving town because of the rail line from about 1850 to the 1960s.

The Boston and Maine Railroad constructed the Freight House. It was well built (which is probably why it withstood the elements after it was no longer in use). The timbers were of spruce and they covered the roof and sidewalls. The roof was of top quality cedar shingles. Floor joists, girders, sills and platform joists were well made.

The building was a freight house with an office and was once a bustling place with all sorts of freight coming

and going via the railroad. Across the tracks was the railroad station where travelers could rest between trains or purchase tickets.

By 1972, the building was no longer used by the railroad, at which time it found new uses for civic groups.

Later, it was used as a location for a glass shop until the late 1990s.

By that time, it seemed the days of the building were numbered and it was slated for demolition. Luckily, the

Lakeport Community Association was aware of the demise of the freight station and moved forward to save the building. The passenger station was set for demolition as well and fortunately Association members were able to salvage some material from that building to use in the refurbishing of the freight building.

In 2004, the Association got a lease from the City of Laconia and work began to save the freight station.

The building sat empty for years after the trains ceased to run and the Association members knew that the structure was in rough shape.

Robert recalls that there were trees growing through the roof. “We put a lot of work into the building,” added Ginger.

That is certainly an understatement.

Any old building that sits empty will fall into disrepair.

Luckily for the former freight station, some Association members grew up in Lakeport and had fond

memories of the days when the trains ran through the village. They were determined to see the freight station structure restored.

Robert and Ginger went to the same elementary school and hold a lifetime of memories of living in Lakeport. The old railroad building was important and Robert, Ginger and other Association members saw the value in fixing up the spot to use for community events and as a place to house Lakeport memorabilia.

The building is now a museum with a large collection of Lakeport historical items; it is also where the Association holds meetings.

Although much work has been done to save the freight station, such as painting, fixing the interior and the roof, the work of keeping an old building in good condition is never ending.

The Association runs yard sales from time to time to raise money – the next yard sale will be on June 27; a calendar with historical photos of Lakeport is printed and sold each year to also raise money.

All the fundraising is worth it for members such as Ginger, Robert and Brenda. They have seen the old freight station take on a new life as a museum that holds many, many artifacts of Lakeport memorabilia donated from people all over the country with ties to Lakeport “We had a donation from a lady in California,” recalled Ginger. She sent the Association two coins that were

melted together due to the intense heat from the early 1900s Great Lakeport Fire.

Unusual items with a strong Lakeport connection are welcomed for the collection. “If people run across old Lakeport things, we are always interested,” said Robert.

The collection in the museum (which is open every Wednesday from 10 am to 2 pm in June, July and August and the first and third Wednesdays from 10 am to 2 pm from September through November) is incredibly varied and quite fascinating.

A statue that once sat on the lawn of the village’s Goss Reading Room now has a permanent home in the Railroad Museum. Other items include old signs, the ornate lights from the original Lakeport Catholic church, knitting machines once used in a local factory, theatre seats from the Lakeport Opera House and even an old beauty salon machine once used to give women permanents in days gone by.

A fascinating item in the museum is a huge old wooden plow that was once used to clear snow from the streets in Lakeport. Placed near the plow, a large wooden item that looks like a barrel was actually part of a water intake system in Paugus Bay. Large glass cases protect railroad memorabilia, china, photos and clothing to name but a few of the hundreds of Lakeport related items on display.

An old chandelier has become part of the collection, and Robert says they were told it once hung in O’Shea’s (de-

Along with the wonderful museum/ former freight station, the Association also has a boxcar that has been placed next to the station. It provides muchneeded additional space for those allimportant yard sale fundraisers.

The boxcar is a 50 ft., 40-ton metal car that was moved to its new home in 2008 after the sidetrack at the freight building in Lakeport was repaired. The car was painted at considerable expense with durable paint to withstand rust and the varying NH weather conditions.

Those who visit to see the fascinating objects from Lakeport’s rich past will be fortunate should Ginger or Robert be on duty. They have many memories of growing up in the Lakeport area and can tell visitors about the past, such as the Great Lakeport Fire (although it was before their time), how the fire started, what homes and businesses burned and those that were saved, and much more.

Robert and his wife took a lot of time to create a huge wall map showing which Lakeport homes and businesses were razed by the Great Lakeport Fire and which were untouched. The map, which is part of the permanent exhibit in the museum, is an amazing look at how fire nearly destroyed an entire community.

Get them talking about growing up in Lakeport and you might hear some fascinating tidbits such as Ginger’s recollection of picking bags of milk pods in a local field. The soft and fluffy pods were used during World War II as filling for flotation devices. (Both Robert and Ginger remember collecting scrap metal and other things for the war effort when they were kids.) They can talk about what life was like in a small community during times of trouble and times of celebration.

They speak fondly of Lakeport resident and LCA member, Wanda Tibbetts, who spearheaded much of the effort to save the freight station.

Tibbetts passed away shortly before the museum opened and they credit her with the energy and vision to make the project a reality.

Lest one assume the Association is focused solely on the Railroad Museum, it should be noted the group also offers a yearly scholarship to a worthy Lakeport student. They also decorate for autumn and Christmas and make things attractive with flower gardens in the local park. “We also have a Santa for kids every holiday season,” says Robert.

The activities of the LCA are devoted to community involvement through annual clean up, plantings and decorations of Torrey Park; annual care of the historic chestnut tree in Torrey Park; community events commemorating anniversaries such as the Great Fire of Lakeport 1903 and the 100th Anniversary of the Goss Reading Room; Good Neighbor Day; donations and support of the Goss Reading Room; participating activities and events for local residents including those at Lake Village; restoration and care of Bond Beach; Adopt-A-Spot; ongoing collections of Lakeport and Boston & Maine Railroad memorabilia; programs of interest on local history open to the general public; providing forums for the campaigns of local officials; representing the community’s interest and many other community improvements.

Those interested in visiting the Lakeport Railroad Museum can stop by on Wednesdays from 10 am to 2 pm through September; call ahead for group tours. Contact Robert Fortier at 524-3519; Ginger Ryan at 524-1593 or Brenda Moulton at 528-2879.

The Lakeport Railroad Museum is located at 5 Railroad Avenue in Lakeport off Elm Street.

New Hampshire Boat Museum Launches Summer Lecture Series The New Hampshire Boat Museum’s first lecture of the summer, titled Governor Wentworth’s Plantation in Wolfeboro: A Window on the Frontier of Early America by Dr. David Starbuck, professor of anthropology at Plymouth State University, will be held on Thurs., June 25 at 7 pm and is free and open to the public. The lecture is supported by a grant from the New Hampshire Humanities Council, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Dr. Starbuck’s lecture will look at the impact Governor Wentworth had on the lake named in his honor.

The talk will focus on how New Hampshire’s dynamic Revolutionary War-era governor impacted Lake Wentworth and Wolfeboro socially and economically. Starbuck also will speak on the archaeological dig at the Wentworth home site that he conducted in the 1980s.

The governor’s plans for intensive farming, land management, and settlement of the area had a huge impact on both Lake Wentworth and Wolfeboro. Modeling his home and plantation after the estates of Yorkshire,

England, the Governor’s property was the grandest in New England. To bring workers and goods to his estate, Governor Wentworth was instrumental in building the first roads to Wolfeboro.

He also encouraged settlement of the town.

Using archaeology and primary documents, Dr. Starbuck will show how Governor Wentworth’s dream was to make Wolfeboro the summer capital of New Hampshire. The Governor’s dreams were not realized due to his Tory sympathies. During the start of the Revolution, Wentworth and his family fled New Hampshire never to return.

However, the work he accomplished greatly affected the development of Wolfeboro and Lake Wentworth.

The New Hampshire Boat Museum is open daily for the 2015 season through Mon., October 12 from 10 am-4 pm, Monday through Saturday, and Sunday from noon-4 pm. The Museum is located at 399 Center Street, Wolfeboro Falls, two miles from downtown Wolfeboro in the former Allen “A” Resort dance hall. Contact the museum at 569-4554, museum@nhbm.org, www.nhbm.org or via Facebook.

School’s Out! It’s Time for Summer Fun!

By Sarah Wright Summertime means lazy days at the beach, followed by ice cream at the docks, but sometimes it’s nice to spend a day without sand between your toes or ice cream on your shirt. There are plenty of fun ideas for the whole family all around the lake this summer.

What child doesn’t enjoy Funspot in Weirs Beach? The largest arcade in the world has many classic games and pinball machines, and even bumper cars for the kids. Enjoy bingo, bowling, and a new 18-hole indoor mini-golf course.

Challenge yourself at Monkey Trunks, an outside adventure course with zip lines. There’s something for everyone at www.funspotnh.com. Funspot is located at 579 Endicott St. North in Laconia. It’s open every day from 9:00 am until 11:00 pm. Call ahead for Monkey Trunks at 367-4427.

More family entertainment is just down the road at the Daytona Fun Park, which has an outdoor climbing course as well as batting cages, bumper boats, and Go-Karts. The Logs of Fun Arcade next door has a 24-foot indoor climbing wall. Located in the Alpenrose Plaza at the Weirs in Laconia, they’re open from noon until dusk, weather permitting.

If you haven’t been to Castle in the Clouds yet, put it on your to-do list this summer. Enjoy the breathtaking views of Lake Winnipesaukee from this beautiful, turn-of-the-century mansion. On your way up the mountain, pull over to

see a huge boulder and take the short walk to a beautiful waterfall. Once at the top, you can stroll through beautiful gardens and the kids can feed the giant trout in Shannon Pond. Visit, gift shop and peruse some art in the new gallery. If you get hungry, you can have a delicious lunch or snack at the Carriage House Café. There is also a riding stable on the property, if you’d like to take a horseback or pony ride.

For more information, visit www. castleintheclouds.org. The Castle is open daily from 10:30 am to 5:30 pm.

My boys love Squam Lakes Natural Science Center and I do, too! It’s an easy nature trail and zoo all in one.

Take a walk through the woods and learn about the animals of New Hampshire along the way. There are plenty of

interactive exhibits for kids and adults alike. Pack a lunch or have a bite at the café in Kirkwood Gardens. Don’t miss the river otter feedings at 11:30 am on

maze. You’ll surely understand why New Hampshire is called, “The Granite State!” I would recommend stretching your legs before crouching through the caves, but you can choose to bypass them and wait for the kids at each exit.

Children will also enjoy feeding the fallow deer, ducks and pheasants, or finding gems and minerals in the Polar Mining Sluice. An attraction since 1922, Polar Caves won’t disappoint.

The caves are open daily from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm. Visit www.polarcaves. com for further information.

Experience the open water on board the M/S Mount Washington at Weirs Beach daily, with stops in Wolfeboro,

Meredith, Alton Bay, and Center Harbor on alternating days. Learn some local history from the narrator while you take in the beautiful scenery. On summer evenings, the ship turns into a floating restaurant and nightclub, with a buffet dinner and live music on the dance floor. On Sundays, there are Champagne Brunch Cruises from Weirs Beach and Alton Bay. Kids might also like a ride on the smaller Sophie C., a U.S. Mail Boat. Sit back and enjoy the ride as the mail carrier makes deliveries to the many islands on Lake Winnipesaukee. For a detailed schedule as well as admission prices, visit www.cruisenh.com or call 3665531.

Why not take the kids camping for a night or two? I like the campsites at White Lake State Park off Route 16 in Tamworth. There’s a great playground and walking trail around the lake, as well as the option to rent canoes, kayaks, paddle boards, row boats, and paddle boats. The lake is a great spot to fish for trout as well. The park is open daily from 8:30 am to 8:30 pm, and you can go for the day and skip the overnight if you like. Call 323-7350 for further information. Pets are not permitted in the park.

Remember to pack the bug spray and sunscreen, and have a great summer!

Whale’s Tale Waterpark Summer Kick Off Whale’s Tale Waterpark is starting its peak summer season on Fri., June 26, with the all-new White Mountain Summer Kick Off, featuring waterpark attractions, live music and entertainment, and family fun and games. The event benefits the Life is good Playmakers Foundation, with $10 from every $35 ticket sold donated to the organization.

In addition to its usual full array of waterpark attractions for all ages, the nationally renowned Jimmy Buffet tribute band, Gary Roland and the Landsharks, will lend a tropical feel to the event, beginning at noon on the Waveside Stage. The band has played with Jimmy Buffet and the Beach Boys, has performed at many top events and venues, including the Super Bowl and Disney World, and was the “house band” at Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville at Universal Orlando for two years.

For kids of all ages, the Airborne Comedians will be roaming throughout the park, often on their seven-foot unicycles, juggling a cornucopia of objects including lawn chairs, flaming torches, hats, clubs, balls, rings, electric guitars, fruits and random objects from the crowd. The Life is good Playmak-

ers booth will feature hourly kids’ competitions, lawn games and face painting.

Life is good Playmakers Foundation’s vision is a world where all children grow up feeling safe, loved and joyful. It partners with frontline professionals such as teachers, social workers and child life specialists who dedicate their lives to helping children overcome poverty, violence and illness. These Playmakers use the power of play to build healing, life-changing relationships with children in their care.

Admission includes all waterpark attractions and live entertainment; parking and tubes are always free.

“Life is good and our non-profit The Playmakers are thrilled to be a part of Whale’s Tale Waterpark’s White Mountain Summer 6/23-8/30 Kick Off,” commented Life is good partner, Rich Cremin. “Rides, live music, games, prizes and plenty of family fun – sounds like our kind of good time!”

“We are excited to welcome this summer’s peak season with some big-name entertainment to complement our full variety of waterpark attractions for every age and thrill level,” stated Jeb Boyd, CEO/general manager of Whale’s Tale Water-

A Freeing Approach To Life

By Thomas P. Caldwell Negative experiences often produce a negative outlook on life that people have difficulty breaking away from. Mary Howe said it is not just abuse, trauma, problems with debt, or family commitments that can leave people feeling unhappy and helpless. Even those with good jobs, a supportive family, and a nice home can feel dissatisfied with life, and that dissatisfaction can lead to depression and self-doubt.

Mary, who refers to herself as a “success strategist”, said that people need to develop a strategy that lets them choose where to go, rather than letting life’s problems carry them along.

“It’s about not being afraid to go through that door,” she said.

Mary helps people to set goals and make better decisions in order to create a fulfilling life and career.

“I’ve got techniques I use,” Mary said, “but when it comes down to it, I try to make people understand that they deserve happiness and success, and they can let go of the things they drag around with them.”

Mary became a life coach in 1997, after having raised a family of five.

Trained to listen and advise, life coaches offer the hope of changing a negative outlook and a sense of helplessness into empowerment, teaching people to take charge of their lives, sometimes for the first time.

“By listening, observing, and providing feedback,” she says on her website, maryrhowe.com, “Mary guides you, customizing an individualized strategy that will help you more fully realize your potential in virtually every area of your life, from the personal and professional to your health and finances.”

Mary offers coaching over the phone, as well as maintaining office space at Riverview Place in Tilton where she can meet with people for

sit-down sessions. She also holds workshops there.

But she seems happiest and most productive when leading “circles” at various locations away from her office.

Mary tells of leading students at a school in New London on an “earth journey” in which she started by asking them to lie down and take off their shoes, so they could feel the earth and be close to nature. She asked each of them to give his or her name, and then she talked about being connected and disconnected. When she asked who felt connected, no one raised a hand; but everyone raised a hand when she asked about feeling disconnected.

Mary led them on a discussion about the world around them, talking about animals and insects, and she said the students got quiet and listened intently. At the end of 40 minutes, the school’s guidance counselor, who was observing, said, “We need this as an extracurricular program, and we need to get the parents on board,” according to Mary.

She asked the students to send their reactions, and they responded with descriptions of feeling a “surge of relief” and similar feelings.

“And that’s all from one session,” Mary said, adding that the same thing happens with adults.

In her work, Mary urges her clients to take responsibility for their lives, “tapping into your inherent resources and creativity to achieve the life that until now you’ve only thought about.”

Mary said that, although she began formal training later in life, she has always been empathic. “Children and even adults would talk to me about situations and problems, and my life’s education at a younger age set me up to become a listener.”

Mary had grown up on a working farm in Massachusetts where she rode horses and grew her own food, and

when she moved to New Hampshire, horses remained a part of her life. She said she started giving riding lessons in the 1970s, and she found that many of the children who took lessons had “a lot of dysfunctions”.

“By being with the animals,” she said, “they could listen. Where they wouldn’t trust a human, being with the horses gradually drew them out. It’s something about the horse energy that helped.”

The experience got her thinking about helping others to find emotional wellness.

“It was just a time in my own life

where I didn’t know what I was doing,” Mary said. “I didn’t know how to raise a family, but I wanted one, and ended up with five children — real contributors to life, with that kid adventure spirit.

I’m blessed with them.”

She took a coaching course over the phone over a period of three years in the early 1990s, “with volumes of books” to go along with the classes, a precursor of today’s online classes.

That set her on the path to life coaching.

“Then I became a single mother and

• Life Continued on page 16

Page 16

June 22, 2015

• Life Continued from page 15 I had to feed my kids, so I started doing odd jobs,” Mary said. “I’ve always worked for myself, and I found that what paid the bills was working on the farm with organic farming. I loved being grounded in the earth,” she said.

After her father died, she took up neurological linguistic programming, or NLP, a method that has clients visualize their goals, verbalize them, and turn them into behavioral habits.

The training was in Sacramento CA and in Nevada.

“I was doing circles out there, and planned them to last 45 minutes, but people felt so relaxed, it would be two hours later and I’d finally have to say it’s time to break the circle,” Mary recalled.

She first trained as a practitioner, then as a master, and finally did the trainer level. “I was still grieving for my Dad, and formal learning was always a challenge for me, so I retook the whole thing,” she said.

Mary also learned to use hypnosis to help clients overcome pain, anxiety, and stress; and trained in emotional freedom techniques, or EFT, in which the client applies pressure on acupuncture points to relieve the triggers for emotional and physical discomfort, allowing a more balance frame of mind.

Mary also has her clients look at the emotional timelines of their lives to understand the chain of events that has led to internal strife and bad behavior.

By visualizing themselves standing apart and looking at those events from different perspectives, she said clients are able to adjust their patterns of

11 Unique & Special Weekends in 2015

behavior to achieve what they want.

The overarching goal is to help people recognize what is wrong, including their own unrealistic expectations and excuses that lead to failure. By turning negative thinking patterns into goal-oriented habits, Mary says people can reawaken their passion for life and, in the process, build stronger relationships with others, while also realizing their goals.

“People are overly medicated, and they’re in a hurry or in a knee-jerk mode. When given the easy route, people will take it,” Mary said.

“I don’t believe in forcing anything.

Sometimes it takes just a word,” she said. “I stress that an open hand holds more than a closed fist.”

She also works at eliminating what she refers to as “limiting beliefs”: “The biggest thing holding people back is the fear of walking through a door into something they’re not familiar with.”

Those limiting beliefs are often things parents inadvertently teach their children. Repeatedly stressing that something desired is too expensive, or that they should focus on a job they are not interested in, shuts a door in their lives.

“Some people are not conscious that they’re in a mess,” Mary said.

“They just take it for granted. For me, it’s a good thing to live a little uncomfortably, because it leads them

on. You have to get over yourself, and don’t let something stop you.”

Mary has found that giving someone a small rock is a useful tool in making a decision. “Pick up the rock, and flip it over, and examine every decision,” she said. “Flip it over again, and think of another consequence of the decision. It helps to make the right one.”

Mary is putting together a group of attorneys, financial planners, and others to form a team that can offer help to families going through a divorce.

“I want to see people and children happy,” she said. “Rather than hold onto grudges, we would emphasize a shift so they can make choices for the future and the present moment.

Everything is a choice, and my vision is to break that old link that divorce has to be bitter and continuous.”

She is especially interested in freeing the children of divorce. “Children will emulate the anger,” she said. “I truly believe that if the parents understand about letting go and learning to cope well without asking the kid to become a spy, it will carry through.”

She sums up her lesson this way: “If you’re not aware of what’s out there, how do you know what’s right for you?”

Local Author Book Signings Carl Howe Hansen has lived in many places, but when asked, he answers that he “grew up” in New Hampshire. He is a musician, technician, sailor, and cabinetmaker, but always a writer. His first novel, Destiny, got off to a rough start.

In 1978, while he wandered the bazaar of Tangier, Morocco, a knife-wielding thief stole his bag containing the first handwritten manuscript. Eventually he settled in New England, returning to Sandwich, NH, to live and work, and to the coast of Maine to sail his boat.

Along the way, he managed to find the lost works of Destiny and make them appropriate for today.

Bayswater Books of Center Harbor is pleased to host Carl Howe Hansen for a book signing on Fri., June 26 from 10:30 am-12:30 pm.

On Sat., June 27, author Andy Opel will sign copies of his newest book, The Mansion, A Winnipesaukee Mystery, from 11 am-1 pm. (Opel’s other books, The Witches and The Weirs will also be available.)

From the author/illustrator team that produced the award-winning children’s book, The Witches: A Winnipesaukee Adventure, comes the third book in the Winnipesaukee Adventures series and this time it’s a mystery. Join Jack, Franny and J.J. as they learn about how the lake used to be and Grammy tells them a spooky story about when she was a little girl.

Drawing on actual Winnipesaukee

history, The Mansion reminds readers of a simpler time on the lake when extended families shared small vacation cottages for family fun. Back then, large houses were rare and one that stood out was the old Hutchins Mansion on Governor’s Island. (Stilson Hutchins was born in Whitefield, NH, and gained fame as the founder of The Washington Post. In 1885, he built a mansion on Governor’s Island. After years of hosting many dignitaries, including German Ambassador Baron Von Sternburg, the Hutchins family sold the house in 1920. The house fell into disrepair during the Depression, and many people believed the place was haunted. The mansion burned to the ground in 1935.)

Andy Opel and his family have been coming to Lake Winnipesaukee for five generations and family stories and traditions are his inspiration for his books. Andy worked closely with his mother, Jane Opel, to develop the newest addition to the Winnipesaukee Adventures series. Jane passed away in April of 2013 and this story is based on an adventure she had with her cousins when she was a little girl. Jane’s grandmother brought her to the lake as an infant, establishing a long tradition of grandmothers making special things happen at the lake.

For illustrator Karel Hayes, The Mansion is her 27th children’s book and the third project where she has

collaborated with her son, John Gorey. Karel is well known for her Summer Visitors series published by Down East Press.

Three Properties Added to NH State Register of Historic Places The New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources announces the State Historical Resources Council has added three more properties to the New Hampshire State Register of Historic Places.

The State Register helps to promote the significance of many historic properties across New Hampshire.

The most recent additions include the Reuben Whitten House, the Bristol Fire Station and the Samuel Haley Farm.

The Reuben Whitten House in Ashland is a modest building with an unusual story. In 1816, known as The Year Without a Summer, there was snow in June and killing frosts every month. Despite these weather challenges, Whitten managed to raise 40 bales of wheat on a southfacing slope at his farm and dry it on the hearth of his house. He shared this bounty with his neighbors, many whose crops had failed, and he is still remembered for his generosity nearly 200 years later.

The Bristol Fire Station served as the first purpose-built fire station in town from 1889 to 1974. It is a physical representation of Bristol’s growth and the need for and expansion of town services. Now home to the Bristol Historical Society, the building retains its 19th century hose-drying tower as well as the 1953 addition that was built to accommodate new equipment.

The Samuel Haley Farm in Epping is

an excellent example of the evolution of a family farmstead from 1765 through the 1950’s. It includes many outbuildings as well as a farmhouse that still has its original 1760’s Georgian framing, Federal style details from the 1830’s and Greek Revival style updates from the 1850’s. Highly productive in the 19th century, the farm’s land and buildings encompass the history of agriculture in Epping.

Anyone wishing to nominate a property to the New Hampshire State Register of Historic Places must research the history of the nominated property and document it fully on individual inventory forms from the New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources. Having a property listed in the Register does not impose restrictions on property owners. For more information, visit www.nh.gov/ nhdhr.

New Hampshire’s Division of Historical Resources, the State Historic Preservation Office, was established in 1974. The historical, archeological, architectural, engineering and cultural resources of New Hampshire are among the most important environmental assets of the state. Historic preservation promotes the use, understanding and conservation of such resources for the education, inspiration, pleasure and enrichment of New Hampshire’s citizens.

Yesteryear Old Lakes Region Hotels

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper

If you were lucky enough to take a vacation or trip in the 1800s or early 1900s, you enjoyed a much different holiday experience than we are used to today.

From the hotel or inn where you stayed to the transportation used to reach the Lakes Region and White Mountains, to the activities you chose to do on your vacation, things were quite different long ago.

According to The Early Days of Eaton by Nella and Keith Henney, the popularity of White Mountain vacations had reached even more rural areas such as tiny Eaton, NH. Remote farms opened parlors and bedrooms to vacationers who wanted to experience

rural NH in its truest form and the added income was a boost to rural residents.

Eaton had a number of places where travelers could spend a week or longer.

Berkshire Farm, Farm Cottage and Queen Ann Cottage were tranquil places where visitors could find room and board. These early lodging establishments charged just $1 a day or $5 for a week’s stay. It is not known how the farms fit in so many guests – each was advertised as offering rooms for up to eight guests – but visitors loved it so much they returned year after year.

In Eaton Center, visitors could choose from the Hotel Robertson, which charged $1 a day; the hotel had lodgings for up to 25 guests. Also

in Eaton Center, the Palmer House offered 30 guest rooms. Crystal Lake was nearby and a treat for vacationers that want to fish or take out a canoe for an afternoon on the water.

Not far from Eaton, an enterprising man named Harry Pascoe constructed a large inn called the Lake Ossipee House. The inn was quite large, with about 50 rooms. In Images of America Ossipee Riverlands by Carol C. Foord and Sheila T. Jones, it is mentioned that the inn had its own electric power plant. Pascoe must have been an astute innkeeper because the power from the Lake Ossipee House also powered Camp Ossipee, a year-round school.

The school was prestigious and a U.S. Senator’s son attended. Pascoe’s children attended the school in a barter

agreement: the headmaster lodged at the inn in exchange for the Pascoe children attending the school.) The inn was destroyed by fire not many years after it was opened, but Pascoe rebuilt and offered 25 rooms to lodgers. The inn was a popular place to vacation, until it burned in 1913. (It was not uncommon for many of the large, wooden inns to be razed by fire in the days of woodstoves, fireplaces and lanterns.)

In Effingham Falls, the stately Black Horse Inn was originally the home of the Bradbury family. With three stories and a large barn, it was said guests could see Mt. Washington from the

• Yesteryear Continued from page 30 inn’s cupola on a clear day. The inn offered a wonderful ice cream stand and Texaco gas pumps for travelers.

Across the street from the Black Horse Inn, the Riverside Inn also welcomed guests looking for a quiet, country vacation. By the 1860s, the home had been offering lodgings to guests, and according to Ossipee Riverlands, a nearby spring brought water from gravity-fed underground pipes.

The Squam Lakes area has always been known as a quiet, clean lake. In the early days, some large hotels dotted the landscape and attracted city folk who wanted a quiet, but genteel vacation where they could enjoy nature as well as all the comforts they were used to in their servant-filled city homes.

Vacationers certainly found it all at such lodging establishments as the Mt. Livermore Hotel in Holderness.

A Little History of the Squam Lakes

by Catherine Hartshorn Campbell

mentions The Willows hotel on Little Squam Lake, which opened in 1895 and was run by Benjamin Pease and his family until 1964. Although the 40 guests rooms were simple, the establishment was popular with travelers and vacationers who returned

every year for the good food and company at the hotel.

At the height of the grand hotel summer era, the Bachelder House was opened in the 1890s. Guests were met at the railroad station in Ashland and endured travel over the bumpy roads to

reach the hotel for their long summer stay.

The two most elegant Squam Lake hotels were the Asquam House atop Shephard’s Hill, which ran until it was razed in the 1940s and the Towers, also known as the Mount Livermore House, which burned in the 1920s.

The proprietors of the lake’s big hotels looked to the entertainment offered at the mammoth White Mountain grand hotels where games, fireworks and other entertainments were on the schedule. Squam Lake events included the 1907 Asquam Lake Water Sports, which was said to include a carnival, a flotilla of about 200 boats and music. Notables of the day came from other towns to attend and mingle with wealthy hotel guests.

Many hotels and summer camps joined in the day of fun, with Chinese lanterns lit, decorations adding a festive air to lakefront homes and hotels. The Mount Livermore Hotel was brilliantly lit

Alton and Alton Bay have been popular with vacationers for many years. In the early days of Alton, the Fifield House served as an important lodging establishment, according to Alton A Town to Remember. It offered rooms and had a dining room, as well as a saloon and a blacksmith shop with horses for hire. Over time, it was enlarged and renamed the Munroe House, and still later, it was called the Village Inn. Located on Main Street, it was a beautiful, large structure and probably a centerpiece of the village at one time. Like many other old hotels, it burned. However, it survived longer than most, not burning until the 1970s.

Also on Alton’s main street, the Savage House was run as an inn. Surely the large and stately inn must have attracted vacationers with the railroad line not far away. It was run off and on as an inn until the late 1930s. The building still stands today and has been used as a number of businesses as well

as the American Legion Hall.

One island on Lake Winnipesaukee was the location of a large inn called the Bear Island House Hotel. It was a large wooden structure; it was quite unusual to find a hotel on a remote lake island when it was opened in the late 1870s.

The hotel first served as a boarding house but not long after, its owner saw the worth of offering it as a hotel for vacationers. Up to 100 guests could be housed at the hotel when the owner, according to Bear Island Reflections by the Bear Island Conservation Association, added two three-story wings to the original building. Porches with rocking chairs ran around the hotel and provided a relaxing spot for visitors.

It was no easy trip to reach the Bear Island House: guests took the train, and then boarded lake boat transportation to the hotel’s wharf. The trip continued as guests then traveled by horse and wagon to the hotel.

Once ensconced at the Bear Island House, visitors could look forward to houseboat treks as well as hiking over the island, swimming on the shores of

Winnipesaukee and generally relaxing on the unique island escape. The hotel also had fine clay tennis courts and a large beach area.

Although many had fond memories of their island vacation, the hotel burned in the 1930s.

In the Newfound Lake area, farm families began renting rooms and offering meals to tourists when it became clear there was a little extra money to be made in this endeavor.

In his book Newfound Lake, Charles E. Greenwood writes that Hebron residents George S. Smith and his wife began taking in boarders in the late 1870s, following the example of John Sanborn who owned the local Grove Hill Farm. These farms offered boarders riding, boating, fishing and swimming.

In 1880, the first summer boarding house was built in Bridgewater on the eastern side of Newfound Lake.

Originally called Lake View House, the structure must have caused quite a stir in the area. Three stories high, with a dining room, dance hall and 75 bedrooms all comfortably furnished, the Lake View House was reminiscent

of the big hotels being constructed in the White Mountains at the time. The view of Newfound Lake was superb, only adding to the attraction of the hotel.

Soon other hotels sprang up in the area: Elm Lawn; Bayview House, and later, Pasquaney. Large farms continued to help meet the demand, and just a few were Ackerman House, the Silas Brown property known as Newfound Lake Farm, and the Norman Smith farm. Nearby Bristol offered the Hotel Bristol and the G. G. Brown Hotel in the mid-1800s.

In the old days of summer vacations, guests around the Lakes Region experienced a much different vacation than the kind visitors experience in the area today. There were no powerboats, there was no takeout dining and there were no movies or other entertainments. But guests found the peace and quiet and perhaps a sedate canoe ride, a picnic or a day spent fishing much to their liking. They returned home relaxed and happy, just as vacationers do to this day.

Historic Belmont Village Bandstand Offers Summer Concerts The Victorian-era bandstand in Belmont Village has been a community landmark since 1908. Recently, it was moved, stabilized, artfully restored, painted and illuminated by Central NH specialists. The historic structure and its flared, octagonal roof, replicated lattice work, original posts and ornate decorative trim now display the original colors of dark green black, with Cajun red accents, a deep brown floor and ceiling of robin’s egg blue.

On May 1, restoration contractor JR Graton of Northfield topped the new cedar shake roof with a finial, gold-painted sphere, fastened to the original tin crown. The month of May

also brought accolades from the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance for the Belmont Heritage Commission and its project partners including Graton, John Thompson of Alexandria and JLT Painting and the Land and Community Heritage Investment Program (LCHIP) honoring its outstanding achievement in restoration and rehabilitation with the Elizabeth Durfee Hengen award.

A Heritage Series of performances mark this milestone season, dedicated to “a caring community and citizens that made the next century of this special place possible”, according to local Heritage Commission Chairman Linda Frawley.

Give Nesting Loons Some Space The Loon Preservation Committee (LPC) recorded its first pair of nesting loons this year on Bolster Pond in Sullivan, NH, on May 13. Since then more than 50 loon pairs have begun to incubate eggs, with many more expected to begin in the next week or two. If history is any guide, close to one of every two of these nests will fail, many due to human disturbance.

The peak time for loons to start nesting is usually in early June, followed by a four-week incubation period. The peak of hatch of loon chicks generally occurs around the 4th of July holiday and loon pairs on nests or with chicks are vulnerable to disturbance as human activities on the lakes increase.

A couple of simple precautions can help ensure a good year for loons in New Hampshire: - Stay back at least 150 feet from a nesting loon, or more, if the loon shows any signs of distress such as craning its neck low over a nest. Loons may even appear to be injured or dead while in this head-down position, but it is simply a response to the close approach of people.

- If you do inadvertently cause a loon to flush from the nest, leave the area immediately to let the loon return to incubate its eggs. Time off the nest leaves the eggs vulnerable to cooling, overheating, or predation.

In 2014, Loon Preservation Committee biologists recorded 208 pairs of nesting loons, an increase of 28

Forty of those pairs nested on rafts—artificial islands that LPC floats to help loons cope with water level fluctuations or being displaced from natural sites by shoreline development or recreational activity on the lakes. Of the 208 nesting pairs, signs and rope lines protected half, and over half of the chicks hatched came from these protected nest sites.

Even with this level of management, LPC biologists recorded 100 failed nests, many of them due to human disturbance, predation and water-level fluctuations. Studies indicate that a

minimum breeding success rate of 0.48 surviving chicks per loon pair is needed to maintain the loon population over the long term, but New Hampshire’s loons have achieved that level of breeding success in only three out of the last nine years.

Loons are a threatened species in New Hampshire and are protected by state and federal laws from hunting or harassment, including flushing loons from nests. If you observe harassment of loons, contact New Hampshire Fish & Game Department (271-3361) or Marine Patrol (293-2037) for

Red Molly at Great Waters Music Festival On Friday, June 26 at 7:30 pm, Great Waters Music Festival in Wolfeboro will present Americana powerhouse vocal trio Red Molly, best known for their gorgeous harmonies, crisp musicianship, infectious songwriting, and warm, engaging stage presence. Laurie MacAllister (bass), Abbie Gardner (Dobro), and Molly Venter (guitar) weave together the threads of American music—from folk roots to bluegrass, from heartbreaking ballads to barn-burning honky tonk—as effortlessly as they blend their voices into their signature soaring, crystalline three-part harmonies.

If one word describes Red Molly’s music, that word is joyous. From their signature harmonies to the rich, varied tones of their individual voices, Red Molly is simply a joy to listen to. Their brilliantly wrought a capella tunes are love letters to the art of the vocal blend, and their innovative instrumentation is perfectly suited for foot stomping bluegrass-tinged barnburners and perfectly crafted heart-full ballads alike.

Though each of them shines alone,

the true majesty of Red Molly comes with the effortless blend of their voices. Together Red Molly’s vocals swell and swoon in a way that raises goose bumps.

Laurie, Abbie, and Molly each have wonderfully distinct voices, both in their actual vocal timbre and in their individual songwriting styles and song choices. Abbie is the balladeer in the sawdust bar, singing in the blue lights, making us cry into our beers. Molly is the mirror, finding the truths of loss and history and the full joy of love and putting it to the perfect tune we somehow feel like we knew all along. Laurie is the storyteller; the songs she sings crack open the heart and run like trains through the landscape of our memories.

One of the most moving things about Red Molly’s music is the honest sense that you’re watching three dear friends sharing songs in their living room, and this feeling goes all the way back to their origins. Red Molly got its start with the simple joy of singing at a campsite, when they first felt the elec-

tricity that comes when voices blend together like honey and whiskey. That synergy and harmony carries through to today, on their newest studio effort, aptly titled The Red Album.

The performance will be held at the newly renovated Anderson Hall at 205 South Main St. in Wolfeboro and is sponsored by TD Bank, Bigelow & Ashton and Fidelity Investments.

The Great Waters Music Festival is a non-profit organization dedicated to

bringing outstanding musical performances to people living in and visiting the Lakes Region of New Hampshire.

Thanks to all who have contributed to this organization, it is able to provide high quality musical performances at reasonable prices. Tickets for all performances are available at the office at 15 Varney Road in Wolfeboro, by calling 603-569-7710, or online at www. greatwaters.org.

“The One-Stop Trailer Shop” Route 3 • Winnisquam (next to Pirate’s Cove)

The New Hampshire Army National Guard (NHARNG) 7th Annual Retiree Luncheon date has been set for Wed., September 18 by the luncheon planning committee, made up of current and retired Army National Guard members.

The committee’s immediate goal is to notify all retired NHARNG members about the upcoming event.

Retirees who have not attended prior luncheons or have relocated are urged to contact Command Sergeant Major (Ret) David Follansbee via e-mail: dave_follansbee@comcast.net or call 623-7757.

This year’s luncheon will feature a briefing on the current status of the NHARNG as well as exhibits and displays of interest to retirees. A group photo is also planned.

Feedback from previous retiree luncheons indicates the most significant attraction for attendees is renewal of old acquaintances, retelling stories (often embellished beyond recognition!) and exchanging military memories.

The planning committee asks those who know of someone who has retired from NHARNG to pass this information along.
