It All Starts with a Cuppa: Coffee, Crumbs and Castle in the Clouds

By Barbara Neville Wilson When I lived in Washington, D.C., I was often surprised by the number of people who lived in the city but had never gone to the top of the Washington Monument. Or never enjoyed a picnic supper on the Capitol Lawn, listening to the National Symphony Orchestra.

Or inhaled the scent of tropical flowers in the Botanical Gardens mid-winter.

Determined not to be “that” person here in the Lakes Region, I love when The Laker assigns me a story where I have to be a tourist for the day.

On this day, my assignment is to enjoy a nosh at Moultonboro’s Cup & Crumb, then take the traditional tour of Castle in the Clouds.

The morning dawns wet and unseasonably chilly, and I am thrilled.

It means my friend Brenda won’t need to spend the morning watering gardens and she can join me. She picks me up and we wind our way on Route 171 from my home in Tuftonboro. We pass Canaan Valley Road where Camps Sentinel and Merrowvista make their home on the shore of Dan Hole Pond, a water body formed when a volcano cone sank eons ago. Campers see the backside of the same mountains viewed from the rooms and porches of Thomas Plant’s luxurious mansion, Lucknow at Castle in the Clouds.

We pass the familiar Burma Shave signs across from a well-kept farm; the signs read: Within this vale of toil

and sin your head grows bald but not your chin Burma Shave The sign is located just before Route 171 merges with Route 109. We wave a quick “later” to the Castle Gatehouse on our way to the Cup & Crumb, a bakery and coffeehouse that has won must-go status among many residents and visitors. I’ve never been there before and Brenda turns left at the junction of 109, Bodge Hill Rd and Old Route 109.

The bakery closes at 1 pm on

REL A X Rustic stYLE!

Saturday and my watch reads 12:20, yet the parking lot is nearly full.

We join a short line at the glass display case. I notice the post on the blackboard, “Help Mother Earth. Let us know if you walk, run, or bike here for a 5% discount,” but my attention quickly transfers to a lemon raspberry scone—but how can I choose? There are croissants and coffeecake, and muffins, and everything looks tasty and fresh. Brenda studies with a bit more discernment. She’s gluten free but doesn’t see anything in the case.

“Oh, we get them from another

bakery,” says the worker behind the register, pointing out brownies, cookies and a large crumb muffin on top of the counter. “Our kitchen just isn’t large enough to handle gluten free properly.”

Brenda chooses the crumb cake muffin and opts to drink almond milk chai. After a long argument with myself - “Do I want a breakfast sandwich or a sweet?” - I decide the scone is really calling my name, and add a Cup & Crumb mug of dark coffee. It’s a perfect combination.

I run into a Wolfeboro friend who says, “We found this place after hiking with friends up at the Castle,” she says, “We love it.” As we leave, some seasonal visitors say, “We come here whenever we’re up. Sometimes that’s once a day every day.” I notice the “Best of NH 2016” sticker on the door and understand why.

Despite the gray skies, we decide to take the original carriage road to the Castle from the Route 171 gatehouse.

It’s a winding path, but at several spots, trees have been cleared and parking spots made. We choose not to brave the rain to take the boardwalk to Fall of Songs, but notice other pull-offs where motorists can enjoy lake and mountain views without leaving the car.

Reaching the top, we come out of the woods, and gasp a little at the sight of an imposing stone structure topped by an undulating terra cotta roof. It’s not the Castle; it’s merely the Carriage House,

which houses year-round offices, an intimate gallery, a function room with gorgeous Winnipesaukee views, and the Carriage House Restaurant, now open for lunch every day and offering dinner with live music Monday and Thursday nights.

We park and in a few minutes, the red trolley-style tram picks us up.

Dave is our chauffeur, and he banters jovially. He points to his red shirt and says, “People wearing red shirts are volunteers and full-time employees.

They all have two things in common: a great deal of knowledge and they love to talk.”

He proves the point, going on, “There’s a [outdoor] wedding this afternoon. The pictures will be beautiful, with just a little bit of light peeking through the clouds.” Someone asks if a tent will be set up in case it rains. He says yes, but “nine times out of 10 the rain stops. Go figure.”

wOlfebOrO, nh We draw up to the front entrance of the Arts & Crafts style Castle and enter the Sun Parlour, where staff member Mary Ann greets us. She has lived in the area and been associated with the Castle all her life. The Parlour gives the illusion of being outdoors while protecting from the elements.

The wall farthest from the driveway offers breathtaking views of forest and farms below and Lake Winnipesaukee beyond. There’s a tasteful fireplace on the outer wall of the main house.

As she talks, Mary Ann weaves in her own memories with facts about Thomas Plant, construction of the estate, and history after its sale at mortgage foreclosure in 1941.

In brief, the rags-to-riches Plant amassed one of the world’s largest fortunes as the owner of the largest shoe factory in the world. His Queen Quality Shoes brand was one of the first to mass-market women’s fashionable shoes, and he utilized the latest

July 18, 2016 • Cup & Crumb Continued from page 12 technology and superior employment conditions to maintain quality and production standards. Mary Ann says his employees had “healthcare, a doctor on call in the building—how many companies have that now?— daycare, a cafeteria, billiard room, and if you needed to let off steam, three bowling alleys.”

In 1910, at the age of 51, he sold the business, retired and began amassing land in Moultonboro on the recommendation of his brother, William, who owned property on Tuftonboro Neck. By effort of anonymous go-betweens, he eventually took title to 6,300 acres that included seven mountain peaks, a two-mile swath of land from the mountains to the shore of Lake Winnipesaukee, and one mile of shoreline on the Big Lake.

In 1913, Plant and his second wife, Olive, began work on the Arts & Crafts style mansion which they named Lucknow. Sixteen months and 1,000 workers later, the project was complete.

Their new estate boasted a stable/ garage, gatehouses, a greenhouse, a golf course, a lake, 45 miles of carriage and riding paths, electricity produced at the estate’s own hydroelectric power plant, and a 16-room home. It featured seven bathrooms with innovative needle head showers, ammonia brine refrigeration, a fire suppression system, central vacuum, and a magnificent pipe organ said to have been heard on Winnipesaukee when played at full volume.

Sadly, a series of bad investments and bad timing led to the loss of Plant’s fortune, and when he passed away in 1941, the estate was foreclosed and sold. Subsequent owners bought the estate for personal use and its natural assets, and in 1959 it was opened by the Robie family as a tourist attraction named Castle in the Clouds.

In 2002, the Lakes Region Conservation Trust purchased it and the Castle Preservation Society is charged with caring for the Castle and its outbuildings, bringing them back to their Plant-era elegance.

To my eye, the Society is moving ahead at an impressive pace, and taking great pains to bring visitors along with them. Just in the past nine months, more rooms have been opened to the self-guided tour. Brenda and I take our time, enjoying the human details, like a cloth-bound dressmaker’s guide in a servant’s cloak room, Thomas Plant’s exercise rings in his dressing area, the invitation to write a letter from Olive’s desk, and the true-to-the-era toilet paper next to a commode.

We are particularly impressed by the well-written broadsides on topics such as servants, building techniques, restoration efforts and Olive’s updates about her life at Lucknow. Enough copies allow us to read to our own depth and at our own pace, and as we take the information in, we see that each room seems to offer some way to interact. A closet in a guest room offers children a chance to dress in 1920s era clothing. Some chairs have tags that say “It’s ok to sit here,” while others kindly

request, “Please don’t sit here.” Signage notes that in some cases research is still ongoing and asks visitors their thoughts about the question. And in every room, an expert in a red shirt is ready to chat if we want to learn more.

The grounds of Castle in the Clouds are open every day of the year from dawn to dusk. The Castle mansion is open for tours, 10 am to 5:30 pm daily until October 23, and the Carriage

House Restaurant offers lunch and special dinner experiences throughout the season.

Summer Programs for Young Children at Squam Lakes Natural Science Center Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is pleased to offer two Natural Adventure series to help bring you and your kids outside this summer.

Nature Play Time, a 1-hour play session for children ages 3 and under, will allow unstructured play in nature for you and your little one. Each session of Nature Play Time will be an opportunity for parents and children to take advantage of that day’s program: play in a shallow stream with scoops and buckets, balance on log beams while in the forest, or tap into your creativity and help your child build a stick fort. Nature Play Time sessions will set the stage for parents and their children to enjoy playtime in New Hampshire’s outdoors. Nature Play Time is scheduled for Wednesdays, July 20; August 3; August 17; September 14; and October 12 from 10 am to 11 am. Nature Play Time activities will take place outdoors; please dress for the weather accordingly. The cost per session for Nature Play Time is $5/ member child; $7/non-member child.

The Science Center’s second natural adventure, Yoga Wild, gives a fun, fresh perspective on youth yoga.

These sessions will work with children ages 4 to 7, helping to teach spatial concepts, stimulate their senses, and develop motor skills as they use their imaginations to mimic animals. To top it all off, each of the Yoga Wild sessions will wrap-up with a visit from a live animal. Yoga Wild will be held on Wednesdays, July 13; July 27; August 10; and August 24 from 10 am to 11 am. The cost per session for Yoga Wild is $7/member child; $9/non-member child.

Both adventure series offer entertaining activities to help keep your child active and interested in New Hampshire ecology during the summer months. These one-hour sessions can even make a perfect addition for a day-trip to the Science Center. The public is welcome to attend one or all of the planned program sessions.

Reservations are required and can be made by calling 968-7194. In addition to the Science Center’s two Natural Adventure series, the Science Center also offers Guided Discoveries, which last one week long and may accommodate children ages 4 through 12. Visit The Science Center’s website, nhnature.org, to find more information about these two Natural Adventures, or to learn more about Guided Discoveries opportunities for your children.

The mission of Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is to advance understanding of ecology by exploring New Hampshire’s natural world.

Through spectacular live animal exhibits, natural science education programs, an informal public garden, and lake cruises, the Science Center has educated and enlightened visitors since 1966 about the importance of our natural world. Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is located on Route 113 in Holderness, an easy drive from exit 24 off I-93, and is open daily from May 1 through November 1. The Science Center is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and is the only AZA-accredited institution in all of northern New England.

A n t i q u e & C l a s s i c Boat Show to be in Wolfeboro Saturday, July 30 will mark the first time that the New England Chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society will hold their annual antique boat show in Wolfeboro. This major Chapter event will be located at the town docks from 9 am to 2 pm. This is an exciting show f o r s p e c t a t o r s with a wide variety of antique and classic boats being displayed.

In the 1920s, wooden boat builders across the country were producing boats that would attract all segments of the population – with an emphasis on quality, workmanship, and speed.

According to local Winnipesaukee history: “The Weirs officially opened for business on May 29, 1928, with over one thousand people attending the festivities. Terry Page and his Atlantic Orchestra were present, courtesy of Jim Irwin who also took the opportunity

to commission what he called “ChrisCraft Row” on the south side of the Winnipesaukee Gardens. He had 12 new boats on display and hoped the new models would draw in customers.

To make buying a boat easier, ads were taken out in the local papers hawking the incredible new opportunity to buy a Chris-Craft out of income. This brand new idea for a recreational boat allowed people to place only 40% of the purchase price down and then equal payments on the remaining balance for 12 months. The ads stressed how no other boat company could offer such generous terms, the closing line read ‘A year to pay – A lifetime to enjoy!’”

(From Winnipesaukee Racing History

by Mark Howard courtesy of the New Hampshire Boat Museum.)

All was going well until the depression, when orders for boats began dropping quickly around the

country. Several builders could not survive the struggling economy and all the builders that were still in business coming out at the end of the depression were scarred badly.

Three to four years after the depression boat building began reviving in earnest and builders started focusing more on producing boats that families could enjoy. By the time WWII arrived most all of the boat builders shut down their plants for personal craft and focused on building boats for wartime.

Today, two original boat builder names, and their original building plans, Gar Wood and HackerCraft, were recently bought and have begun limited reproductions of some of the most elegant and well-built boats of the era.

Another of those original builders, Chris-Craft, had become the largest and most well organized of all the builders, and has managed to continually reinvent itself. The Chris-Craft name has been maintained, through several

owners, from its beginnings in the very early twenties, and the company is still building boats today. We are pleased to have Chris- Craft a s this year’s Marquee Boat.

Individuals who might like to enter their boat in the show, especially anyone with a Chris-Craft, should visit necabs.org for forms. There is a specific cut off date for registration and all boats much be registered in advance. Boats can be judged or not.

Either way is great. There will be a Friday night registration and awards will be presented late Saturday at the awards ceremony.

Come enjoy Wolfeboro, “the oldest resort in America” and take yourself back in time when life was simple.

Shop at the ships store or meet Peter Ferber and view all his wonderful prints. It’s all in a fun day at the lake! For information about the event and the New England Chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society, contact President Dennis Schauer at dschauer@spencerhughes.com.

Turf Talk Brown Lawn Blues Summer can mean hard times for New England lawns. Hot weather combined with improper mowing can trigger a cascade of turf problems such as weeds, crabgrass, browning and harmful insects.

To immediately protect your lawn and reduce summer browning: Apply liquid compost tea to improve soil health • Apply a slow release fertilizer with grub and/or tick protection • Mow high – at least 2.5-3"– and mulch your clippings to minimize browning • Don’t mow in the heat of the day • Keep your mower blades sharp •

Don Womack Is “The Garlic Guy”

By Sarah Wright I love garlic, and I’m suspicious of anyone who says they don’t like it. (Surely they’re joking!) Most of the recipes I cook include garlic, and even when I come across a recipe that doesn’t call for it, I’ll often add a little anyway. My kids have learned to expect the smell of garlic in the air when I’m cooking dinner.

So naturally, I was very interested to talk to Don Womack, owner of Lindon Garlic Farm in Gilmanton. I had so many questions! Although I assumed he had grown up with a love of garlic, Don told me that he actually didn’t eat it much before he started farming it.

Years ago, while living in southeastern Massachusetts, a neighbor of Don’s asked if he could plant some garlic for her in his garden. He did a little research, planted some cloves, and waited. What happened next was life changing.

“Growing garlic is like magic,” says Don. Fairly easy to grow, Don was impressed with the result of his first garlic harvest, and started doing more research, but this time, it was market research on commercial garlic farming.

He decided to go for it. In 2008, Don and his wife, Linda, planted their first garlic crop in Gilmanton, and combined their names to form Lindon Garlic Farm. Success followed.

It wasn’t long before Don learned how to make garlic powder. He gave it out as holiday gifts to family and friends, and everyone loved it. “It

exploded with interest,” says Don, who later added dried granules and chips to the farm’s product line. “It’s all pure garlic, a blend of three or four varieties that we grow,” says Don. In fact, the dried garlic products sell out so fast that Don doesn’t currently have any inventory to sell! “I have customers who buy it by the case, because they know it’ll sell out,” says Don. Processing and dehydrating the garlic is serious business. If you drive by the barn while they’re working, you’ll definitely smell it in the air.

Although Don has built up somewhat of an immunity to the smell, it’s still overwhelming. “We wear eye protection and respirators while we’re making the powder,” says Don. Today, they try to keep up with demand by planting and harvesting 35,000 to 40,000 bulbs of garlic each year, thankfully with help from some extra staff, and attachments that get

pulled behind the tractor. Clove “seeds” are usually planted in October, about six weeks before the first hard freeze, and then harvested nine months later, in mid-July to early August. Don typically chooses eight to 10 varieties for planting, preferring porcelain garlics like German White and Music. Both varieties are easy to grow with a nice size and good flavor. Consequently, these are also good varieties for home gardeners to start with. And the more I talked with Don, the more I wanted to add some garlic to my garden.

So, what else is there to consider when growing garlic? Well, first off, garlic plants like full sun. Healthy soil is also important, with garlic preferring iron-rich soil that has a good sulfur content. Don doesn’t have any problems with animals bothering his plants, as the natural garlic smell keeps them away, but he does know growers who have had nibbles from moles or voles. However,

the real pest to think about that can possibly eat your root system away are nematodes in the soil. (Raised beds can help prevent this from occurring.) In fact, garlic seeds can be infected with nematodes, so be sure to buy them from a reputable source. Other than that, the usual rules apply: water, fertilize, and keep the weeds away.

When it’s close to harvest time, the leaves on the garlic plant will start to die from the bottom up. It’s time to pick them when the leaves are 50 percent dead. “If you’re still unsure, you could always move some dirt away from the top of the bulb to see if the cloves have formed,” says Don. Minerals and nutrients in the soil can cause color streaking, which won’t affect the flavor.

I know I’ve seen purple streaks, but Don says that red streaks can also occur.

If you don’t plan on using the garlic right away, the bulbs will keep for about three to six months on average, although soft neck garlic lasts longer than hard neck varieties. Garlic naturally loses moisture over time, so storage at 60 percent humidity at temperatures no lower than 35 to 40 degrees is ideal.

Don suggests, “You could also chop the garlic and freeze it in small baggies for later use.”

“The Garlic Guy” is always looking for new ways to use garlic, and his latest interest involves garlic scapes.

The scape is a flower that grows in the

• Garlic Continued from page 23 middle of the garlic plant, the stalk of which is like a scallion. Google it and you’ll see that they’re well known to foodies. They taste very light and fresh and are great grilled with a little butter, or chopped into a salad. Don thinks the best way to enjoy scapes is minced in a pesto, replacing the typically used

basil. I tried a sample of his garlic scape pesto at the Wolfeboro Farmers Market and it was amazing. Don is hoping to bottle it for sale in the future. I decided to purchase a bunch of his scapes, and I can’t wait to grill them up, or just chop them into an omelet.

Don and Linda participate in local farmers markets, including the Wolfeboro Market as well as the

one in Gilford. They also travel to garlic festivals, and have recently added upcoming holiday fairs to their schedule, including the Sandwich Fair this October. If you have any questions for Don, you can email him at Don@ thegarlicguy.com. (His website, www. thegarlicguy.com is currently under construction, but will be back up soon.)

Lindon Garlic Farm is located at 46

Dow Road in Gilmanton. If you don’t run into him at the farmers market, stop by the farm this summer to purchase some garlic for yourself.

I had one last question for Don. Although he himself doesn’t mind it, did he know a secret for getting rid of garlic breath? “I haven’t heard of anything that really works, but perhaps chewing on a mint sprig might help.”

Old School Meets New School from Boston’s Iconic Rock & Blues Scene Magic Dick, harmonica player for Boston’s legendary J. Geils Band has recently teamed up with 2015 Boston Music Award winning guitar and vocal sensation, Shun Ng, to create one of the most dynamic musical acts to come out of Boston in a long time. Their music is a soulful blues that rocks out and yet is thoughtful, emotional and it is performed by virtuosos on their respective instruments. The duo will be playing at the Flying Monkey Performance Center on Sunday, July 24 at 6:30 pm.

Since 1969, Magic Dick has toured the world playing stadiums with the J. Geils Band. He explains the formation of the duo: “From the moment I first heard Shun Ng’s CD ‘Funky Thumb Stuff’ I knew that a manifest musical collaboration was about to happen. Shun’s sound simply made me feel very alive and induced in me a synchronous alignment of musical DNA as if it was his intention as well as mine all along… now we are a duo and I couldn’t be more delighted.”

Roomful of Blues, Magic Dick of the J. Geils Band, and 2015 Boston Music Award Winner Shun Ng team up at the Flying Monkey Performance Center July 24.

Quincy Jones says of Shun, “When you see Shun Ng, you won’t believe your eyes nor your ears – he belies all stereotypes, all premonitions. I was simply blown away by both his soul and his science – his creativity and his uniqueness is astounding.”

If that wasn’t enough, the evening

Gilford Summer Fair and Pancake Breakfast Mark your calendars so that you don’t miss the Gilford Community Church Summer Fair held on Friday, August 26 from 4 to 7 pm and on Saturday, August 27 from 7:30 am to 2 p.m. The Annual Rotary Pancake Breakfast will be held at the Youth Center from 7 am until 10 am.

The fair will be held on church grounds, as usual, with live music, Chuck Wagon hamburgers and hot dogs, ice-cream and drinks. The White Elephant will be held in the fellowship hall of the church. A Silent Auction will be held in the Youth Center, along with the selling of Children’s toys and games.

The church is accepting donations for the White Elephant until August 22: books, stationery, puzzles, music,

movies, kitchen items, knick-knacks, baskets, fishing stuff, sporting goods, and outdoor items are all welcome.

Clean items, please, and no baby strollers, car seats, clothes, shoes, large electrical appliances, encyclopedias, exercise equipment, computers, televisions or suitcases (unless antique). Donated Jewelry should be brought to the church office.

Let the church know if you have any items of value that you would like to donate to the Silent Auction. Small antiques or small fine furniture will be accepted, as well as collectibles.

Gilford Community Church is located at 19 Potter Hill Rd. in the village of Gilford and can be reached by phone at 524-6057.

contagious, finger-popping, headbopping grooves...the horns blast loud and proud...explosive and electrifying.”

The band has earned five Grammy Award nominations and a slew of other accolades, including seven Blues Music Awards. With their masterful combination of jumping, horn-heavy blues and R&B, it’s no wonder why the great Count Basie called them “the hottest blues band I’ve ever heard.”

Old school meets new school from the legendary and always pioneering Boston music scene. Rock and Blues Royalty mingles with a recent Boston Music Award Winner for an exciting evening of Rock N’ Blues that is sure to leave old fans talking about new sensations.

Summer with Squam Lakes Association Join Squam Lakes Association (SLA) for a variety of fun events in the coming weeks including new events in the continuing Adventure Ecology Program and fishing in beautiful Ashland.

Backcountry Cooking Course There are many activities that can take us into the backcountry, but backpackers are often limited on the amount of meals they can carry. Having a good, hot meal while backpacking and camping can make all of the difference in the world. High levels of exercise cause us to burn energy more quickly, and harsh conditions can increase our need to intake food and calories. Learning new ways to cook light-weight, nutritious, and good tasting food is a fun way to make the back-country experience even more enjoyable.

Join SLA Conservation Intern, Erin Shilling, on July 22 from 10 am - 12 pm for a backcountry cooking course.

Erin will lead a group on a short walk to a field by the SLA, and then learn some ways to prepare meals for backpacking and camping. The group will practice how to build a fire for cooking and will have the opportunity to cook some tasty dishes that are sure to satisfy the hungriest camper. Erin will teach basics as well as some handy tips for how to make the most out of cooking in the outdoors.

By the end of this program, participants will know how to cook basic but tasty meals over a camp stove or open fire while out camping with limited resources. Ages 12 and up are welcome. Participants under 12 must be accompanied by a parent.

For more information, or to sign up for this Adventure Ecology Program,

This year the SLA is partnering with Eastern Adaptive Sports (EAS) to provide a quiet water fishing experience, allowing adaptive anglers the opportunity to fully participate in the event.

To learn more about the Canoe Classic, or to register for the final tournament, please contact the Squam Lakes Association 968-7336, or visit the website at www.squamlakes. o rg / s u m m e r t i m e - c a n o e - c l a s s i c tournament-series. visit the SLA website (squamlakes.org) or contact the SLA directly (968-7336).

The SLA also offers other Adventure Ecology trips throughout the summer.

Every Friday from June 17 through August 19, these 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 Association’s mission.

First Round Leaderboard Results of the Squam Canoe Classic Bass Tournament Series Last Saturday, the first round of the Squam Canoe Classic Bass Tournament Series was held on Squam Lake.

Participants enjoyed a quiet morning of bass fishing as cooler temperatures and overcast skies allowed for low boat traffic and preferable fishing conditions this time of year. Pete Markarian of the Squam Lakes Association won the first round with a 7.5” long small mouth

Sandwich Open Barns: Lecture & Tour, Saturday, August 20 Join the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance with partners Sandwich Historical Society and Sandwich Barn Preservation Committee for a day of barn exploration with the experts. This event takes place on Saturday August 20 from 10 am to 4:30 pm. Registration opens at 9:30 am in the Sandwich Town Hall, Center Sandwich. Enjoy a day of historic barns, scenic landscapes, and local history in the hills of central New Hampshire. Sandwich has a wealth of historic agricultural buildings and seven distinctive examples will be showcased during the barn tour The event kicks off at 10 am with “The History of Agriculture as Told by Barns,” an illustrated lecture presented

by John Porter, co-author of Preserving Old Barns, followed by a brief introduction to the region’s agricultural history by Sandwich Historical Society board member Jim Mykland. A selfguided tour of seven Sandwich barns will follow the lecture and run from 12 - 4:30 pm. A barn expert will be on hand at each barn to talk about architectural features, framing styles, and agricultural uses. Five of the featured structures are included in the statewide Barn Tax Incentive Program (RSA 79-D), which authorizes municipalities to grant property tax

relief to owners who can demonstrate the public benefit of preserving their agricultural buildings, and agree to maintain them throughout a minimum 10-year preservation easement.

Highlights of the tour include a large gambrel roofed barn on a 1920s gentleman’s farm that was used as a patent museum in the 1940s, an 1830s working barn once owned by actor Claude Rains, of Casablanca fame, and a recently restored 1885 windmill used to pump water on the former Isaac Adams Estate. Adams was a distant cousin of President John Adams and the inventor of the Adams Press, which revolutionized the printing industry.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to tour the Sandwich Historical Society’s Quimby Barn Museum, which houses the Sandwich Concord Coach, as well as the Society’s c. 1850 Elisha Marston House Museum.

Barns are disappearing from our New Hampshire landscape, said Beverly Thomas, Preservation Alliance program director and tour coordinator, “and we want to increase appreciation for them and encourage their preservation. It’s gratifying to see that so many of these Sandwich barns continue to dot the landscape and are

Saturday Summer Worship in the Chapel The First United Methodist Church of Gilford is holding Saturday evening worship services through August 27 at 5 pm in the Charles French Outdoor Chapel that is located behind the church (follow the signs). If the weather is uncooperative, the service will be held in the church’s sanctuary.

Services will last about 45 minutes.

Pastor Tom Getchell-Lacey will be leading some of the services, and some of our retired pastors and laity will be helping lead on different weeks. This

informal service will be a welcome break in the day’s activities. There will be a communion service on the first Sunday in August.

New Hampshire Boat Museum Hosts Lecture on Old Town Canoes Canoeing has long been a popular form of recreation on New Hampshire’s lakes. You might wonder just how long canoes have been used for recreation.

If so, you will be interested in the next talk at the New Hampshire Boat Museum’s evening lecture series. The Museum is pleased to host Benson Gray, great grandson of one of the founders of Old Town Canoe and a knowledgeable expert on canoe history.

His talk is titled “The Old Town Canoe Company and Other Builders of the Penobscot Valley.” The event will be held on Thursday, July 21 at 7 pm and is free and open to the public.

Mr. Gray will talk about the history of canoe building with an emphasis on Old Town Canoe of Maine. His

presentation will cover the native birch-bark builders and then move up through the major wood-canvas builders including companies like Gerrish, Thatcher, Morris, Carleton, White, Old Town, and Penobscot. The use of more modern materials like molded plywood, fiberglass, vacuum molding, and rotational molding will also be touched upon. Mr. Gray will also cover some of the resources available for researching about old canoe. In addition to the illustrated talk, Mr. Gray will bring a collection of small model canoes to illustrate the progression of canoe construction techniques.

Benson Gray grew up in Old Town, Maine and has always loved old

canoes. His work with computers, along with an interest in the history of canoe builders, has led to some interesting collaborations. He worked on a project scanning the Old Town Canoe Company catalogs. This later developed into a whole set of CDs documenting catalogs from a variety of small boat manufacturers. His largest projects was with the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association. In this project he recorded the Old Town, Carleton, and Kennebec canoe build records, along with organizing an archive of the Wooden Canoe Journal magazines.

Lisa Simpson Lutts, the Boat Museum’s Executive Director says, “We are excited to have Benson Gray speak at the Boat Museum. His encyclopedic knowledge of canoe history will allow attendees to learn about the canoe’s place in boating history.”

The New Hampshire Boat Museum is open to the public for the 2016 season and will remain open daily through Monday, October 10, 10 am – 4 pm Monday through Saturday, and Sunday noon – 4 pm. The Museum is a not-for-profit institution that focuses on the social history of life on New Hampshire’s lakes and the state’s important fresh water boating traditions. It is located at 399 Center Street, Wolfeboro Falls, 2 miles from downtown Wolfeboro in the former Allen “A” Resort dance hall.

For further information contact the Museum at 569-4554, museum@ nhbm.org, www.nhbm.org or via Facebook. The New Hampshire Boat Museum is a member of the “Experience New Hampshire Heritage: The Portsmouth to Plymouth Museum Trail.” To learn more about the Trail, visit nhmuseumtrail.org.

Mary Maguire Band Returns to Bandstand on Saturday The Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand roll into the middle of July a band that made its debut in the bandstand two years ago returns to the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee.

The Mary Maguire Band will take to the stage on Saturday, July 23, at 7 p.m. at the bandstand in Cate Park.

The band weaves American roots of swing, western swing, folk and country into the group’s performance.

Maguire’s voice has graced the airwaves from Los Angeles to Boston, from France to Russia and China and she’s appeared on stage with many talented artists, including Tom Rush, Livingston Taylor, John Sebastian, Christine Lavin, T. Graham Brown and more. She has teamed with bandmate Jeff Horton to present vocal harmony workshops at New York’s Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival, at the Joe Val Bluegrass Festival in Boston, Maine’s Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival and Connecticut’s Podunk Bluegrass Festival.

Horton’s powerful vocal range is well known to the New England bluegrass scene and his solid acoustic bass was a key component of the Neon Valley Boys and Northern Lights. When he and Maguire met, they realized the musical possibilities, which result in a very powerful sound.

Tom Yoder is a Seacoast-region resident who lends his talents on fiddle and mandolin for the Mary Maguire Band. He has performed with artists

such as Dickie Betts, Travis Tritt, Jo Dee Messina, Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard. He also played fiddle in The Don Campbell Band and performed at the Grand Ole Opry as winners of a national talent contest.

John Tibert also brings a uniquely warm and wonderful mandolin sound and harmony vocals to the band and also adds an adept guitar picking sound.

The band has performed all over the Northeast and has earned raves for the performances from numerous locales, including the Open Book Coffeehouse in Canton, Mass., which lauded, “The Mary Maguire Band was one of our best shows ever.”

The Mary Maguire Band promises magnificent vocals propelled by sure-fingered picking and rock-solid rhythms that get folks off their seat and onto their feet.

The Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand have been providing free Saturday night concerts in Cate Park for more than 20 years and continue that tradition with a show every Saturday night in July and August.

Shows will start at 7 pm and run until 9 pm, with a brief intermission. All donations collected in a pass-the-hat offering go toward helping the Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand continue to bring in quality acts every summer.

If rain is threatening, this free concert will be postponed and a sign will

Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history thereby cheating their backers (all “little old ladies”) out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit!

This is an opportunity to learn more about the public art that has been installed by the Greater Meredith Program.

Tours will leave from the Mill Falls Marketplace in front of Innisfree Bookstore on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 10 am during July and August. In September they will be on Saturdays at 10 am. Special group tours can be arranged in advance by contacting The Greater Meredith Program.
