Lakes Region History … and Beautiful Boats at the NH Boat Museum By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper I love local history and imagining what the area was like long ago. History is so much a part of the Lakes Region and it encompasses things like vacationing and boating in the area. As summer comes to a close, I was thinking about the places that bring the history of the Lakes Region alive to visitors. When it comes to tracing and presenting the history of boating and tourism in the area, no one does it quite so well as the NH Boat Museum, located at 397 Center Street in Wolfeboro. I visit the Boat Museum at least once every summer to see whatever

seasonal exhibit might be on display. Lisa Simpson Lutts, the executive director at the museum and her staff and volunteers work hard to bring the history of boating to visitors. For those who don’t know, the Lakes Region has a very long and colorful boating history and many aspects of boating have been or will be covered in exhibits at the museum. This year’s exhibit is titled A Pilgrimage to Simplicity: Lake Wentworth’s Traditions and History and
it is a fascinating look at lesser-known/ best-kept-secret Lake Wentworth and the community that call the area home each summer. One of the things I like about the Boat Museum is the actual building housing the exhibits. It was once part of the old Allen A Resort and served as an entertainment spot with a stage, a big dance floor and domed ceiling, sort of like a huge Quonset hut. These days it is used for the many exhibits brought to the public by the NH Boat Museum staff. This year’s special Lake Wentworth exhibit is a manyfaceted project and it encompasses just about everything when it comes to the lake’s history. I started my tour in the gift shop where a friendly staff member greeted me. She told me to take my time so I could see the entire exhibit and to make sure and ask her if I had any questions. The gift shop has something for every boat lover, from books to caps to children’s books and more. After shopping through the gift area, I entered the museum and immediately saw a paneled wall with information about

we have only the summer home’s cellar hole to attest to the size and scope of the property. (The house burned in the 1820s.) Luckily for those who are fascinated with the story and the mansion (Wentworth’s home led to the Wolfeboro area becoming known as America’s first summer resort), there was an archaeological dig at the site not too many years ago. A number of items from the original home have been unearthed and some are on display. Items in the case at the museum include pieces of old liquor bottles, fragments of pretty china and redware bowls, probably once used for cooking. To look at the old bottles and to know that the Governor or his wife once poured spirits for their guests’ enjoyment and that the bottles still exist all these years later, is amazing to me. I like to think about the stories these objects could tell if they only could speak! When the Revolutionary War changed the way the country was run, Wentworth and his family fled to Canada and the mansion was auctioned off. There are no architect’s plans of the home, just written eyewitness accounts of the beauty and splendor of the former estate. Another exhibit area gives us information on transportation in the Lake Wentworth area and the development of early roads and auto travel as well. An area of the exhibit I found
the exhibit. Native American artifacts from Lake Wentworth are on exhibit in one area, on loan from Dartmouth College. The artifacts were originally from the Lake Wentworth area and donated by various area families to Dartmouth. There is a lot of information and a number of old photos of Lake Wentworth families and their camps and cottages. The properties seem to often have been passed down from one generation to the next and some family properties date back to the 1880s. Oak Bluff dates to around 1888 and another property, the Lyme Camp, dates to 1884. Oak Bluff was a simple, two-room cabin. The property was purchased by Walter Murray in the early 1900s and remains in the same family to this day. Five Boston-area businessmen built Lyme Camp as a fishing retreat. Eventually the Goldthwaite family bought the place and it is still in that family today. Nearby a large display case and information tells the story of the area’s first and most notable summer resident, Governor John Wentworth. I love the story of the huge old mansion built about 1768 by Wentworth as his summer residence on the lake that would be named for him. I can imagine the many servants and builders Wentworth had at his disposable as he created the huge summer home. There are no photos of the home – it was long before the invention of cameras – so

• Day Tripping Continued from page 3 particularly fascinating was notable people of Lake Wentworth. The entire Lakes Region is peppered with famous people that come here for privacy and summer vacations; often, we are not even aware famous folks live among us. Lake Wentworth was no different. Notable people included William O. Douglas, who was appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court by Franklin Roosevelt. He served the longest term in the Supreme Court. Douglas had a place on Triggs Island where he lived quietly out of the spotlight. He was secretary of the Lake Wentworth Association for a number of years until he sold his summer home in the 1940s. Well-respected artist Jules Olitski relished his time on Lake Wentworth. His wife’s family summered on the lake and he came to love it as well. He rented a cottage on the lake’s Stamp
Act Island where he painted the natural beauty all around him. Admiral Grace Hopper, well known for her long military service, was brilliant and held many official offices. Her family summered on Lake Wentworth where she enjoyed sailing and swimming and many outdoor activities. By the time I had browsed about half of the exhibit, I was joined by Lisa Simpson Lutts, who explained the time and effort that went into planning the Lake Wentworth exhibit. “It was the beginning of last winter when we started to think about what we would do for an exhibit this summer at the museum,” she said. “We wanted something that would appeal to a broad audience. Once we decided to feature an exhibit on Lake Wentworth, we formed a committee of Lake Wentworth people. They have been invaluable in helping put the exhibit together.” Lisa also led me to information and an exhibit section about the history

It’s Food Preservation and Harvest Time Local organizations Global Awareness Local Action (GALA) and Jack Mountain Bushcraft (JMB) announce the next feature in their 2015 monthly NH Re-skill-ience Workshop Series, offering hands-on workshops on homesteading, sustainable living, and traditional bushcraft skills. Workshops are designed to help participants develop skills and knowledge that strengthen personal and community resilience. The next workshop will be Preserving Your Harvest with Ann Hamilton from the UNH Cooperative Extension. It takes place on Wednesday, Sept. 2 at the Kingswood Youth Center in Wolfeboro. Since the beginning of time, people have searched for ways to preserve the life of food as a basic means of survival. Before the concept of food preservation developed, humans traveled from location to location in search of fresh foods, a way of living we refer to as hunter/gatherer. Food had to be eaten almost immediately after it was either killed in instances of animal meat or not long after harvesting for fruits and vegetables. Some of the earliest methods of food preservation include freezing, drying, curing, and fermenting, many of which are still used today even though food preservation technology has greatly expanded. Pickling is now among the most popular methods of food preservation, a process consisting of using acids, such as vinegar, to oxidize bacteria in food so it will not cause illness when consumed. Can-
courtesy of G.A.L.A. ning and preserving foods with sugar or honey is also popular. Nowadays the technology includes heating, ultra high water pressure, osmotic inhibition and other complex methods. The Preserving Your Harvest workshop led by Ann Hamilton will focus on pickling and learning how to use a boiling-water canner. Ann has been a Field Specialist in food safety with UNH Cooperative Extension’s Food & Agriculture team since 1988. She works with individuals, farmers and the food service industry to improve safe food handling practices and reduce the risk of food-borne illnesses. In her spare time, she enjoys canning jams, pickles and applesauce. Participants of the workshop will learn about the latest research-based methods and recipes, have questions answered, and share experiences about preserving food safely at home, using a boiling-water canner and a pressure canner. If time allows, the workshop will also cover the basics of freezing and drying foods. Participants will gain hands-on experience on making pickles and apple-pear jam, which means there will be yummy treats to take home.

Still need a few more reasons why food preservation is a great skill to learn? Here are 10 taken from www. foodpreservation.org: 1. Long-term storage of fresh produce (12 months+) without needing a refrigerator or freezer. 2. Environmentally friendly using seasonally grown and locally sourced fresh produce, re-use preserving jars, reducing food packaging and reducing food miles. 3. Save money by buying or growing in bulk and seasonally. 4. Flavor! Home canned food won’t contain artificial preservatives, BPA or other artificial ingredients. You have complete control over what goes into your canned delights. 5. Convenience - ready to serve in minutes. 6. Community involvement both the canning process and sharing with family, friends and neighbors. Teach skills to the next generation. 7. Gifts - nothing beats a homemade jam for a present! 8. Prepare for emergencies and/ or illness. 9. Personal satisfaction. Create new flavor combinations that you cannot buy in your local store - learn how to use canned food in cooking dishes (ie: marmalade in a stir-fry). 10. Learn more skills, such as how to use all of the fruit and reduce food wastage. For example: apples - make apple slices (or pie filling), extract

Each month, a jury selects from submissions by member artists to be featured at various businesses in the Lakes Region. These original pieces can be oil or acrylic, watercolor, pastel, photo or collage. The following member artists will each have art work on display until September 21 at these Lakes Region business locations: Shela Cunningham,
Laconia Library; Robert Emory, Bank of New Hampshire, Gilford; Christa Faller, Northway Bank, Laconia; Barbara McClintock, VynnArt Gallery & Art Supplies, Meredith; Elaine Morrison, Northway Bank, Belknap Mall, Belmont; Judy Palfrey, Franklin Savings Bank, Main Office, Franklin; Amy Prendergast, Franklin Savings Bank, Gilford; Marilee Sundius, Northway Bank, Meredith; Wendy Wilson, Northway Bank, Tilton. The Artists of the Month is in its fourth year. The Association thanks Judy Palfrey for her leadership of this program and local businesses for their support.

If you came to Moose Day in July or visited the museum at another time this summer and took a chance at naming the Libby’s new moose, you have been waiting to hear the winner of the contest! It was a hard call to make, with many great names and ideas offered in the contest. After much deliberation and looking through names many times, the museum’s new moose will forever proudly respond to the name of Henli! The Libby Museum staff thanks everyone who took part in naming yet another Libby animal. The contest prizewinner is Terri Harriman of Wolfeboro Falls. Terri’s prize was a Peter Ferber print and four free tickets to visit the Libby Museum in the future. She is already planning to use her tickets to bring her five-yearold granddaughter to visit the moose. When asked where the name Henli came from, Terri responded, “It is a combination of the two syllables of our founder’s names - ‘Hen’ from Henry and ‘li’ from Libby. What made her think of that creative combination of names? Terri remarked,
“I guess I am just good at these types of contests. I recently named a coffee in the Seven Suns shop in Wolfeboro, too. I was in the shop when they had a contest like this, and I thought about how the shop is on Railroad Avenue. So I named the coffee Railroad Joe. It’s now their house blend!” Terri describes her first introduction to Henli on Moose Day this way, “Moose Day was a great day. Events like those really draw a crowd. When I first saw that moose, he was just beautiful.” Now that he has an official name, you can visit Henli the Moose if you attend the museum’s Annual Meeting on September 10 at 7 pm where Dr. Rick Van de Pol will speak about New England forests from glacier times to the present. Call 569-1035 for questions about this last event of the season. (The museum is open Tues. to Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm and noon to 4 pm on Sundays until September 6. After Labor Day, the museum is open only on weekends.) The Museum is located on Rt. 109 in Wolfeboro

History Talk by Gilmanton’s own Rebecca Onion On Friday, Sept. 4 at 7 pm, Slate Magazine history writer Rebecca Onion will visit The Scriven Arts Colony at 452 New Hampshire Route 140 in Gilmanton to give a 45-minute talk about three little-known New Hampshire authors—the Nelson Brothers of Goshen, NH. The Nelsons were late 19th-century farm boys, and in their early youth, writing on spare scraps of paper, they created a fictional universe replete with its own land masses (the Big, Round, and Long Continents,), as well as its

own farm fields and wars. Rebecca Onion’s talk is based on a May 2015 story she wrote for Slate entitled “Boyhood.” Rebecca grew up in Gilmanton Corners and attended Yale University before earning a Ph.D. in American Studies at The University of Texas at Austin. The University of North Carolina Press will publish her book, Innocent Experiments: Childhood and the Culture of Public Science in the United States, in 2016. She is available for print and radio interviews.

Robert Louis Stevenson’s suspenseful Victorian tale of the intrepid Dr. Jekyll and his alter ego, Mr. Hyde, will bring some gothic drama to the end of The Winnipesaukee Playhouse’s summer season. The play adaptation of Stevenson’s novel, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, written by David Edgar, will be performed through September 5. Based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic horror story, this dramatic adaptation shows the transformation of the mild-mannered Dr. Jekyll into the fiendish Mr. Hyde. When Jekyll discovers a drug that can transform him, he becomes able to unleash the dark side of his nature onto the streets of Victorian London. But he soon discovers the price of his double life. Playhouse veteran Nicholas Wilder does double duty in the roles of both Jekyll and Hyde. A talented supporting cast including AJ Ditty, Jason Plourde, Ray Dudley, Sophie Pankhurst and Tyler Browne, joins him. Elizabeth Swan and Helen McMillan round out the cast, both marking their Playhouse debuts. The dark Victorian ambiance is created through the set, designed by Andrew Stuart, with atmospheric lighting by Graham Edmondson. Lori McGinley designed the beautiful costumes.
Nick Saldivar, a New York resident also making his Playhouse debut, directs Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Saldivar says, “It was really important to me that this story remained urgent. The show tackles some very lofty themes with beautiful, poetic language. However, the show is also extremely physical. I want our audiences to walk away intellectually stimulated and emotionally charged.” Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is performed at The Winnipesaukee Playhouse campus in Meredith. Bank of New Hampshire and The Taylor Community generously sponsor the Summer 2015 season. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is further supported by the generous sponsorship of AutoServ Dealerships, Binnie Media’s WLNH and Meredith Village Savings Bank. Tickets can be ordered by calling 279-0333 or at www.winnipesaukeeplayhousse.org. The Winnipesaukee Playhouse also offers free educational programs: “Symposium” a pre-show presentation offering insight on the play from 6-6:45 pm on Tuesday, Sept. 1 and “Talk-Back Wednesday” a postperformance Q&A with cast and director on Wednesday, Sept. 2. The theatre is located at 50 Reservoir Road in Meredith.

Keb’ Mo’ and Los Lobos on Labor Day Weekend! At 7:30 pm on Thursday, Sept. 3, The Flying Monkey in Plymouth will present multiple Grammy winner Keb’ Mo’, widely thought of as one of the premier roots masters playing today. On Friday, Sept. 4, Los Lobos, critically praised for a career of boundary pushing roots rock, will return to Plymouth for an electric show. Girls, Guns & Glory will open for Los Lobos. Iconic bluesman Keb’ Mo’ sweeps into the Lakes Region in the wake of his chart-topping 12th album, BLUESAmericana. Hailed by NPR as a “modern ambassador for the blues,” the Grammy Award-winner will deliver his rich, soulful music to fans at The Flying Monkey leading into the holiday weekend. As his three Grammys indicate, singer-songwriter-guitarist, Kevin Moore (a.k.a. Keb’ Mo’), has mastered roots music. His authentic, yet forward-leaning style is peppered with Americana in all its forms – from blues
to country (yes, Keb’ Mo’ is based in Nashville). Rolling Stone describes his music as “somewhere between the soul of Delta Blues and the melodic feel of contemporary folk bundled in storylike framework.” If that is not your particular cup of tea, there is a pack of LA Wolves putting their masterful musical stamp on Labor Day Weekend.
Casual Cape
Los Lobos catapulted from the East L.A. bar scene to worldwide recognition for their unique sound, mixing Latin soul grooves, roots rock, Mexican folk, traditional Spanish, blues and R&B. The original members, David Hidalgo, Cesar Rosas, Louie Perez, Steve Berlin and Conrad Lozano (with the additional help of Enrique “Bugs” Gonzalez and Camilo Quinones)

Yesteryear Arson, Renewal and the 1915 Great Fire in Gilmanton Iron Works By Barbara Neville Wilson I was new to the area, so I asked the obvious. “What does ‘I.W.’ stand for in ‘Gilmanton I.W.?” “Iron Works,” replied the slackjawed 15 year-old. “Iron Works? Are there iron works in town?” “I dunno,” he shrugged. It’s taken 31 years for me to find the answer to my question, and it came wrapped in an improbable story of arson, renewal, and the fifth largest fire in the nation for the week ending June 2, 1915. The Iron Works section of Gilmanton lies midway between Alton and Tilton. There you’ll find a 1970’s-era fire station, the building of the original Congregational Church founded in 1830, and a hall built by the Odd Fellows in the late 19th century that now houses the Historical Society. Centered at the bottom of the hill are two flat buildings with false facades reminiscent of the Wild West. Currently, the Gilmanton Market occupies one, and the Gilmanton I.W. Post Office fills part of the other. The false fronts look like they’ve waited a century for other retail centers to join them…and so they have. In the early morning of May 28, 1915, fire swept through the village of Gilmanton Iron Works. Mrs. Jennie Keys, owner of one of the burned buildings, was credited in the June 4 edition of the Laconia Democrat with discovering the fire. She reported awakening around midnight to find a small fire in the back of her house. She extinguished it. Two hours later, she discovered another at the Osborne Price Building barn. The alarm was raised and the community joined together to fight the fire. According to that day’s edition of The Bridgeport Evening Farmer, “The townspeople fought the flames with blankets until the arrival of apparatus from Pittsfield, Alton and Laconia.” Despite valiant efforts, though, high winds fanned the flames and everything between the Price buildings and the Suncook River was destroyed. Everything? Looking around the area now, it’s hard to realize the extent of the devastation. How could today’s country village bisected by a two-lane highway have once been a thriving industrial and retail center? First reports from The Bridgeport Evening News estimated damage at $50,000, but by the time The Standard “Weekly Insurance Newspaper” reported the nation’s top fire losses of the week, that estimate had become $70,000, placing the Gilmanton I.W. fire as the fifth most devastating through June 2. It held the distinction of the week’s only top fire to burn in a small community. The Standard made the fire in Gilmanton I.W. the subject of its front page editorial, saying, “While the di-
The CA Dockham block was home to a dry goods store, the selectman’s office, the post office and the town library. The flames obliterated all. The lot was one of the first to be rebuilt after the fire. sastrous effects of a large city conflagration have led to the general adoption of precautions against such a disaster, comparatively little attention is given to the prevention in small communities of those lesser conflagrations which are likely to be even more disastrous to the future of the community, and in the aggregate form a by no means inconsiderable amount of the annual fire loss… [it can] mean the wiping out in its infancy of a thriving community and perhaps the loss to the nation of what might ultimately have developed into an important business center.” Really? Gilmanton Iron Works could have “developed into an important business center”? What burned that night anyway? When talking real estate, $70,000 seems a rather paltry sum today, but translate 1915 dollars into 2015 dollars and it becomes $1.6 million. The lack of a local fire company and sufficient insurance made prevention and recovery near impossible. The Laconia Citizen’s Tim Camerata reported from a walking tour led this summer by Gilmanton Historical Society President John Dickey that the fire destroyed 10 houses, a number of stores, the Free Will Baptist Church, the school house, the selectman’s office, an old tannery, and the C.A. Dockham Block that included a dry goods store, the post office, the library and the selectman’s office—leaving all town records in ashes. The 1916 Town Report notes that not only did out-oftown firefighters suppress the fire in the business and residential district, but also the Iron Works blaze sparked a fire in Edgerly’s fields that was fought by the town’s paid forest firefighters. Still, the fire only stopped when it reached the Suncook River. According to John Dickey, the Laconia Democrat reported an inspiring story of renewal and hope in its July 30, 1915, edition when it lauded townspeople for helping the town rise from the ashes. Clean up had begun, appropriation had been made for a new schoolhouse, and in ensuing months, the buildings now housing the Iron
Works Market and Post Office had been built. With new construction came upgrades: The schoolhouse, completed February 7, 1916, at a cost of $1949.25, boasted a well-lighted main room that could house up to 40 students, “furniture adjustable and up-to-date” and indoor toilets! The library, completed in 1917, is still in use today. Yet, many buildings standing when Mrs. Keys went to bed May 27, 1915, were never rebuilt after the fire. The Laconia Democrat reported in a June 4, 1915, article that few of the building owners had sufficient insurance for rebuilding. In addition, much of the industries that had once made Gilmanton Iron Works bustle were on the wane,
passed over by railroad and other modern conveyance. Did Mrs. Keys rebuild? It would seem unlikely, for apparently she was the cause of all the mayhem. Kerosene cans were found next to the ignition points of each of the fires: the one behind Mrs. Keys’ home and the one she reported in the Osborne Price building. Kerosene cans alone did not indict Mrs. Keys, but apparently coupled with the fact that she was the one who found the first fire just after midnight, and who found the other in the wee hours of the morning, cast suspicion. But the real breakthrough in the investigation seems to have come when it was discovered that Mrs. Keys had safely hidden the family silver and other valuables in the Suncook River hours before the fires began. Mrs. Keys never resided in the rebuilt village of Gilmanton Iron Works. She lived out her days in Concord at the New Hampshire State Asylum for the Insane. But perhaps insanity is all in the perspective. Was she any more insane than Moses Morrill, who did not hide treasure in water, but instead, sought to extract treasure from it? In 1778 Morrill sought and was granted permission to take iron ore from common lands and ponds of Gilmanton. He spent just a short time extracting ore from water 20 feet deep in Lougees Pond (now Crystal Lake) and processing it at his iron works 1.5 miles away. Return on investment was low, and he soon gave up the work. His efforts live on, however, in the name Gilmanton Iron Works, where the Great Fire of 1915 changed the face of a once prosperous town.

WOW: A Lot of Multi-Use Trails in the Lakes Region By Thomas P. Caldwell Those looking for recreational walking trails, bike trails, and places to take the pets have a lot of choices in the Lakes Region, with many trails completed and many more in the planning or construction stage. An ambitious, regional plan would create a circular pathway extending from the Franklin Flood Control Area through Tilton and Northfield to Belmont, Laconia, and Meredith, eventually connecting with New Hampton and Bristol and back to Franklin. The centerpiece of that trail system is the Winnisquam-OpecheeWinnipesaukee (WOW) Trail, a project that grew out of the desire of a former Laconia City Councilor to provide a place for families to get exercise while enjoying the outdoors. The late Fred Toll had been a big supporter of the Laconia Parks and Recreation Department, and he initiated the Laconia Rails with Trails Exploratory Committee in 2001, inspired by efforts to convert railroad corridors into multiuse paths — most notably the Northern Rail Trail that extends from West Lebanon through Danbury, Andover,
Franklin, and Boscawen to Concord. Planning and fundraising for the first phase of the WOW Trail took several years, but the project got underway in 2009, running from North Main Street in downtown Laconia to Elm Street in Lakeport, a distance of 1.3 miles. Running partly along sidewalks and partly on newly constructed pathways adjacent to the Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad, the WOW Trail includes bike lanes and ends in Lakeport at a garden, with parking by the Lake Opechee Inn and Spa.

Since 2013, the WOW Trail Committee has been working on Phase II, which would extend the trail another 1.1 miles, from North Main Street in Laconia to the Belmont town line on Court Street, where it would connect with the Lake Winnipesaukee Scenic Trail. That project, overseen by the Belmont Recreational Alternative Trail Team (BRATT), will be about five miles long, eventually extending to Jamestown Road at the Belmont-Tilton town line. Once Phase II of the WOW Trail is completed, the committee will look to expand the trail in the other direction, from Elm Street in Lakeport to Weirs Beach, and then on to Meredith, for a total distance of nine miles. Gretchen Gandini, the executive director of the WOW Trail Committee, said, “There’s no doubt that the Phase 1 of the WOW Trail has fast become a point of pride for the City of Laconia. But the real economic impact will not come until the trail is expanded. “A growing number of community leaders recognize that a completed trail will be a game-changer for this community,” she continued. “Not only will it enhance the quality of life for
year-round and seasonal residents, but it will attract new visitors to the area and help current and future businesses attract and retain a quality workforce by making the city a more desirable place to live, work, and play for my generation of young families. We can look at case studies of communities around the country who have seen transformative change by implementing comprehensive, regional trail systems. But, ultimately, it’s up to our community to advocate for a more walkable, bikeable city and, most importantly, help usher the project along by investing in its construction.” Gretchen said there has been great support for the current project, with $20,000 in donations, $125,000 in state business tax credits, and $400,000 from the City of Laconia in tax increment financing. All that is holding up the work is the need to secure easements and figure out how to move or build around two structures of historical significance. The recent donation of land by the family of the late Lionel Labonte will enable the committee to complete the final design of the trail, pending the city’s acceptance of the gift and the New Hampshire Bureau of Trails’ acceptance of the plans. Support for the WOW Trail also comes from annual fundraising events, the WOW Ball and Bow-Wow Fest, when pet owners are encouraged to bring their dogs for walks on the trail and to visit the various booths set up in the parking lot in Lakeport. With the city now playing host to the former Keene Pumpkin Festival, the WOW Trail Committee will be adding a new fundraising event, the Runaway Pumpkin 10K and 5K Run/Walk. The

• WOW Continued from page 30 event will take place at the Laconia Athletic and Swim Club on Saturday, Oct. 24, at 9 am. Trail Progress and Challenges Gretchen came to the WOW Trail with a background in fundraising and public relations, having worked with both the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and LRGHealthcare, which operates Lakes Region General and Franklin Regional hospitals. “I became a mom in May 2005,” Gretchen said. “I was a stay-athome mom until 2013 when I was approached to consider going back to work in a part-time capacity” as executive director of the WOW Trail, a newly created position. “While I was familiar with the WOW Trail, I hadn’t had any prior volunteer experience with the WOW Trail or [any] rail trails, for that matter. As a runner, mom of two young children, and native of the Lakes Region, I was intrigued by the project,” she said. “It was going to take something special to get me back in the game, so to speak, and the opportunity to work on this project that will enhance the quality of life for my friends and neighbors and bring a new brand of tourism to this beautiful place we call home was tremendously appealing to me.” Phase II was in the preliminary design phase when she started, and she helped to secure the tax increment financing from the Laconia City Council and the Community Development Finance
Authority tax credits, as well as introducing the annual fundraising appeal. She also increased the WOW Trail’s social media presence and the program now has “an active and engaged group of followers on Facebook,” she said. Her focus has been on increasing the community’s awareness of the benefits associated with a completed trail and an interconnected regional trail system. There also has been the detailed work of looking at fencing options, reviewing national rail trail safety records, and the economics of rail trails at the state level. She noted that worries about having trails adjacent to active railroads have proven largely groundless. According to the Rails to Trails Conservancy’s 2013 report, out of thousands of fatalities on railroad corridors across the United States, only one involved a rail trail user. “This suggests that a well-designed pathway provides a safe travel alternative and reduces incentive to trespass or use the tracks as a shortcut,” she wrote in a newspaper column. “Designing a trail within an active railroad corridor comes with challenges,” Gretchen said. “The NH Department of Transportation Bureau of Rails has clear guidelines regarding how close to the ‘active’ tracks the trail can be built and what type of fencing is required alongside the trail. Furthermore, the entire railroad corridor (and any structures located within it) is eligible for the National Historic Register. Because there are two structures within the corridor where Phase II will be built, we’ve

said she is in regular contact with the Winnipesaukee River Trail and Belmont’s Winnipesaukee Scenic Trail representatives. “Our goal is to better coordinate and promote the importance of the regional trail effort and the importance of linking our regional trail with New Hampshire’s Northern Rail Trail,” she said. Gretchen expects to have the final design of Phase II completed in the coming weeks and to submit it to the NH Bureau of Rail for final approval. “We expect to put our project to bid at the close of 2015 and build Phase II in

struggled with how to showcase this history without compromising it. “Thankfully,” she said, “the family of the late founder of Stratham Tire has decided to donate a small parcel of land to us which will allow the trail to be designed around these two historic structures. “The support for the trail has been overwhelming,” she continued. “Not a day goes by that I don’t get asked, ‘When are you going to get that thing built?’ We enjoy tremendous financial support from local businesses and residents. As well, the Belknap Economic Development Council and City of Laconia are great partners helping us usher the project along.” Recognizing the WOW Trail’s role in the regional trail system, Gretchen

• WOW Continued from page 31 spring 2016,” she said. “Following that, we will turn our attention to Phase III, arguably the most breathtaking section of trail, which will be built within the State of New Hampshire-owned railroad corridor that runs alongside Lake Winnipesaukee’s shoreline. It’s breathtaking. “I’m happy to be a part of this project that will showcase this beautiful place we call home,” Gretchen concluded. Winnipesaukee Scenic Trail The multi-use trail in Belmont got its initial boost in 2009, in the form of $282,720 in federal funds to complete Phase I, a 1.5-mile section that would extend from routes 3 and 11 along the edge of Lake Winnisquam and back to
3-11. The project had to gain town meeting support, and it just recently went out to bid, with Nelson Communications Services, Inc., being the apparent low bidder at $726,278. BRATT says the trail, when complete, will offer many opportunities to see deer, foxes, beavers, and birds, including bald eagles and an osprey nest at Ephraim’s Cove. Winnipesaukee River Trail At the Tilton town line, the Winnipesaukee Scenic Trail will meet the Winnipesaukee River Trail, although that section has not yet been completed. The Winnipesaukee River Trail starts in downtown Franklin, at Trestle View Park, with Phase I extending 3.1 miles to Northfield. Initiated in 2002

and completed in 2005, the project entered Phase II in 2010, with plans calling for the trail to continue from the train station in Northfield to Morrison Avenue, cross the railroad tracks, and again run parallel to the Winnipesaukee River until it reaches Route 140. In the three years since the groundbreaking, Northfield and Tilton officials have been working on obtaining the necessary rights of way and making some land purchases so the project could go forward. The Winnipesaukee River Trail Association was successful in getting an 80 percent federal grant, contingent upon raising the other 20 percent in matching funds, but fell short in its fundraising efforts. As a result, the association decided to postpone building the bridge that would cross the river to connect Granite Street in Northfield with Tilton’s portion of the trail. Instead, the trail picks up at a parking area across from the Tilton Police Station. Those coming from Franklin on the trail will need to use sidewalks on Elm Street in Northfield, and cross into Tilton on Cannon Bridge, then use the sidewalks from downtown Tilton to the parking area where the trail resumes.

There are 10 miles of multi-use trails on the property, which is managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers. Across the Pemigewasset River in West Franklin is Old Route 3-A, which extends into Old Hill Village and on to the Profile Falls parking area in Bristol. Also part of the flood control area, the road is popular among bicyclists, walkers, and pet owners who can explore many side trails and the fields and wooded areas where Hill Village stood before the town was relocated on higher ground to provide a storage area for water behind the Franklin dam. Bristol Multi-Use Path Planning is underway for an extension of the Bristol Multi-Use Path into a Riverwalk from downtown Bristol to the old train depot on Central Street, then along the Pemigewasset River to the Profile Falls area, where it will connect to the Franklin Flood Control Area. Bristol’s pathway got its start in 1999 with planning for a multi-use trail that would extend from Newfound Lake to downtown Bristol. The path actually ends at the former Mill Stream property

Additionally, those with limited mobility have places to go where they will not be contending with automobile traffic, and they can see a bit of nature while they’re at it. Pet owners also appreciate having a place to go with their dogs where they are safe and welcomed. The fact that the trails pass through interesting areas people miss while driving is another positive element of the multi-use trails, and they offer a way to connect sections of the towns that formerly were difficult to visit without the use of a car. Popular support for multi-use trails means that there will be more to come. Already there are more than 100 railtrails in the United States, and the numbers are increasing rapidly. With all the Lakes Region has to offer, its multi-use trails provide another reason to visit or settle here.
on Lake Street, with bicyclists and walkers having to use the streets and sidewalks between there and Central Square. The new section, the Riverwalk, would start at the Minot-Sleeper Library on Pleasant Street and continue through Central Square to Central Street and the Pemigewasset River. The Riverwalk would lead to a new park at Water Street where the walkway would cross a bridge where the train station used to sit. From there it would run along the old rail bed adjacent to the Pemigewasset. Because the path would end at Profile Falls, the US Army Corps of Engineers will need to approve the plans. More To Come Multi-use trails take years to complete, and some trails do not even have formal planning underway, but the Lakes Region Planning Commission has identified such trails as being important to the local towns’ economies as well as providing an alternative to congested highways. Eventually, trails in Meredith could

The Effingham Historical Society announces historic ornament series! The Effingham Historical Society has announced the Historic Effingham ornament series. Highlighting 10 historic structures in the Town of Effingham—one each year—the series is designed as a fundraiser, with 50 percent of the proceeds from the sale of each ornament going toward the preservation and restoration of the featured building. Hampshire Pewter will produce the ornaments at their Somersworth, NH
facility. Hampshire Pewter utilizes a centuries-old hand-casting method to create beautiful pewter products from a lead-free, specialized Queen’s Metal formula. In 2015, the ornament will highlight the Historic Effingham Town Hall located at 30 Town House Road in Center Effingham. Originally constructed as the New England Masonic Charitable Institute between 1858 and 1861 by the Charter Oak
Lodge #58 of Free & Accepted Masons, it housed the Effingham town offices for more than a century, and is currently the home of the Effingham Public Library. The Charter Oak Lodge still meets on the second floor, as they have continuously since 1861. The ornaments sell for $16.00 each. Pre-paid orders are being accepted now through September 17. Order forms may be obtained at the Effingham Historical Society, the Effingham
Preservation Society, the Effingham Public Library, or the Ye Olde Sale Shoppe during regular meetings or business hours. In addition, an order form may be obtained by emailing the Society at effinghamhistoricalsociety@gmail. com, noting “Historic Ornament Series” in the subject line. All orders

The Changing Fortunes of War The Wright Museum in Wolfeboro will host the 17th session of the Ron Goodgame and Donna Canney 2015 Educational Programming on Tuesday, Sept. 1, beginning at 7 pm. Doors open at 6 pm. The program is titled The Changing Fortunes of War and is a lecture on FDR by Jeff Urbin.
On December 9, 1941, President Roosevelt used one of his famous Fireside Chats to announce to a stunned nation that America was at war. Although in hindsight, Allied victory may seem to have been assured, the ultimate outcome of the Second World War was far from certain. In his talk, Jeff Urban will highlight the roles played by President and Mrs. Roosevelt in leading the nation to victory through the uncertain course of the war in Europe, the Pacific, and here at home.
Jeffrey Urbin is the Education Specialist at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park, New York, and is responsible for all the library’s educational offerings from the second grade to the elder hostel program. He is also head of the Pare Lorentz Film Center at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library. Urban holds degrees in Public Administration and Political Science, and taught history and government for public and private colleges before joining the National Archives and Records Administration at the Roosevelt Presidential Library. Admission is $8.00 per person and free for Wright Museum members. Space is limited; RSVPs are strongly encouraged to ensure sufficient seating for all lecture attendees. Call 569-1212 to reserve your seat today. The Wright Museum is located at 77 Center Street
