Madison Historical Society - A Century of Games By Mary MacKenzie The Madison Historical Society, located on 19 East Madison Road in Madison, is part of the “Silver Lake Community.” Silver Lake is a pristine body of water, which is also located in Madison. The Society itself is located in the old building that was the original Madison town hall. The Madison Historical Society’s (MHS) mission, according to information procured from www.madisonhistoricalsociety.org, states that it is… to provide an opportunity for united thought and action in collecting and preserving articles of historic interest to the town of Madison: to encourage and assist in research: to collect, arrange and record facts relative to the town: to inform newcomers of Madison’s rich past, and to show handiwork, home furnishings and the way of life of the residents of the town from the earliest time through the present.” (MHS bylaws, rev. 2006.) The MHS was organized on Sept. 3, 1958, and meetings are held the third Thursday from May to Sept. I was told by Karen Lord, curator, and Linda Smith, president of MHS, that the building also functioned as a high school in the 1920s. When you walk through the doors, you are immediately transported back in time. If you look down at the floor, you notice “markings” that say it was also used as the school’s gymnasium. These markings are reminiscent of an old basketball court, shuffleboard, and other physi-

cal education activities. Further into the building you will find the kitchen still has an old wood stove. This wood stove is in working order and is used for partial heating. Since the structure is dependent upon the weather and doesn’t have central heating, it is only open during the warmer months. The Madison Historical Society has a wonderful display that began on June

22 and is called “A Century of Games.” Some of the games, puzzles and toys date as far back as 1857 and proceed to the present day, which spans 162 years. Most of the toys and games for the event are on loan by both current and former residents of Madison, and some have been donated to the Society. The games, toys, and puzzles are strategically placed in chronological

order so as you walk through the museum, you are literally taking a “stroll through time.” The older toys and games are at the beginning of the exhibit and the display finishes with toys and games from our present era. The oldest game is called a “Trip to Paris” and it was made circa 1857. This is a word game where words are left blank in sentences and players must fill in the blank with the appropriate answer. One puzzle was made in the 1930s by Fred Stevens, a Silver Lake resident. This puzzle is called “The Three Pine Picture Puzzle.” There are Alphabet Blocks that were hand carved from wood by Gilman A. Whitman (1938-1930); they are on loan by Penny and Michael Hathaway. Gilman A. Whitman was their greatgreat grandfather. It was interesting to see that one of the oldest games still played today is the game “Life.” It is a Milton Bradley toy that has been enjoyed by board game enthusiasts since the 1880s, and anyone familiar with the “who-doneit” game of “Clue,” will be interested to know that it spans from the 1950s up to the different versions created in the 2000s. Another old game that has traversed time is “Tiddly Winks” from 1935 to the 1990s. There are Erector sets, and Lincoln Logs that individuals who were children in the 1960s would remember using their expertise and • Madison Continued on page 5

loom to advanced weavers who want to work on their own project. Because this is a small class, each student will receive instruction and teacher support that promotes growth and helps expand their skills. The class is appropriate for adults and children 10+ years of age who are serious about learning. To maintain a small class size, seats are limited. Join renowned artist Robert O’Brien for Painting the Many Moods and Facets of Water in the Watercolor Medium. This class, which will be held at the Center Sandwich Fine Craft Gallery, is for all skill levels and may be taken for

two consecutive days or a single day on July 24 and/or July 25 from 10 am to 4 pm. Students will learn techniques from rendering a simple reflective puddle to a swift moving mountain stream and everything in between. Tuition is $80/day and is appropriate for adults (18+).

Also on display is a hand-carved wooden cart with oxen created by Clarence Thurston in the 1930s. According to Linda Smith, president and Karen Lord, curator, Mr. Thurston was a Silver Lake resident who was confined to a wheelchair but adamantly refused to allow this to stop him from journeying around town and getting from one place to another. Mr. Thurston would be seen wheeling himself to “Chick’s Mill” to procure some of the beautiful soft pine scraps that the millers had discarded. He would then take these so-called pine scraps and hand carve beautiful creations, like the Cart and Oxen as well as other toys for enjoyment. It has also been said that he hand-carved a replica of a Concord Coach. There is a game table that was created by a cabinet maker from Germany loaned by Linda and Jeff Balogh. It has poker chips for the card game enthusiast, or it can be turned around to expose a checkerboard on the other side for the Kreg Jig or chess enthusiast.

The display of toys, games, and puzzles are presented with a reverence, and respect of the past that is felt upon entering the building. The toys, games and puzzles in the very early years were created from paper, cardboard and wood. As toys, games, and puzzles progressed through time, (i.e.: 1970s through the present) they were created from plastic, and used batteries for lighting and sound, like the board game “Operation.” The Madison Historical Society’s plan is to continue on its mission to keep the history of Madison alive, and accessible. The Madison Historical Society is a non-profit organization. It is part of the New Hampshire Historical Society and according to the website (www. madisonhistoricalsociety.org), Linda Smith, President, and Karen Lord, Curator, it has won two awards from the Association of Historical Societies of New Hampshire. The first was an award for (2018) “Exhibition Excellence” for the exhibit of “Quilts Then Folding Sawhorse and Now” which exhibited over 100 Twin Pack quilts from 1850s to the present, and Flat-folding, free standing, the second was the (2016) “Public Proanti-slip rubber bases. gram Award” from the Association of Capacity: 1,000 lb per pair.

The pianos are free for public use, and people are encouraged to enjoy them and share their music. “These pianos are a perfect example of grassroots efforts to put ideas into action,” Mills noted. Setting out pianos downtown for public use was originally the idea of the Creating Vibrancy group, absorbed in 2018 into Rochester Main Street’s Design Committee. (The Design Committee is a volunteer-based committee.) Rochester Main Street welcomes volunteer involvement. If you are interested in participating with this effort or any other Main Street programs, contact the office at Director@RochesterMainStreet.org.

If you’ve always wanted to try your hand at the piano, Rochester Main Street invites you downtown to use the portable piano recently set out for public use. The piano is currently on display in front of Riverstone’s Custom Framing at 33 North Main Street in downtown Rochester. The public is welcome to create music and entertain passersby. The piano was recently tuned by Certified Piano Technician Carroll Stevens of Cedarwing Music. The piano was also fully painted by Body Creations Tattoo. They chose an “Alice in Wonderland” theme and brought whimsy to the piano. “The artists at Body Creations did an absolutely amazing job,” said Angela Mills, Executive Director for Rochester Main Street. “We were thrilled to have the artists of Body Creations involved.” This piano will be outside and avail-

Have Chef - Will Travel Surf & Turf on the Grill By Chef Kelly Ross Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme is one of my favorites, and that is classic Surf & Turf (S&T). As a chef, when I hear of S&T, I â&#x20AC;&#x153;usuallyâ&#x20AC;? try to include something either lobster or shrimp involved as far as Surf. As for Turf, I always think beef and nothing else. Sure, I consider a baked scallop dish or maybe a small cut of fish as a Surf as there are options out there. When it comes to a true Surf & Turf, there are many choices and no answer is wrong; it all depends on personal preference. I am about to share options that have no down side, unless

you are allergic to shellfish. Quite often with S&T, trying to find the right combinations and the right size portions is part of the equation. I often include a kabob into the mix, but not always. When it comes to shellfish, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generally easier to control the portion size. Grilling shrimp, scallops, or even a lobster tail isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lot of food, so combining these types of foods with a steak works well. On the other side of the coin, if you prefer a nice 8 oz. portion of salmon, swordfish, or a lake trout, I usually go with steak kabobs or a small steak, which is why you quite

often see a small filet mignon paired up with seafood when ordering surf and turf in a restaurant. When it comes to cooking a filet mignon, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only time I prefer cooking in a pan on the stove rather than the grill. Pan seared in a brown butter with a sprig or two of fresh thyme, then toss in some onions and mushrooms and finish with a few splashes of red wine, is what a real filet is all about in my humble opinion. For starters, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going with a non-traditional S&T recipe because this one is a salad, and a darn good one I might add. It contains grilled flank steak and jumbo shrimp on top of a fun array of ingredients with a delicious Dijon vinaigrette dressing. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat many salads, but when they are topped with the best of land and sea, I usually jump all over them and I will be willing to bet you will as well. It also comes with fingerling potatoes. This recipe will easily get you 4 salads, and possibly more depending on who is eating. S&T Salad Âź cup white wine vinegar 1 Â˝ tbsp Dijon mustard 2 cloves garlic, minced 4 anchovy fillets Â˝ cup olive oil, plus more for driz-

zling 1 Â˝ lb flank steak, cut in half lengthwise Sea salt & freshly ground pepper 1 lb fingerling potatoes 1 Â˝ lb jumbo shrimp, deveined and shelled 4 cups baby spinach 1 bunch watercress, trimmed and rough cut 2 heads of fresh lettuce, torn into large pieces Âź cup rough chopped fresh chives Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s start with the dressing. Pour the vinegar, mustard, garlic, anchovies, and 2 tbsp water in a food processor and blend until smooth. With the processor still running, add the olive oil and puree. Season the beef with salt and pepper, put into a glass baking dish and pour Âź cup of the dressing over the beef. Flip the steak pieces over a couple of times so both sides are well coated. Wrap with plastic and refrigerate up to 8 hours. Refrigerate the remaining dressing as well. Once getting close to grilling time, put the spuds in a pot with water and salt and bring to a boil, drop to a simmer and cook â&#x20AC;˘ Have Chef Continued on page 13

July 2019 | ALONG ROUTE 16 | Page 13 • Have Chef Continued from page 12 until slightly tender, usually about 10 minutes or so. Drain and transfer to a bowl. Grease and preheat your grill to medium high. Drizzle oil over the spuds, add some salt and pepper and toss. Pop them on the grill about the same time as the steak as they will take about the same amount of time, about 8 minutes, but you really want to make sure the beef doesn’t go beyond medium rare. The shrimp should also be put in a bowl with some oil, salt and pepper and tossed well, then grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side. Again, do not overcook them. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes on a cutting board. Combine the three lettuce products as well as the chives on as many plates as you are serving. Drizzle ½ of the dressing over the lettuce mix. Thinly slice the steak and put on all plates in an even line, do the same with the potatoes and the shrimp so you have three nice lines for a great presentation. Drizzle with the last of the dressing and dig in. If you are a big fan of extra dressing, don’t be afraid to double up when making the dressing. So let’s get more traditional, shall we? Here are a couple of great items that pair up extremely well. They have an Asian flare that goes well together, one with a sesame and ginger thing, and the other with a wasabi fusion thing. They will cook quickly but will need some marinating. I love just about any ethnic style of cooking, but great Asian fusion, as well as authentic Mexican, are easily the winners in my book. As far as the wasabi, I suggest buying prepared items as they are so much easier and cheaper than building your own. This will feed 4 easily, maybe more, once again depending on your crowd. Asian Steak Skewers & Wasabi Scallops For the Skewers 2 lbs steak cut into 1 ½ in. cubes 2 tbsp honey ¼ cup soy sauce ½ tsp ground ginger

½ tsp granulated garlic ¼ tsp black pepper For the Scallops 1 ½ lbs of large sea scallops 3 oz lemon pepper marinade, I suggest buying it) ½ cup wasabi ginger sauce (buy it) 2 lbs hickory smoked bacon 1 jar wasabi dip (buy it) 8 skewers, if wooden, soak for at least a ½ hour Veggies of choice if wanted on kabobs Toothpicks, soaking in water Let’s start with the kabobs. In a large bowl, add all ingredients except the steak and mix well. Pop in the steak cubes and let them marinate for up to a day. Skewer the tips as they are, or add veggies depending on if you may be cooking other side dishes. Now to prep the scallops. Let them soak in the lemon pepper marinade for 10-15 minutes. Wrap each scallop in a bacon strip, piercing with a toothpick. Turn a well-oiled grill to medium heat. Pop on the kabobs for a total of 8 minutes, turning as needed. As for scallops, brush liberally with the wasabi ginger sauce and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side. You obviously want the bacon cooked, but ideally the scallops should be cooked more to a medium. Every grill is different, so if the bacon is burning up, move to the other side of the grill on a lower heat. Regardless, continue to brush the scallops with the wasabi ginger sauce. Test one scallop by inserting a paring knife into the center. It should be barely translucent when removing from the grill as they will continue to cook. I love to serve these with a wasabi dip to lather onto the scallops at the table, and serve with the delicious kabobs and any side dish. This combo is so darn good together. Next on the Surf & Turf agenda, we are going with a peanut theme. I’m a big fan of any peanut sauce and the spicier the better in my book. I am utilizing a great steak which I have always called a Fenway Steak. Going to Fenway for me is something I have done over 200 times, and to me, 2 of the biggest staples once in the ballpark

are peanuts and beer. Both are key to this recipe, which is why I call it my Fenway Steak. On the other end, we will be going with a great salmon kabob with a tremendous peanut sauce. These two recipes are paired together like chocolate and peanut butter. This will easily feed 4-6 people. Salmon Skewers with Peanut Sauce and a Fenway Steak

For the Salmon Sauce 3 scallions, finely chopped 1 ½ tbsp fresh peeled ginger, finely chopped 1 cup chunky peanut butter 3-6 drops of hot sauce of choice, depending on the level of heat you want ¾ cup hot water • Have Chef Continued on page 14

2 lbs of steak of choice; I would go with a 4 small NY sirloins To marinate the steaks, pop the beer, peanuts and pepper in a blender until smooth. Put the steaks in a glass baking dish, pour the beer mix over them, flip the steaks a few times to get them coated, cover in plastic and marinate over night. It’s time to talk salmon and let’s start with the sauce. In a large bowl, add all the sauce ingredients and stir vigorously until you have a very smooth sauce. Cover and refrigerate. This can be made a day or 2 in advance if preferred. Once ready to grill, pull sauce to room temp a couple of hours in advance. Once getting close to grilling, in a bowl, combine everything but the salmon, limes and skewers. Add the salmon chunks and stir gently so all chunks are well coated. After 10 to 15

minutes, skewer the salmon chunks as they are, or add veggies if preferred. Put them on a small sheet pan for the time being, pouring excess marinade over the kabobs. On a well-oiled medium to medium high grill, add the steaks as well as the kabobs. Turn them as needed. Serve the steaks as is, add extra peanuts over the top if preferred, and as for the salmon, lather the peanut sauce over the kabobs, and if you prefer, do the same with the steaks. One last classic Surf & Turf recipe. Let’s introduce a grilled lobster tail into the equation. As I said way back when in this article, if you don’t like lobster, my guess is you are allergic to them. So sad. All in all, the lobster tail is very simple. You can either buy a live lobster and take his tail off and prep. Most supermarkets also sell frozen lobster tails, so whatever you prefer is good. This is being combined with a great Margarita steak, and regardless of the name, no alcohol is involved. This will get you 4-6 S&T’s depending on the people and size of the lobster tails. Grilled Lobster Tail with a Simple Béarnaise Sauce with a Margarita Steak The Lobster 1 tbsp fresh chopped tarragon 1 small single serve cup of lemon yogurt 4 tbsp softened butter 2 tsp fresh lemon juice 2 tsp white wine 2 sprigs fresh thyme, chopped 4-8 oz fresh lobster tails, or you can buy frozen tails, although they are much smaller ¾ tsp salt, divided

The Steaks 12 oz can frozen margarita juice mix Four 8 oz steaks of choice Sea salt & fresh ground black pepper ¼ cup fresh chopped cilantro Sliced chopped fresh jalapenos, optional Let’s start with the béarnaise sauce for the lobster by adding the first 6 ingredients until well blended. Now this is not a traditional Béarnaise as that would be made with raw egg yolks and such, and as delicious as it is, in this situation with hot summer heat, I find it advisable not to create this. Refrigerate the sauce until an hour or so before service. With a sharp set of kitchen shears, slit the underbelly of the lobster tail very gently. Pull the tail apart somewhat, rip out the cartilage over the meat so all you have left is the great lobster tail meat. Brush melted butter all over the cut side of the lobster. It will cook up quickly, as I generally go with the tail flesh side down for 3-4 minutes, flip them over, butter some more, and let finish in 5-6 minutes or so, depending on tail size. As for the steaks, marinate in the thawed margarita mix for 2-6 hours. They will cook for about the same time as the lobster tails. Once cooked, drizzle the lobster tail with the Béarnaise sauce and top the steaks with cilantro and jalapenos. This is another fun combo that marries well. Until next time my Route 16 friends and family, I wish you a great summer. I’ll be in touch in about a month talking about great picnic ideas for hanging on the Saco River or going anywhere for that matter.

July 2019 | ALONG ROUTE 16 | Page 17 • Highway Markers Continued from page 16 of 10 new markers. While driving along the state’s class I, II, and III roads, you no doubt have passed these white-on-forest green, rectangular, metal markers, each bearing the state seal. Hopefully you have taken the time to stop and study the markers, as each has an important story to tell about an episode of the state’s history and the people who made it. These attractive signs describe a variety of events, including those that involved the Abenaki, resident artists, military and political leaders, and sports figures; some commemorate meeting houses, stone arch and covered bridges, long-lost villages, factories, cemeteries, the logging industry, resort hotels, and places where international and extra-terrestrial history was made. At the beginning of this year, there were 259 historic markers. Approximately 10 percent of these are situated along roadways in the White Mountains. Several markers tell the story of the region’s early indigenous occupation and subsequent settlement by white immigrants. Others identify key locales of the vital logging industry and family farms during the 19th cen-

tury. Also celebrated are the region’s emergence as a haven for artists, the role of evolving transportation technology, and its development as a favored tourism destination. There are approximately a dozen markers situated in the southern portion of the White Mountains. Each is numbered. Here are some of my favorites: 11. First Ascent of Mount Washington Township of Pinkham’s Grant “Darby Field, a New Hampshire settler, accomplished this difficult feat in 1642 from a southerly approach. Partly guided by Indians and with only primitive equipment at his disposal, he is thus alleged to be the originator of all Mount Washington ascensions.” 30. The Crawford Family Town of Carroll “For whom the Notch is named, included Abel and his sons Thomas J. and Ethan Allen. They established the first regional hotels and pioneered in opening the White Mountain area to the public. Ethan and his wife, Lucy Howe Crawford, author of an 1846 history of the region, are buried in a nearby cemetery.” 38. White Mountain School of Art Town of Conway “Since ThomasCole’s visit in 1828,

New Hampshire’s splendid scenery has been an enduring inspiration to countless landscape artists. From 1850 to 1890 this region was particularly favored for their easels. Benjamin Champney (1871-1907), New Hampshire-born painter, described the glorious era in ‘Sixty Years of Art and Artists.’ ” 45. Mount Washington Cog Railway Township of Bean’s Grant “”Completed in 1869 for $139,500, this unique railway was built through the genius and enterprise of Herrick and Walter Aiken of Franklin and Sylvester Marsh of Campton. Over three miles long, the average grade to the 6,293-foot summit is one foot in four. Made safe by toothed wheel and ratchet, it is the second steepest in the world and the first of its type.” 122.

Designed by New York architect Charles Alling Gifford (18611937), the hotel was financed by Concord, N.H. native Joseph Stickney (1840-1903), an industrialist who had purchased 10,000 acres here in 1881. Served by as many as 57 trains a day, the Mount Washington Hotel became known as one of the most luxurious summer resorts in the United States. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1986.

• Highway Markers Continued from page 17 the town of Carroll, named ‘Bretton Woods’ in 1903 to recall the original land grant of 1772, was chosen in July 1944 as the location of one of the most important meetings of the 20th century. Convened by the allied nations before the end of WWII and attended by representatives of 44 countries, the Bretton Woods Conference established regulations for the international monetary system following the war. The conference created the International Monetary Fund and the future World Bank, and linked the exchange rate of world currencies to the value of gold.” 174. Loveland Bridge Town of Rumney “The crutch mill of Lewis H. Loveland, Jr., once located below this bridge, operated from 1890 into the early 20th century, when some thirty industries drew water power from the four mile length of Stinson Brook. Loveland, known as ‘King of Crutches,’ sent exports as far away as Africa and Australia. During the World War I period his company manufactured more than 3,000 pairs weekly. Loveland’s productivity and that of the local mills gave Rumney distinction as the ‘Crutch Capital of the World.” 196. Blair Bridge Town of Campton “Hiram W. Merrill (1822-1898) of Plymouth, N.H., built this bridge in 1870 to replace a span of 1829 that had been burned by an arsonist. The bridge employs a truss design patented

by Col. Stephen Harriman Long (17841864) of Hopkinton, N.H. It is New Hampshire’s only surviving example of Long’s patent to retain wedges at the lower chords by which the trusses were pre-stressed during construction, stiffening the bridge against the weight of traffic. Covered bridge expert Milton S. Graton (1908-1994) restored the structure in 1977.” 213. Frankenstein Trestle Town of Hart’s Location “The high steel trestle above was built in 1893 to replace a wrought iron trestle of 1875, and was strengthened in 1930 and 1950. Named for American Artist Godfrey N. Frankenstein (1820–1873), the adjacent cliff and gulf were formidable barriers to completion of the Portland and Ogdensburg Railroad, later the Maine Central, which connected Portland, ME, and the Great Lakes. Trains used the trestle until 1983. It now carries excursion trains through Crawford Notch.” 224. Betty and Barney Hill Incident Town of Lincoln “On the night of September 19-20, 1961, Portsmouth, NH couple Betty and Barney Hill experienced a close encounter with an unidentified flying object and two hours of ‘lost’ time while driving south on Route 3 near Lincoln. They filed an official Air Force Project Blue Book report of a brightly lit cigar-shaped craft the next day, but were not public with their story until it was leaked in the Boston Traveler in 1965. This was the first widely reported UFO abduction report in the United States.”

Area Blue Star Museums Blue Star Families build communities to support military families by connecting research and data to programs and solutions, including career development tools, local community events for families, and caregiver support. Since its inception in 2009, Blue Star Families has engaged tens of thousands of volunteers, serving more than 1.5 million military family members. With the support of Blue Star Families, military families can find answers to their challenges. Museums nationwide are participating in the tenth summer of Blue Star Museums, a program which provides free admission to our nation’s active-duty military personnel and their families. The 2019 program will conclude on Monday, September 2, which is Labor Day. This year’s participating nationwide organizations include fine art, science, history, and children’s museums, as well as zoos, aquariums, gardens, science centers, and more. Find a list of museums at arts.gov/bluestarmuseums. Blue Star Museums is an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts, in collaboration with Blue Star Families, the Department of Defense, and more than 2,000 museums nationwide. “The National Endowment for the Arts is proud to celebrate the tenth summer of collaborating with Blue Star Families,

Department of Defense, and especially the more than 2,000 museums across our nation that make this program possible,” said Mary Anne Carter, acting chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts. “Organizations such as the Wright Museum of World War II are providing wonderful opportunities for military families to share a memorable experience together this summer.” The free admission program is available for those currently serving in the United States military—Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard as well as members of the Reserves, National Guard, U.S. Public Health Commissioned Corps, NOAA Commissioned Corps, and up to five family members. Qualified members must show a Geneva Convention common access card (CAC), DD Form 1173 ID card (dependent ID), or a DD Form 1173-1 ID card for entrance into a participating Blue Star Museum. At the Wright Museum of World War II on Center Street in Wolfeboro, admission is free through September 2 for those currently serving in the U.S. military. (Free admission is offered to those who serve in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, National Guard, U.S. Public Health Commissioned Corps or NOAA Commissioned Corps and up to five family members.)

The NH Boat Museum is a Blue Star Museum and well worth a visit.

“We are proud to be part of this program and to say, ‘thank you’ to all those who serve our nation,” said museum Executive Director Mike Culver. The region’s leading resource for educators and learners of all ages on World War II, the Wright Museum features more than 14,000 items in its collection that are representative of both the home front and battle field.
