The Isaac Adams Homestead Takes on New Life

By Barbara Neville Wilson Photos courtesy John Dolan For me, half the treat of going to Sandwich Fair the past few years has been spying out progress on The Isaac Adams Homestead at the top of Wentworth Hill in Sandwich.

An imposing array of buildings, the Homestead lay derelict, decaying more each year.

Then, one year we saw signs of progress, and in 2015 we were greeted by a freshly renovated, newly painted red windmill. I had long wondered about the estate’s history, but now I wanted to know about its future, too.

This led to the Sandwich Historical Society’s “Excursions” and numerous other resources by past director and master craftsman Adam NuddHomeyer. I learned that while the Victorian-era Isaac Adams Homestead dates to the 1850s, its roots stretch to the 1820s when Sandwich was one of the most populated towns in the state and on the shortlist to be named state capital.

It was in 1820 that a young Isaac Adams arrived in Lower Village (of which Wentworth Hill is a part) as a journeyman cabinetmaker to Benjamin Jewett. He performed well, and was apparently well liked, but after four years he decided to seek his fortune in Boston. It is said he vowed to a farmer on leaving that he would return to Sandwich so successful he would be “able to purchase your farm, if not all the farms in Sandwich.” He kept

Said to be assembled from three different buildings, the Isaac Adams Homestead is undergoing a multi-year renovation. Seen here is work on the front tower after Sandwich craftsman Adam Nudd-Homeyer restored the magnificent medallions. his vow and in 1852, he returned to start amassing property. Funds came from his hugely successful patented invention: the world’s first steampowered automated book press.

Isaac Adams’ first purchase was the property of the former Sandwich Academy. It is said he then moved two other buildings and added them to a house already standing on the site, giving it a unique shape. In a town of Colonial and Federal-style homes, its three-story tower, now displaying colorful medallions newly restored by

Adam Nudd-Homeyer, is unusually Victorian.

In 1856, Isaac came to live at his Homestead full-time. For the next 28 years, he accumulated and developed huge swaths of land. When he died in 1883, his estate included 2,6000 acres of property - houses, barns, outbuildings and a stonewall said to be wide enough for a carriage to drive on. He designed elaborate gardens and installed so much classical statuary along the way to Little Pond that residents called it “Image Road.” It

is said Isaac paid higher than market price for real estate, and paid wages higher than the going rate to employees and contractors.

Isaac was a man of big dreams; he supposedly considered at one time building a canal from his home to Lake Winnipesaukee and, at another, salting Little Pond so he could raise lobsters for his dinner table. He also cultivated petty animosities, and is said to have erected the menacing statue “Niobe” (restored in 2011 by Adam NuddHomeyer) to tower over the home of a neighbor with whom he quarreled.

After his death, the Homestead passed to his son, then to Sandwich native Alice Blanchard Moorhouse, a successful Boston printer and local benefactor, then renowned antiques dealer Katherine (Flett) Bryer White, and finally real estate legend, Denley Emerson, who said he bought it in 1964 for the 300 acres that came with it. “I was just compelled by my idiosyncracies [sic] to buy anything that abuts me, if I can. That eventually led to my being able to put together that conservation easement on the land, which pleases me much.” He was never able to make use of the house, however, because of problems he had bringing a water supply to it. “…so I finally just abandoned any effort to use that. It just sits there, going down hill [sic] very fast,” he said in a 1998 interview.

When Emerson died in 2008, he • Issac Continued on page 4

• Issac Continued from page 3 left behind the Homestead with tight restrictions for development. In 2013 it was bought by John Dolan, who grew up in Center Harbor and is now a businessman in New York City.

John is renovating the Isaac Adams Homestead, hoping to make it a bed and breakfast.

In the past three and a half years John and his talented team have dug into the project. So far, they have shored up the foundations of barns and outbuildings, making them workshops, and possibly event spaces after renovation is complete; restored the windmill in time for a 130th birthday celebration (September 22, 2015); insulated; replaced all the home’s plumbing, electrical and heating systems; and are in the process of replacing all 120 of the home’s windows with Harvey Tribute triple-panes; and they have installed an Anderson-glassed south porch so views can be enjoyed in all seasons.

John praises his main contractors, Jim and Thomas Gehrke and Allen Seeley, saying, “With their expertise and guidance, the reality of getting finished is coming to fruition.” John is not trying to restore the Homestead to perfect historic authenticity, but instead wants to transport guests to another era while allowing them to enjoy modern amenities and even touches of luxury.

One of the first finished projects was a restructuring of the Homestead’s icehouse as an intimate chapel to memorialize John’s sisters, Maryrose and Kathleen, who lost battles to cancer

The barns are used now as workshops by many skilled workers. Owner John Dolan may make them event venues in the future. within a year and a half of each other.

John had pink stained glass windows and a center Celtic cross custom made to their memory. The chapel was the site for the christening of John’s grandson recently, and, to honor all women who battle cancer, John has vowed to open the chapel free of charge to women who have battled cancer and wish to be married there. Just imagine being part of such a service centered in the shadow of the Ossipee and Sandwich Mountains!

A project of this scope does not come without its challenges, however, and John is grateful to the many people who have helped him navigate through the project. He mentions attorney Boone Porter, family friend Jill Emerson Rawson and Sandwich

Town Clerk Jennifer L. Wright, “who has helped guide me through the road of permits and regulations quite wisely.” And John gives special credit to “My friend Adam Nudd-Homeyer.

Without his help, reassuring pep talks and knowledge of the local history, this would have been a doomed process and The Isaac Adams Homestead would have gone to the wrecking ball.”

Yes, there have been hurdles, but John is an optimist. He lives with great hope that obstacles imposed can be overcome and the Isaac Adams Homestead will serve guests for decades ahead. After so many hours and years of work, though, I think I hear just a little impatience in his next words. “I really just want to get it opened, so many people may enjoy it as much as

I think they will.” He notes how much he appreciates the understanding and patience of townspeople during the long reconstruction process.

This year, as you crest Wentworth Hill in Lower Corner on your way to Sandwich Fair, slow just a bit to look at all the progress made at the Isaac Adams Homestead: the stonework, the tower, barns and windmill, the house standing tall with new windows and doors.

“I truly feel blessed to have the resources to do this project,” says owner John Dolan. “This house was a gift to me, a most amazing piece of American history, and when I’m gone, it will be bestowed upon another generation. I am just my generation’s caretaker.”

(The Isaac Adams Homestead is on Wentworth Hill Road in Sandwich, NH. Great thanks is due the resources consulted for this article: The Inventor & the Inventor’s Son: The Two Isaac Adams by Anthony Marolda; Sandwich, NH 1763-1990, A Little World by Itself, edited by Patricia Heard and Shirley Elder Lyons; Sandwich NH Bicentennial 1763-1963 pamphlet, and numerous editions of Excursions from the Sandwich Historical Society.

Special thanks to the Isaac Adams Homestead owner John Dolan, and Adam Nudd-Homeyer a modern Renaissance man: welder, Tappan chair maker, past head of the Sandwich Historical Society, and keeper, with his neighbors, of the Lower Corner flame.)

Lakes Region Authors to Read and Sign New Book Lakes Region poets Barbara Bald and Beth Fox will introduce their newly published book, Other Voices/Other Lives at a reading hosted by Wolfeboro Library on October 6 at 7 pm.

Other Voices/Other Lives, released this summer, has gathered high praise from New England’s poetry luminaries.

Robert Demaree, author of Fathers and Sons, Mileposts and After Labor Day, says, “In Other Voices/Other Lives, Bald takes us along in her volunteer service with senior adults, bringing her distinctive poetic voice to the many stories she has learned from the seniors she has come to know. These fine poems are part of her service to them as well as to the reading public.”

Charlotte Cox, author of Currents in the Stream adds, “This is a wonderfully moving look at the world through other people’s eyes. Bald finds her inspiration in the stories shared by elderly residents in an assisted living community. She elevates their words through her own expert poetry and brings their memories to life for readers of all ages. These poems are full of love, loss, sadness, humor, and the triumph of the human spirit.”

Two years ago Barbara Bald and poet/friend Beth Fox decided to explore the possibility of reading poetry to assisted living residents of Sugar Hill Retirement Community in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. To their

Collecting History: the Postcards of David Bowers at the Wolfeboro Public Library

By Sarah Wright Postcard images courtesy David Bowers/Wolfeboro Public Library New Hampshire is a beautiful state that is rich with history. There are many ways we can find out more about local history, but perhaps one of the best resources is right here in the Lakes Region. David Bowers, Wolfeboro resident and Trustee of the New Hampshire Historical Society, has been collecting postcards of old New Hampshire for over 30 years. What began as a hobby became more of a mission, and through the years David amassed a collection of over 10,000 postcards dating from the 1890s to the boats, parks, hotels, and islands. Every 1930s. That’s pretty amazing! town on Lake Winnipesaukee had If there’s any town or specific tourist color postcards featuring recreation on attraction you’re interested in, David the lake. David also has images of the likely has it. His collection is also historic Bear Island Hotel that burned arranged alphabetically, for easier down in 1934 and the Sandy Island access.

Most of the state to the White Mountains postcard scenes are outdoors; it took and beyond, you’ll find a postcard for a long time to set up flash for interior it.

There are also tourist center, and David says that the www.thelaker.com some postcards in the collection that stronger a tourist attraction is, the more say something like, “Wolfeboro in the postcard images will be available for Where-To-Go, What-To-Do Guide Your Future” and it will have an image of it. He has a very diverse selection from Region thecarLakes afor street or airship on it, which of our area that includes main streets, course never came to be. It’s always

fun to see what people think the future will bring! However, David’s favorite cards are those that feature commercial activity and people doing things.

So what about the writing on the backs of the postcards? I think it would be fun to get a peek into what people were saying back then. David says most of the messages are functional, like, “I arrived last night, went to dinner, and saw a movie” or “I’m really enjoying myself and had a nice boat ride today.”

But there are a few that will make you chuckle, like, “My aunt is still disagreeable as always.” There were visitors who would purchase a bunch of postcards for someone, starting their note on the first card, and continuing it on subsequent cards. Perhaps the most intriguing ones are those written in code. How mysterious! I wonder what messages can be uncovered there?

But all this talk about postcards got me thinking. With the availability of text messaging and social media, will sending postcards become obsolete?

The racks of postcards around the Lakes Region, often featuring the M/S Mount Washington, a covered bridge, or a moose, say otherwise. Much like my mother, people still enjoy brightening someone’s mailbox with a handwritten

note. I know that I appreciate the time taken to select a postcard, come up with an interesting sentiment, and then mail it while on vacation. (Although 100 years ago, most postcards were deliverable overnight: my mother’s postcards of today tend to arrive after she’s returned home.) My father actually has a small postcard collection of his own. He works in New York City, and one building he finds fascinating, as many other people do, is the iconic Flatiron Building. At our town’s Labor Day Street Fair, with all its antiques on display, I remember him stopping at tables of postcards to look for new images of the Flatiron Building to add to his collection. “Each one is slightly different,” he would say, and David agrees. “It all depends on how and where the camera was set up,” says David.

For other “deltiologists” or postcard collectors out there, David recommends looking for sharp images and good postcard condition. The more detail the image has, the better!

The most common postcards are often the most worn, like those featuring scenes of Weirs Beach and steamships on the lake. The best postcards are known as “real photo” cards, because they were printed one by one from a photo negative. These cards are usually available in antiques shops.

David recommends starting small, by collecting scenes of your hometown or a favorite tourist spot. If you have any questions for David, you can email him at QDBarchive@metrocast.net.

David Bowers’ extensive post card collection is housed at the Wolfeboro Public Library on 259 South Main Street. To view the collection, call the library at 603-569-2428 to make an appointment. When you arrive, they will pull the collection out for you to peruse at your leisure. Thanks to David, we can all enjoy a wonderful look back through time.

“Over the Headwall: A Short History of Skiing Tuckerman’s Ravine” The Lake Winnipesaukee Museum, located on Rt. 3 in Weirs Beach, will present “Over the Headwall: A Short History of Skiing Tuckerman’s Ravine” on Wednesday, October 5 at 7 pm.

Perched on the southeastern side of Mt. Washington is Tuckerman’s Ravine, a glacial cirque, small by the standards of higher mountains but it has an outsized reputation in the ski world. Attracting notice when skiing was young for the depths of its snowfields formed when winter winds sweep volumes of snow off the alpine lawns of Mt. Washington and funnel great accumulations into this cirque, Tuckerman’s Ravine would become a springtime mecca to skiers seeking to extend the ski season, and in the process would become the birthplace of what is today called extreme skiing.

Jeff Leich has been the Executive Director of New England Ski Museum in Franconia, NH since 1997. Leich is

the editor of the Journal of the New England Ski Museum, and produces most of the exhibits that the museum changes on an annual basis. He is the author Over the Headwall: The Ski History of Tuckerman Ravine and Tales of the 10th: The Mountain Troops and American Skiing. He was awarded the H.H. “Bill” Whitney Award for outstanding contribution to alpine skiing in the state of New Hampshire in 2006, the Curatorial Award from the International Skiing History Association in 2007, and the Skade Award from the same group in 2012.

This presentation is free for Lake Winnipesaukee Historical Society members; there is a $5.00 fee for nonmembers, which goes to support Lake Winnipesaukee Historical Society’s ongoing renovations. The museum is located on Route 3 in Weirs Beach, next to Funspot. Please RSVP to 603366-5950.

The Art of Karel Hayes

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Photo by Leslie Foss-Gorey It takes a certain personality to be a children’s’ book illustrator and author.

Along with the ability to see the world through the eyes of a youngster, it helps to have a healthy dose of patience and perseverance.

“Patience and perseverance,” says Karel Hayes, a Center Harbor resident who is well known and beloved for the children’s books she illustrates, as well as those she has penned and illustrated.

Readers will likely recall seeing The Winter Visitors, The Summer Visitors and The Autumn Visitors with her byline and illustrating credits. She also has illustrated works by other authors, such as Wings in the Wind by Julia Walsh (Karel shares illustrating credits with her son, John Gorey); Little Loon

by Fran Hodgkins; The Mansion: An Old Winnipesaukee Mystery by Andy Opel with co-illustrations by Karel and John Gorey; The Weirs: A Winnipesaukee Adventure by Andy Opel with co-illustrations by Karel and John Gorey; The Witches: A Winnipesaukee Adventure by Andy Opel with co-illustrations by Karel and John Gorey; Who’s Been Here?

by Fran Hodgkins with illustrations by Karel Hayes and Time for the Fair by Mary Train with illustrations by Karel Hayes.

Karel’s latest project, which she also co-illustrated with her son, John Gorey, is called Santa’s Tatty Old Boots by Sherry Baldwin. It is a Christmas story full of charm…not only in its storyline, but also because of the bring-the-storyto-life illustrations.

The “patience and perseverance” motto that defines Karel’s life as an artist seems very fitting when you hear her story. “I am a New Englander, and I lived with my parents in Massachusetts until I was in sixth grade. We moved

After graduation, Karel did what many art majors do when starting out: she began to knock on doors to secure a job. “I moved to Colorado and got

a job at a newspaper doing graphics and illustration,” she recalls. Like many artists, she did whatever job was needed to be done at the newspaper, such as paste up and layout of pages; the chance to illustrate was the icing on the cake.

October 3, 2016

After a move to Seattle, she got a job with a magazine where she did illustrations, and supplemented her work by taking assignments at a temp agency. This allowed her to make a living, all the while doing her artwork/ illustrations on the side.

Karel met her husband when both were students at UNH and they eventually married and moved to Philadelphia, a city she speaks of with great fondness.

“I did a lot of freelance work while we lived in Philadelphia,” she recalls.

She loved the city due to its variety of museums and art galleries, and the culture that was everywhere.

This was also the place where she tapped into her desire to write and illustrate children’s books. “I kept trying to get my foot in the door with a publisher,” she recalls.

Upon moving to the Lakes Region, where the couple already had a summer home, she really honed in her efforts to gain experience and get work as an illustrator of children’s books.

She knew the market was fiercely competitive and that she would have to really market herself to be a success.

Again, her patience and perseverance came into play. When others might have given up, she continued to make contacts and became a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, where she made connections. By chance and perseverance, Karel sent a thank-you card to Down East Books in Maine; she firmly believes in following up and saying thank you for an interview or if someone takes the time to speak with her.

She says, “I began to send copies of artwork to publishers. Whenever one expressed interest in my work, I’d • Karel Hayes Continued on page 9

October 3, 2016 • Karel Hayes Continued from page 8 keep in touch with them by sending an illustrated postcard every three months.

By chance, one of these postcards with a picture of maple sugaring landed on the desk of an editor at Down East Books the same day as the manuscript for Time for the Fair.”

Karel was on her way as a children’s book illustrator. Her first book illustrations were for Time for the Fair in 2005, and then The Winter Visitors in 2007, which Karel wrote and illustrated.

“Most of the children’s books I write have very minimal copy,” she explains.

“I had an idea for a story about a family of bears that invade a cottage after the owners leave for the season. I think it came from the idea of my family having a summer place.”

Karel says anyone who opens up and closes a summer cottage or camp will be familiar with the fact that things seem to have moved when we return the next season. Something you might recall having put in a certain place before you left months ago will be someplace else when you return. She laughs as she says it gave her the idea for the bears having a grand time in someone’s summer cottage after it was closed up for the winter.

As an artist who is always thinking and observing, Karel adds that she keeps slips of paper in a drawer. She jots down ideas as she gets them and keeps them all in that drawer. One such slip of paper was where she jotted down “In the fall, the summer visitors will be going.”

PRE-BUY NOW AVAILABLE

Then, one autumn day, Karel and her husband decided to go sailing because it was a beautiful day. As she was at the helm of the sailboat on the lake, all those slips of paper suddenly fell into place in Karel’s mind and became a story about a family of bears that have a great time after entering a family’s closed-up-for-the-winter cottage!

Karel’s publisher loved the idea and with copy and illustrations telling the story, the book became a hit and won three awards. The NY Times Book Review called the subsequent Summer Visitors a “summer treasure” and Karel was thrilled.

Karel and her husband have a son, John, who is also an artist. He collaborates on book illustrations with his mother as his time allows, and Karel says his style and vision are incredibly helpful in putting together the sketches and layout for any given book they are working on.

As a seasoned children’s book author and illustrator, Karel says her work has gotten better over the years, but that she is also more accepting of herself and realizes there is always room for growth and change.

Karel painted a mural for the Carpenter School library in Wolfeboro, and she will be signing books at the school during their Fall Book Fair on November 16 from 3 to 5 pm.

Over the years, Karel also has worked as an illustrator for builders and architects. She created house renderings for brochures and to show clients what a house will look like when completed. This takes real skill on her part and is something she did

Love Fall? Love the Sandwich Fair

By Barbara Neville Wilson Photos from the collections of the Sandwich Historical Society and Sandwich Fair Association What are you doing Columbus Day weekend? “Don’t know,” you say? Then maybe you don’t love bloomin’ onions, foliage views from Ferris wheels, tractor pulls, 4-H fun, arts and crafts, giant pumpkins and seeing neighbors from near and far. “Don’t know,” you say? Maybe you don’t like canning contests, floral displays, sausage and peppers, antique cars, midway rides and homegrown parades. “Don’t know,” you say? Maybe you’re not from here, because a lot of us in the Lakes Region use “Columbus Day weekend” interchangeably with “Sandwich Fair.”

Since 1886, the Sandwich Fair (held this year from October 8 to 10) has been an October fixture on local calendars. And in 1921 its Fair Association voted for the event to coincide with the commemoration of Columbus Day forever. For three full days on Columbus Day weekend, fairgoers will glimpse the way life “once was,” and celebrate rural life today.

Grown from humble beginnings of agriculture exhibits and “fan-

cywork,” the Fair has become a highly anticipated tradition of fall, where life lessons are learned, hard work rewarded, and wedding vows exchanged—at least three times!

Fashions come and go, interests change, but always agricultural accomplishment, handcrafts, entertainment and food are the centers of attention.

The Fair has something for everyone. According to Rhea York of the Sandwich Fair Association, this

Now you can

Year-round!

• Monthly November through April

year’s Fair features the return of the oxen pull, pig handling contests, and demonstrations by a chainsaw carver. Kids mount 4-H displays and compete in scavenger hunts and pedal tractor pulls. Avoiding any outcry of sexism, Fair organizers have scheduled not only a Women’s Skillet Toss, but a Gentlemen’s Keg Toss, too. And age is never a barrier: 101 year-old Edna Bickford threw out the very first skillet of the first ever Skillet Toss in 2010.

American agricultural fairs got their start when Elkanah Watson organized the first in Pittsfield, Massachusetts in 1807. By the time Abraham Lincoln was campaigning for president in 1859, they had become well-established, and he saw in them opportunity for the nation to

reach higher achievement through competition, to “stimulate…discovery and invention into extraordinary activity.” Of singular importance, though, the future President said, “Agricultural Fairs…bring us together, and thereby make us better acquainted, and better friends than we otherwise would be,” and it is that aspect that shines through when one studies the history of the Sandwich Fair.

According to Joan Cook’s Sandwich Fair Through the Years 1886-2010, the first Fair was organized in 1886 by a casual group of farmers and consisted of exhibits at the Grand Army of the Revolution and Masonic Halls, and displays of cattle in barnyards throughout town. For a first effort, it was a grand success: “184 team of oxen from Sandwich alone” participated.

That’s a whole lot of oxen!

Although the Fair was held sporadically at first, by 1915, the Mt. Israel Grange took the reins and determined the Fair would be an annual event called the “Town and Grange Fair.” A pivotal decision was also made that year: to invest all profits toward the next year’s Fair. That decision is, perhaps, responsible for the long-term stability of the Fair and the attendant boost it has given the town.

By 1925, the Sandwich Fair Association (SFA) had accumulated funds to buy permanent grounds for the Fair behind the Wentworth Library, and over the years more land was acquired through its efforts and the Quimby Trust. Much

October 3, 2016 of the fairgrounds and adjoining recreation land in use now was “unsightly swamp” when purchased. Buildings, roads, stages, restrooms and pavilions have been built through the years and are often named for people who have been long-involved with the Fair: the Peaslee, Hodge, and Burrows Buildings are just some examples, and make reference to an accumulated 50 years of service as Fair Association Presidents.

In addition, the SFA has supported the town by giving use of the fairgrounds and buildings at no or low cost for town activities, and it has actually provided funds to the town in times of need, such as lending an interest-free $5,000 to the town for immediate use after a devastating fire in Depression-era 1934, an amount equivalent to nearly $90,000 today. In 1937, the Fair Association gave the town money enough to buy the town’s first motorized fire engine, and in 1941, it voted funds to renovate the town’s treasured Concord Coach, the same coach seen every year since in the Sunday Parade.

No amount of facts and figures, and especially not a short article like this, can bring to life the joy of Sandwich Fair, a joy unbound by years. Joan Cook remembers that as a child in the 1940s, “the fair ranked right up there with Christmas and the final day of school before summer vacation.” Seventy years lat-

It’s Pumpkin Time at Wolfeboro Museums!

A small, picturesque town with approximately 6,000 residents, Wolfeboro is one of the anchor points on the Experience New Hampshire Heritage Trail with the New Hampshire Boat Museum, Wright Museum of WWII and The Libby Museum.

The Libby Museum, the Wright Museum and NH Boat Museum are participating in the Painted Pumpkin Patch Contest on Saturday, October 9.

Each museum will provide staff and materials to paint and decorate donated pumpkins to anyone who has registered to participate.

“It’s a fun event and opens up the entire town to visitors and locals alike,” said Michael Culver, president of The Trail and executive director of the Wright Museum. “It should be a lot of fun.”

Several exhibits also remain with the Wright Museum commemorating the 75th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor with a special photography exhibit entitled ‘Infamy: December 7, 1941.’ Open through October 24, the exhibit features 66 powerful and gripping photos that were taken on the scene, during and after the attack.

At the New Hampshire Boat Museum, three exhibits remain open through its last day on Columbus Day. Its featured exhibit, ‘We’ve Got You Covered: Art From MotorBoating Magazine Covers 1914-1935,’ looks back at a time when magazine covers were true works of art. The exhibit is on loan from the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton, New York.

Another exhibit, ‘The Seduction of Speed: Ice Boating’ will look at the lure of iceboats. The exhibit will feature the Boat Museum’s newly restored 1920s ice boat along with historic photos, video footage, and other ice boating memorabilia.

The third exhibit, ‘McDuff Motors: A Local Enterprise,’ will look at the development of the McDuff Motor Company in Lakeport during the early part of the 1900s.

Expressing excitement at the fall season in Wolfeboro following an historically strong tourist season, Culver said Wolfeboro offers “a tremendous amount of diverse recreational opportunities. We have professional music venues, a strong performing and visual arts scene and

Bearcamp Valley Garden Club to Host Terrestrial Invasive Species Talk The words Japanese knotweed and Oriental bittersweet are becoming all too common in New Hampshire.

Slowly but surely, terrestrial invasive species like these, among many others, are choking out all that is near and dear to us. Not only are they hard to identify, grow rapidly, and removal is next to impossible, but these plants are also extremely taxing on the local environment.

Join the Squam Lakes Association (SLA) on Tuesday, October 4 from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm to learn how to identify these plants, how to remove them and how to make sure they stay removed. SLA member and master

Bridgewater and Newfound Lake

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper

Travel north from the small town of Bristol on Route 3-A, and you’ll pass through Bridgewater, a town so tiny you would not see it but for the town marker signs. Indeed, at one time Bridgewater was part of New Chester, later to be renamed Bristol.

Long before white men settled in

the wilderness around Newfound Lake, Native Americans lived on the land. According to Newfound Lake,

by Charles Greenwood, before the lake was named Newfound, it was called Baker’s Pond or New Found pond. After the granting of the • Yesteryear Continued on page 27

township of New Chester, the lake was called New Chester Pond for many years.

The land was fertile and hunting and fishing plentiful. When the first settlers ventured into what would later be the town of Bridgewater in the 1750s, they discovered a pastoral, beautiful area.

The group secured a tract of land containing over 20,000 acres.

That property, located west of the Pemigewasset River, became New Chester, later divided into the towns of Bridgewater, Hill and Bristol.

It would, however, be years before anyone settled in the Bridgewater region. As with much of central and northern New Hampshire, travel was abandoned during the French and Indian War. War parties could attack those who ventured from established towns, and so settlement of the Newfound Lake area came to a halt.

In the late 1760s, the war had ended. Settlers returned to the New Chester area, and were the first to settle permanently there. Today summer homes and cottages dot the landscape of Bridgewater, but the early men likely saw forest when they began to build.

It remained a sparsely settled area for many years. Perhaps it was because of its remote location.

Eventually that began to change.

By the late 1760s a gristmill was started which eventually enticed more people to make land claims.

As the population grew, town government was established and officials were elected. Not long after, taxes came into being.

Bridgewater may seem like a small community, but the actual amount of land comprising the town is quite large. Because homesteads were spread out and travel difficult,

the notion of dividing the town into smaller towns arose.

In the 1780s the New Hampshire legislature approved a plan to divide the town land and population. The towns of Bridgewater and New Chester were created. In 1819 a third town, Bristol, was formed from some of Bridgewater’s land.

Bridgewater continued to grow, and when the Victorian era of grand vacations for the wealthy became fashionable, the town, with its lake proximity, was swept up in that movement.

In 1880, the first summer boarding house was built in Bridgewater near Newfound Lake. Originally called Lake View House, the structure was grand in size for its day. Three stories high, with a dining room, dance hall and 75 bedrooms all comfortably furnished, the Lake View House was reminiscent of the big hotels in the White Mountains at that time.

More businesses opened in Bridgewater in the late1800s and early 1900s. According to History of the Town of Bristol by Richard W. Musgrove, there was once a lead and silver mine in the area. This would have likely provided some jobs for locals.

During the early 1900s, the eastern side of Newfound Lake in Bridgewater became known as “Cottage City.” Owned mostly by professional and local businessmen, these homes were at the time the largest grouping of private cottages in the area.

One farm in the Bridgewater area was bought by millionaire E. P. Lindsey of Boston. Refurbished from top to bottom, the farm soon had a cottage for the hired help and a modernized barn, to name but a few improvements. Many renovations also were made to the brick farmhouse. Lindsey hailed from the Newfound area, and after he made

his fortune, he came to Bridgewater and bought the property. His wife outlived him, and when she died in the 1930s the estate was quite valuable.

Some summer residents loved the area so much that they put pen to paper to describe the Bridgewater/ Bristol area. One such writer was Eliza Nelson Blair, a Bridgewater summer boarder. Her book told of the residents and life around Newfound Lake in the early 1800s.

Because the Newfound Lake area was a great spot for fishing, a hatchery was started at the foot of the lake. The state of New Hampshire soon after closed this hatchery and built a bigger structure for fish hatching in Bridgewater on a brook near the shore of the lake.

The Bridgewater hatchery was near spawning beds, and was a great aid to fishermen.

Visit Bridgewater today and it may seem like a hamlet. During the winter, the summer homes, cottages and boys and girls camps are shut down. Year-round residents travel to nearby Bristol or Plymouth for shopping and employment. Even during the summer when vacationers flock to Newfound Lake, there is something of the past lingering in Bridgewater. Civilization may have moved in, but in many ways the beauty, the peace and love of the land are as evident in Bridgewater as they were when the Native American called this place home over 200 years ago.

New Collection of Paintings at the Art Place “Food for Thought” is the theme of Jan Helling Croteau’s show of new work at The Art Place on North Main Street in Wolfeboro starting October 8 with an opening from 5 to 7 pm. Her still-life canvases are a celebration of the season and full of energy; her works combine realism with abstract techniques in a new collection of paintings.

This collection reflects Croteau’s love, not only of art, but gardening as well. “I love to use the garden as my main inspiration this time of year, so I use tomatoes, pumpkins, red chili peppers and Macintosh apples as models for my studio

work. It’s exciting to grow the models and then to paint them. I feel deeply connected to every aspect of the creative process,” she says.

Croteau is prolific, not only as a painter but as a writer as well.

In 2015 she started ArtWord, a daily email of art and essays sent to a growing list of subscribers.

Combining her love of writing with painting, she has found the perfect blend. “For years I thought I had to choose between being a writer or a painter. Then I started ArtWord, quite by accident, and I was surprised by how it grew.”
