I'm looking for a Map print of the lake that's suitable for framing. I've seen the 1911 Map for sale at the historical society but am not really sold on it. Can anyone recommend others they've seen? Thanks in advance.

Check out "The Old Print Barn" on Winona Rd in Meredith. We bought a framed copy of an old map there some year's back. Can't remember the year, but it was an older one. I have the 1903 Boston & Maine railroad map in my office -- it unfortunately has Mink Island mis-labeled as Birch Island. I like the colors though. The print shop in Wolfboro also has copies of it and various other lake maps. And finally, Oglethorpe in Meredith has framed maps that are more "art" than true maps but are nice looking depending on what your after.

I have to agree with Mink Islander. THE ART PLACE (http://www.theartplace.biz/index.html) in Wolfeboro is wonderful....I have spent way too much money there!

The Art Place looks nice but I'm in Meredith and probably won't have a chance to get over there.

Thanks for the reminder -- I found a pristine 1949 navigation chart rolled up in a closet at our place, and brought it home to have it properly mounted and framed. Gotta get to that. I'll post a photo once it's done.
