Default in the days.

The family cabin on Terrace Hill Road was built in 1892. My grandfather remembered traveling by horse and buggy from Laconia. It was a full day's trip. You would have to travel thru Gilford Vilage. He remember Rte 11 as being a dirt road with a number of farms on the way.

In the 30's,40's and into the 50's, my folks use to walk the railroad track to Lake Shore Park to attend the Big band dances at the Pavilion. There they would meet tenants from the Greystone Farm. One family, The Donnallies love the area so much they bought land on Terrace Hill Road and built a summer cabin, eventually set up their own cabin colony for rent.

They were good times.
