Laconia Historical, if you haven’t already, browse through the History Forum. McDude and a few others have done a wonderful job of compiling some interesting stuff for us to enjoy. Also, take a look over in PhotoPost, there is a treasure trove of postcards and historical photographs. You can do a search on Laconia once in the Historical Photograph category.

I hope that you have read The Gunstock Parish by Adair D. Mulligan. I know it is A History of Gilford, New Hampshire, but it is a must read! It covers a good deal of Laconia’s history, because as you know, Laconia was part of the Gunstock Parish. For those interested in the history of our great lake, this book is a must have. It starts at the very beginning and gives wonderful detail of how this area evolved.
