Winnipesaukee before the dam
With the lake taking on its fall level, some interesting rock formations are starting to show. Maybe it was the insights brought on by happy hour, but we saw a "native" American fire ring sticking out of the water, and started talking about what the lake must have been like before the dam was built. I don't recall the date, but it was sometime in the late 1800s I think, the water level was raised over 10 feet by the dam at Lakeport. That is a huge change! We were wondering who lived here before the dam? Were they displaced? Where there buildings? Was there any controversy about the dam? Its a chapter in the history of the lake that I don't recall seeing much information about, except that it happened. Any historians out there with more details?
