Default What a find!

Just Sold:
Just went through the slide show. Fascinating. I know nothing about Moultonboro so it's all new to me! Plan on dropping them an e-mail to congratulate them for a job well done. Thanks! McD.
Amazed that the Long Island Inn still stands .... and the Greenies Castle was pretty cool too.

Hi Just Sold, thanks so much for the link. It was really interesting. I knew much of the info but really enjoyed the side by side links McDude posted too. I have spent over 50 summers in Moultonborough, all of them off of Shakerjerry road. My mom's family have summered lakeside since the 1920's and in the late 40's purchased an older lake camp and eight acres that was sold in the 70's. Since then my dad had purchased a place and we take our kids up the lake every summer. I'm going to try to post a photo of me in 1953 at the lake with Dad's parents that were visiting great aunt annie's place. We're on the dock overlooking the Ossippees.

oh so you like that high tech diving board. LOL, don't ask me how it worked. It probably was my dad or uncle that built it. My uncle used to build his own kit boats and then drop us all off in the middle of the lake to learn how to swim. And my dad grew up in the depression with a family that had very little so used a lot of ingenuity at times. We learned quite a bit at the lake by their antics.

Lin, I am glad that you enjoyed the link. It is fun finding out about the lake and its surrounding communities.

I enjoyed your photo too. I first came to the lake in the mid 50's at Melvin Village myself but my dad started coming here to the "Y" camp on Bear Island in the late 20's and early 30's.

The slide show is fantastic! Same with Lin's photo. Very cool stuff.
I just realized this photo I found at the Library of Congress must be Ebanezer Hornes house. (Slide # 17)

LIN,
I enjoyed your picture, where off Shaker Jerry Road was it taken? My family has a cottage off Shaker Jerry Road and the background view looks quite similar

Hi Kathy, we always called the road Shakerjerry all the way in although in the last 20 years or so it's been called Wentworth shores. The place was just north of Ganzy in a shallow wide cove. The Arey family lived on a knoll just to the south of us as we used their well water till my family was able to dig their own well. At the time there were only several cabins to the north of us. Not that far from the stream that runs out of Ledgy pond. I just got a new scanner, so I'll have to see if I can borrow mom's photo albums and scan some old photos of the great times we had at the lake.

LIN,
I would love to see more of your pictures.
We are just down the shore from where you described, in fact I often walk down the Wentworth Shores road.

back in February I promised I'd scan some of my mom's photo albums of the lake. Well I've been adding some to the Historic photos section this morning and as soon as they are approved they should be appearing. If I've attached the right photo here this is the original rafting on the lake. I'm on the left.

Rattlesnake Guy and I went by a few weeks ago. The building is looking a bit tired. Wishing now that I took some pictures.

Unfortunately the above links no longer work.

Default Long Island Inn

Hollis Austin is speaking about his family's Inn at the Moultonborough Library, an encore presentation of his Historical society talk this summer and it is very interesting. They are in the process of renovating the Inn. Check the library for day and time.

Thumbs up Thanks Rattlesnake Gal

Appreciate the posting, I'm computer challenged and would have taken all day to get it on the forum. Again this lecture was interesting and well attended at Historical Society, hope the Heritage Commission:has the same turnout.

I was looking through Rattlesnake Gal's historic pictures and ran across this one that had a little different spelling of the Lake. Was the Lake called Lake Winnepisseogee at one time?

Default "Winni"

I heard there were many spellings and finally it was standardized to Winnipesaukee in the 30's.

more on the HISTORY OF LONG ISLAND

The Laconia Daily Sun reported today that the Long Island House has been placed on the National Register of Historical Places.

Quote:
There were two hostelries on Long Island: The Browns’ Long Island Inn was established in 1874. It was very successfully operated by George K. Brown, son of John and Catherine, and later by their son, Harry. Their house, built in 1830, is still standing, near the entrance gates of Windermere. From this Inn, the slope of the shore of the Lake was cleared and an avenue of trees led down to the large wharf. It was, at this time, a great accommodation that mail was delivered by boat five time a day. Such famous steamers as The Lady of the Lake and the first Mount Washington on their trips around the Lake, bring, in addition to the mail, provisions, freight, and passengers.

Does anyone know any more history of the second hotel on Long Island? I know it was called the Island Home or Blake's Hotel and could accommodate 50 guests. It was near the high ground of Long Island and not far from the Roxmont site. It burned in 1962.
I'm interested because our property is in this area, in fact, we have the Lamprey cemetary on our land. (Lamprey was an owner of the Island Home hotel).
Anything more on this interesting history would be appreciated.
