Up the road a little ways from the Burleigh Farm on the west side of Squam Lake is another centuries-old farm that still is an operating entity. This is known as the True Farm, located at the southeastern base of Webster Mt of the Squam Range. Following is an excerpt from a recent publication of the Squam Lakes Association, reporting on an event held in 2003 at the True Farm: True Farm in Holderness was originally built before the American Revolution as an inn. For many years it was just one of many farms dotting the Squam Range hillside. Becoming a gentleman's farm in 1900, the farm looks much the way it did so long ago, with lovely gardens, strutting peacocks, and grazing horses in fields overlooking Squam Lake. ..... It typifies many of the area's surviving farms.
