Hidden History of Lake Winnipesaukee with Glenn Knoblock

Wednesday, August 96:30—7:30 PMProgram Meeting Room

Join Glenn Knoblock as he shares "The Hidden History of Lake Winnipesaukee." From the time of the earliest Native Americans, New Hampshire’s Lake Winnipesaukee has experienced a rich yet often forgotten history.

 Join Glenn as he reveals some of the many aspects of this history, including the real story about “America’s Oldest Summer Resort” in Wolfeboro, the religious sect on Gilford’s Governors Island who thought the world was ending, Massachusetts’ early efforts to claim New Hampshire territory as their own, the site of the country’s first college sports rivalry in Center Harbor, the African American community that once existed in Gilmanton, and the only airport of its kind in the entire country in Alton. Whether you live in the area, are a visitor from elsewhere in the Granite State, or are a summer resident or tourist, these fascinating and enlightening bits of history will change forever how you view New Hampshire’s “Big Lake”.
