  • Chapter Iv History and Culture

    Chapter Iv History and Culture

    HISTORY AND CULTURE PAGE IV-1 CHAPTER IV HISTORY AND CULTURE INTRODUCTION Bradford has a long and rich history, which is preserved today in the many historic and cultural resources still existing within the Town. These historic, cultural and architectural treasures reflect the persons and events which help to define us as a cultural group. They provide a link to the past, as well as important insights to our present condition, and should be used as a guide to the future. As a community grows and develops, the gradual erosion of its historical character can happen with the accumulation of incremental changes to buildings and places. However, it is evident from the Community Survey that historical preservation is a very important issue to the residents of Bradford. Many residents indicated that they support requiring new construction within the Town to keep with the historic character of Bradford, and 71% of respondents feel that the Town should have aesthetic requirements of commercial development in order to maintain the traditional “Main Street” feel that is treasured in Bradford. The purpose of this chapter is to highlight local historic and cultural resources, describe why they are significant, and provide the resources, recommendations, and tools to plan for the preservation, protection, and enhancement of those resources. OBJECTIVES AND RECOMMENDATIONS 1. To appropriately guide future Town development by identifying historic sites and resources that are integral to the community and character of Bradford. a. Require that developers contact the NH Division of Historical Resources to ascertain if any known archeological sites are within the vicinity of new development.

    Mike Ware Ridge Trail

    Trail Name: Ridge Trail Gilford NH Trail Description: Mike Ware Ridge Trail – Description This white-blazed trail, a segment of Belknap Range Trail, runs from the main parking lot at Gunstock Mountain Resort to the summit of Mt. Rowe, then continues along the ridge to the summit of Gunstock Mtn. A major relocation in 2013 moved the upper part of the trail off the Gunstock ski slopes and into the woods. The Ridge Trail (blazed white) starts 100 yards north of the Gunstock main lodge, just to the right of the Adaptive Ski Center. It runs up an access road for 0.25 mi., turns left, (marked by a white arrow and cell phone tower sign), and joins the old Try-Me Ski Trail. It takes a turn to the right at 0.3 mi., marked by another white arrow. The trail ascends steeply to reach the communications tower at 0.8 mi. Here the trail traverses the summit of Mount Rowe (elev. 1,690 ft.) and its ridge, with great views of Gunstock Ski Area and Lake Winnipesaukee. There is an Earth Scope Plate Boundary Observation/GPS Station at the top of this ridge, run by UNAVCO, NASA and NSF. The Ridge Trail continues on the rocky ridge from this point and at 1.2 mi. descends straight (marked with a white-blazed post). On the right, the Mt. Rowe Trail (blazed blue) descends to the Gilford Elementary School in Gilford Village. In 20 yds. down the Mt. Rowe Trail, the North Spur Trail (blazed orange) leaves left to traverse across the ridge to a junction with the Benjamin Weeks Trail (blazed purple).
