  • Guide to Crawford Notch State Park
    Guide to Crawford Notch State Park On US Route 302 Harts Location, NH (12 miles NW of Bartlett) This 5,775 acre park provides access to numerous hiking trails, waterfalls, fishing, wildlife viewing, and spectacular mountain views. Crawford Notch State Park is rich in history with the famous Willey House. There are picnicking areas, parking for hiking, as well as scenic pull-offs and a visitor information center. Park History Discovery: In 1771 a Lancaster hunter, Timothy Nash, discovered what is now called Crawford Notch, while tracking a moose over Cherry Mountain. He noticed a gap in the distant mountains to the south and realized it was probably the route through the mountains mentioned in Native American lore. Packed with provisions, he worked his way through the notch and on to Portsmouth to tell Governor John Wentworth of his discovery. Doubtful a road could be built through the mountains, the governor made him a deal. If Nash could get a horse through from Lancaster he would grant him a large parcel of land at the head of the notch, with the condition he build a road to it from the east. Nash and his friend Benjamin Sawyer managed to trek through the notch with a very mellow farm horse, that at times, they were required to lower over boulders with ropes. The deal with the governor was kept and the road, at first not much more than a trail, was opened in 1775. Settlement: The Crawford family, the first permanent settlers in the area, exerted such a great influence on the development of the notch that the Great Notch came to be called Crawford Notch.

  • Scenic Areas of the White Mountain National Forest
    Scenic Areas of the White Mountain National Forest “Scenic Areas are places of outstanding or unique beauty that require special management to preserve their qualities. This type area will be maintained as nearly as possible in an undisturbed condition.” Secretary of Agriculture Rules and Regulations from 1960. Scenery in the Era of Tourism, Railroads and Logging: 1880-1911 Few people know much about the designation of scenic areas on the White Mountain National Forest (WMNF). Even fewer can identify all ten designated scenic areas even though they may have visited them or saw the boundaries marked on trail maps. The purpose of this article is to tell the fascinating story of designated scenic areas and to encourage the reader to visit and appreciate these special areas. Scenery played an important role in the early tourist history of the White Mountains. Artists and vacationers came in large numbers to enjoy the majestic views, clear streams and green forests starting in the 1880’s as the passenger railroads reached the mountains. The White Mountain School of Art played an important role in heralding the beauty of these mountains. The coming of the railroads brought more than tourists and artists. It brought the lumber barons who had previously skipped the White Mountain forests because of their inaccessibility. Most White Mountain rivers were unsuitable for driving logs but the technological advances of the steam engine made railroad logging practical. The huge demand for lumber for a growing America attracted investment and large-scale removal of the lush mountainsides covered with spruce forests. New Hampshire led the nation in spruce production for the decade of 1890-1900 with production peaking in 1907.

Our Vision: Citizens of all ages can say they would rather live here than anywhere else Executive Summary The Mount Washington Valley of New Hampshire is a culturally and historically rich, natural region for designation as an Age-Friendly Community. With its rapidly aging population, many of whom are lifelong outdoor enthusiasts, its plentiful service organizations, and talented citizenry, we have the opportunity to rapidly build a dynamic Age-Friendly Community that will make needed improvements while raising awareness of what an Age-Friendly Community truly feels like.
