Laconia Passenger Station

The Laconia Passenger Station is a historic railroad station at 9-23 Veterans Square in downtown Laconia, New Hampshire. It was built in 1892 for the Boston and Maine (B&M) Railroad and is a prominent regional example of Richardsonian Romanesque style architecture. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The building now houses a variety of commercial businesses. Description and history The former Laconia Passenger Station is located on the north side of downtown Laconia, occupying an irregular block formed by North Main Street, Veterans Square, Pleasant Street, and New Salem Street. It is set at an angle to North Main Street, from which it is separated by the grassy area of Veterans Square, and faces roughly southeast. It is a long and roughly rectangular structure, with its northwest side facing where the tracks of the B&M formerly ran. It is built out of granite and red sandstone, and has a central area, the former waiting room, that is 2-1/2 stories in height, with a pyramidal roof. That area is flanked by single-story sections with tall hip roofs, and its front is dominated by a porte-cochère with large rounded arches. The waiting room area features a large sandstone fireplace, and has a floor covered in patterned tile. The station was built in 1892 to a design by New York City architect Bradford Gilbert. It was built for the Boston, Concord, and Montreal Railroad, which was acquired three years later by the Boston & Maine. The size and scale of the station were due in part to the activism of Charles Busiel, a local businessman who was later governor of New Hampshire. It is one of the only 19th-century stations of this scale and architectural sophistication to survive in the state. The station served the railroad until 1965, with portions of it dedicated to local police and court functions as early as 1963. The building has since been repurposed for commercial uses.

Ladd-Gilman House

The Ladd-Gilman House, also known as Cincinnati Memorial Hall, is a historic house at 1 Governors Lane in Exeter, New Hampshire, United States. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is designated a National Historic Landmark. History The home was built about 1721 by Nathaniel Ladd as one of the state's first brick houses, and was subsequently clapboarded three decades later. The home was purchased in 1747 by Daniel Gilman, a prominent Exeter merchant. It served as the state treasury during the American Revolutionary War when two members of the Gilman family, Col. Nicholas Gilman, and his son John Taylor Gilman, later the state's governor, served as treasurers of the state. Also born in the house was Founding Father Nicholas Gilman, Jr., a signer of the United States Constitution and U.S. senator from New Hampshire. The Ladd-Gilman House was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1973, principally for its association with Nicholas Gilman, Jr. It has been maintained since 1902 by the Society of the Cincinnati, in which organization the Gilman family took a prominent role. In 1985, a Dunlap Broadside was discovered in the home's attic. The document is one of the first published copies of the Declaration of Independence, printed on the night of July 4, 1776. The Ladd-Gilman House and its grounds are now part of the American Independence Museum, which opened in 1991. The noted Dunlap Broadside is the centerpiece of the museum’s collection. Description and construction history The house is a rambling frame structure, consisting of a main block and a series of additions. The main block was originally built as a two-story brick structure. After Daniel Gilman purchased the house in 1747, it was extensively altered by Col. Nathaniel Gilman, his son. He removed the wall separating the two rooms on the right side, and built the two-bay addition beside it, knocking down the original house wall on that side, and then clapboarding the rest of the house to match the new work. A further addition, originally designed as a caretaker's residence, was added after the Society of the Cincinnati acquired the house in 1902. The interior portions of the main house feature original woodwork, including paneling, deep window seats, and fluted pilasters.

Lake Waukewan

Lake Waukewan is a 928-acre (3.76 km2) water body located in Belknap County in the Lakes Region of central New Hampshire, United States, in the towns of Meredith and New Hampton. The town of Center Harbor occupies part of the lake's northern shoreline. The lake is classified as a cold- and warmwater fishery, with observed species including rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, chain pickerel, horned pout, and white perch. It supplies drinking water for the town of Meredith from an inlet near the south end of the lake. The water level is controlled by the Dam Bureau of the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services. As of 2013, it is maintained at 540.0 feet (164.6 m) above sea level in the summer, and 538.5 feet (164.1 m) the rest of the year. Water from Lake Waukewan flows into Lake Winnipesaukee, with a 40-foot (12 m) drop in elevation. The water rights to the natural Measly Pond Brook (a.k.a. Corliss Brook) was purchased by John Jenness in 1795, and used to power a gristmill and sawmill in Meredith Village, though it was not the best local waterpower source. John Bond Swasey redirected the flow into a 600-foot canal and consolidated waterfall (construction 1816-1818) which greatly improved the amount of waterpower available, allowing further industrialization of the village.

Ledyard Bridge

The Ledyard Bridge crosses the Connecticut River to connect Hanover, New Hampshire to Norwich, Vermont. It is the third bridge at this crossing to bear the name of the adventurer John Ledyard. History The first "Ledyard Free Bridge" was a covered bridge built in 1859 that was the first bridge across the Connecticut not to charge a toll. (It was the latest of several bridges at this site that went back to the late 18th century.) The bridge was named after Ledyard in 1859 because its eastern abutment was near the site of a tree that Ledyard felled during 1773 in order to make the dugout canoe in which he left Dartmouth College to continue his world travels. The bridge now standing was built between 1998 and 2000 by the New Hampshire Department of Transportation. At each end it displays a pair of "bridge balls," the controversial Classical ornaments cast in concrete that refer to the gateway to Tuck Drive nearby on the Hanover shore. They are the product of a Concord architect brought in by NHDOT to infuse some extra aesthetic appeal into the design of the bridge. The Ledyard Bridge carries the designation of New Hampshire Route 10A and Vermont Route 10A, a short state highway linking U.S. Route 5 and Interstate 91 on the Vermont side with New Hampshire Route 10 on the New Hampshire side. The Appalachian Trail uses the pedestrian walkway to cross the river. Border location Although the border between New Hampshire and Vermont was set at the Vermont shore in 1933, the bridge's monument to that border rests near the middle of the crossing.

Locke Lake

Locke Lake is a 149-acre (60 ha) lake in the town of Barnstead, Belknap County, New Hampshire, United States. It is part of the Merrimack River watershed. The lake is surrounded by the Locke Lake Colony residential development, and there is no public access to the lake. Geography Locke Lake lies within central New Hampshire's Lakes Region. The lake has a surface area of approximately 149 acres (60 ha) and an elevation of about 640 ft (200 m) above sea level. The lake receives inflow from Halfmoon Lake and drains through its outlet into Webster Stream, a south-flowing tributary of the Suncook River, which ultimately flows into the Merrimack River. Hydrology Locke Lake is a relatively shallow lake with a maximum depth of approximately 3 m (9.8 ft) and a watershed area of roughly 2,039 acres (825 ha). Because of its shallow depth and watershed characteristics, Locke Lake has been the subject of water-quality monitoring and nutrient studies conducted by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services. History Locke Lake was created during the mid-20th century as part of the development of the surrounding residential area in Barnstead. Residential development around the lake began in the 1960s when the surrounding land was subdivided for housing. Ecology Locke Lake has been monitored for water quality and aquatic vegetation as part of environmental management programs conducted by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services and local authorities. The lake supports a warmwater fish community typical of small lakes in central New Hampshire, including sport fish such as largemouth bass. Recreation Locke Lake is used for recreational activities including swimming, fishing, and small watercraft such as kayaks and canoes. Access to the lake is restricted because much of the shoreline is privately owned and associated with the surrounding residential development.

The Pemigewasset in turn flows south to the Merrimack River, which reaches the Atlantic Ocean at Newburyport, Massachusetts. Lonesome Lake is part of Franconia Notch State Park. The Appalachian Trail passes the lake at its outlet. Additional hiking trails travel north to Cannon Mountain. The lake is classified as a coldwater fishery and contains brook trout. The forest includes beech, maple, and birch trees, as well as moss and lichen. See also List of lakes in New Hampshire References
Loon Mountain Ski Resort

Loon Mountain Ski Resort is a ski resort in Lincoln, Grafton County, New Hampshire, United States. It is located on Loon Mountain and sits within the White Mountain National Forest. Its vertical drop of 2,190 feet (670 m) is the eighth largest in New England and has three peaks. History The history of Loon Mountain Ski Resort can be traced back to former governor and New Hampshire native Sherman Adams. Adams spent much of his time growing up in the town of Lincoln, New Hampshire, and attended nearby Dartmouth College. After departing from his position of Chief of Staff in Eisenhower's cabinet, Adams proclaimed he went off "to operate a ski lodge" in 1958. Following his departure from Washington D.C, he founded Loon Mountain Corporation, which later contributed to the construction of Loon Mountain in the fall of 1965. Loon Mountain officially opened in December 1966 with 12 trails over 80 acres. The terrain was served by a 4-passenger gondola and two Hall double chairlifts. A hotel was built the following year, and third double chairlift serving new advanced terrain was built in 1968. More expansions followed over the next two decades. West Basin debuted in 1978, featuring a new base area, a dedicated beginner area, and another double chairlift. In 1984, the North Peak area was completed, featuring a CTEC triple and another lodge, and increasing Loon's vertical to 2,100 feet. From the late 1980s to the early 90s, Loon began pursuing an expansion to the west. While the United States Forest Service approved the plan in 1993, the expansion was halted after two lawsuits were filed by the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit based on potential environmental impacts. These were not settled until 2001. A scaled-down proposal was approved and finally completed in 2007 as the South Peak complex. It now features a high-speed quad and 7 trails. As of 2022, the location has 73 trails and 13 chairlifts. In of 2024, improvements were made to snowmaking technology, including the addition of 100 new semi-automated snowmaking hydrants. Also added was the Kancamagus 8, an eight-seat D-Line Doppelmayr chair. This eight seat chair is noted as "a first-of-its-kind lift for New England". Ownership History Loon Mountain was acquired by Booth Creek Ski Holdings in 1997. Booth Creek sold Loon Mountain to CNL Lifestyle in 2006, but continued to operate the resort. On September 19, 2007, Boyne Resorts, a Michigan-based resort company, announced it had acquired the lease to operate Loon from Booth Creek. It also increased the number of snow guns by 170 to a total of 600, at a total cost of $1.4 million. Loon Mountain was among several resorts sold by CNL to Och-Ziff Capital Management in 2016. Boyne purchased the ski area in March 2018 and has been operating it since. Gallery References External links Loon Mountain Ski Resort - Official site
The Mall at Rockingham Park

The Mall at Rockingham Park is a shopping mall in the town of Salem, New Hampshire, about 30 miles (48 km) north of Boston. It is the largest shopping mall in the state of New Hampshire, with 1,024,171 square feet (95,148.6 m2) of floor space. The mall is adjacent to Interstate 93 and the former Rockingham Park race track in Salem, and was the state's third shopping mall to be built. The mall is managed by Simon Property Group, which owns a 28.2% interest. As of March 2015, the mall was Simon's highest grossing center, with annual sales of $2,105 per square foot. History The Mall at Rockingham Park opened in August 1991 with three anchors - Filene's, JC Penney and Sears. A fourth anchor, Jordan Marsh, opened in 1994. All Jordan Marsh stores converted to Macy's in 1996. The Mall at Rockingham Park is located close to the Massachusetts state line. In 2006, the existing Macy's anchor store (formerly Jordan Marsh) closed, and the Filene's anchor store was converted to Macy's. In 2012, Lord & Taylor renovated and converted the vacant Macy's/Jordan Marsh anchor, opening its only New Hampshire store in March 2012. In October 2015, Dick's Sporting Goods opened on the second floor of Sears, as part of a deal with the company, while Sears consolidated on the first floor. The Sears anchor store closed in 2018. A Cinemark Theatres complex opened in 2020 near the site of the original Sears Auto Center, which is separate from the rest of the mall. All Lord & Taylor stores closed permanently in August 2020, as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic. On July 9, 2025, Casino Salem opened in the former Lord & Taylor building. One week into its operation, Churchill Downs bought the casino and became the majority owner. In 2026, Churchill Downs announced they would be investing approximately $180 million to $200 million in a facelift of the casino building. Churchill Downs also announced that Casino Salem would be renamed to the Rockingham Grand Casino. Renovation work is expected to be finished by mid-2027.
