Silver Lake (Hollis, New Hampshire)

Silver Lake, voormalig bekend als Long Pond, is een klein meer in de buurt van Hollis, New Hampshire. Het meer was oorspronkelijk omringd door verschillende vakantiewoningen en zomerkampen. Tegenwoordig zijn veel van de gebouwen omgebouwd als normale woningen. Silver Lake State Park bezit het noordelijke eind van Silver Lake. Het meer ligt ten noorden van Hollis aan NH Route 122. Op het diepste punt is het meer 7,3 meter diep. Tevens ligt er ook een diep kanaal in het midden van het meer dat tussen de 4,9 tot 8,5 meter diep is. Het meer is thuis aan verschillende vissoorten waaronder forelbaarzen, Perca flavescens, Zonnebaarzen, bruine dwergmeervallen en een paar grote karpers. De diepte van het meer en de doorlopende aanvoer van koud, schoon water zorgen ervoor dat er ook forellen kunnen voorkomen. In de omgeving van Silver Lake zijn er meerdere natuurlijke bronnen die zoetwater leveren aan het meer. De kleine dam aan het noordeinde van het meer reguleert de waterafvoer en het waterpeil. Het water stroomt weg onder NH 122 en in Dunklee Pond. Vervolgens stroomt het water verder in Pennichuck Brook, een zijrivier van de Merrimack. Ondanks dat het meer geen openbare trailerhelling heeft, is het gebruik van binnenvaartboten, zeilboten, kajaks en andere kleine boten toegestaan. Het meer heeft beperkte uren voor boten die sneller gaan dan 16 km/u maar er is geen limiet voor het toegestane motorvermogen. Het meer is getest op waterkwaliteit en sinds 2006 is het door New Hampshire geschikt bevonden om in te zwemmen. In de vroege jaren 1900 toen het meer nog bekend stond als Long Pond, lagen er twee danszalen genaamd Wallace Grove en Morrills Grove. Deze danszalen waren een populaire bestemming op zomerse nachten voor mensen die zelfs vanuit Boston aankwamen om te dansen. Veel soldaten namen de trein vanuit Fort Devens in de hoop om een buitengewone dame te ontmoeten. Ook al zijn beide zalen sindsdien gesloten, blijft het meer een populaire vakantiebestemming.

Lake Francis (New Hampshire)

Der Lake Francis ist ein 7,83 km² großer Stausee im Norden des US-Bundesstaats New Hampshire, genauer im dortigen Coös County. Durch den See fließt der 655 km lange Connecticut River, dessen Oberlauf zuvor zwei weitere Stauseen gefüllt hat. Nordwestlich des Francissees befindet sich das knapp 900 Einwohner zählende Pittsburg. Der See bildet den Kern des Lake Francis State Park. Geschichte Indian Stream Territory (1832–1835), Anschluss an USA (1842) Die Region im Norden von New Hampshire war lange zwischen Kanada und den USA umstritten. Am 9. Juli 1832 gründeten die dortigen Siedler eine eigene Regierung und nannten sich nach einem Fluss der Gegend; Indian Stream Territory. Es bestand bis 1835. 1840 wurde die Siedlung Pittsburgh inkorporiert, konnte sich also nunmehr selbst verwalten und einen Bürgermeister wählen, 1842 wurde das Gebiet mit dem Webster-Ashburton-Treaty an den Bundesstaat New Hampshire übertragen. Bau der Staumauer, Stromgewinnung, TransCanada (ab 1940) 1940 entstand der Murphy-Damm, der dem Ausgleich des schwankenden Energiebedarfs dienen sollte, indem er das Wasser in Zeiten geringen Stromverbrauchs zurückhielt, um es zwecks Stromerzeugung in Zeiten hohen Bedarfs abfließen zu lassen. Einige der benachbarten Seen, wie der First Connecticut Lake und der Second Connecticut Lake, die weiter am Oberlauf des Connecticut liegen, und die im Eigentum von TransCanada sind, dienen über einjährige Zyklen dem Ausgleich des schwankenden Strombedarfs; sie haben ein großes Reservoir zur Verfügung. Andere hingegen verfügen nur über kleinere Reservoirs und haben dementsprechend einen Wochen- oder gar Tageszyklus. Keiner der Dämme im Norden New Hampshires dient der kontinuierlichen Stromgewinnung am ansonsten frei durchfließenden Fluss. Die Francissee-Staumauer mit einer Höhe von rund 40 m befindet sich als einzige der Stauanlagen im Besitz der New Hampshire DES Water Division, wird aber von dem Energieunternehmen TransCanada betrieben. Sie dient neben der Energieversorgung vor allem der Wasserbevorratung. Insgesamt unterhält TransCanada in New Hampshire acht Stauseen, von denen sechs vorwiegend der Stromgewinnung und zwei der Wasserbevorratung dienen. Für das Passieren von Fischen sind keinerlei Vorrichtungen errichtet worden, weder stromauf- noch stromabwärts. Geographie Flora und Fauna Mehr als 100 Vogelarten wurden am Francissee beobachtet. Gelegentlich werden Elche und Schwarzbären gesichtet. Literatur Rebecca A. Brown (Hrsg.): Where the Great River Rises.

Salmon P. Chase Birthplace

Salmon P. Chase Birthplace was the birthplace and childhood home of Salmon P. Chase in New Hampshire, United States. It is located about 8 miles (13 km) north of Claremont on New Hampshire Route 12A. The 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house was built c. 1790, and is a multi-section structure in an L shape. The main block is five bays wide and two deep, with a centered entry that has Greek Revival pilasters on the central entry and on the corners. This block faces west, and two narrower sections extend east from the rear. The first of these sections is also 2+1⁄2 stories, with two chimneys. The easternmost section is 1+1⁄2 stories, and was originally connected to a barn. The house is believed to be well-preserved, but there is no documentary evidence of its appearance in the early 19th century, and it is known to have been moved across the street from its original site in about 1848. The house's significance arises because it is the only known building associated directly with the life of Salmon P. Chase (1808–1873). Chase was born in this house, and lived here until he was eight, when he was sent to live with relatives in Ohio after his father died. Chase had a long and distinguished legal and political career, serving as Governor of Ohio and contending with Abraham Lincoln for the 1860 nomination as the Republican Party candidate for president. Lincoln appointed Chase to be Treasury Secretary, a post he held during the American Civil War, and from which he strongly advocated abolitionist positions as a Radical Republican. Lincoln appointed Chase Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court in 1864, a post he held until his death. The house was declared a National Historic Landmark, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, in 1975. The home is currently operated as a bed and breakfast, the Chase House Inn.

Samuel Tenney House

The Samuel Tenney House is an historic house at 65 High Street in Exeter, New Hampshire. This mansion was built circa 1800 as the primary residence of Samuel Tenney, a noted scholar, scientist, physician, American Revolutionary War surgeon, patriot, judge, and member of Congress, and his wife Tabitha Gilman Tenney, the noted early American author. The master carpenter for the house was Ebenezer Clifford working with Bradbury Johnson. At the time, Clifford lived in the Gilman Garrison House, now owned by Historic New England. They also built the First Church, Exeter; the second Phillips Exeter Academy main building; and the Atkinson Academy building. Mrs. Tenney died in 1837, and the house was later occupied by Tristram Shaw, who was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, representing New Hampshire from 1830 until his death in 1843. In January 1892, Dr. George W. Dearborn purchased the Samuel Tenney House from Frank H. Hervey. Today the house is located at 65 High Street, having been relocated there in 1893 from its original location in the center of Exeter, next to and north of the First Church on Front Street, to accommodate construction of the Rockingham County Courthouse. On November 25, 1980, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

Searles Castle (New Hampshire)

The Searles Castle is located in Windham, New Hampshire, in the United States. Edward Francis Searles commissioned its design and construction. Construction began in 1905 and was completed in 1915. It was intended to be a 1/4-scale replica of the medieval Tudor manor of Stanton Harcourt in Oxfordshire, England, but since most of the manor had been torn down in the 18th century, the castle bears little resemblance to the historical structure. History and construction Searles hired architect Henry Vaughan to design Searles Castle. It is built of cut granite, fieldstone, and dark red sandstone, most of which came from Searles' own quarries in Pelham, New Hampshire. The castle is situated high atop the 175-acre (71 ha) Searles estate. The cost of construction was about $1,250,000. The castle consists of an entrance, a reception hall, a foyer, a dining room, a music room, a sun porch, a library, a grand stairway, a second floor guest suite, a third floor guest suite, a second floor rotunda (or balcony), servants' rooms, a kitchen, a butler's pantry, butlers' rooms, and a master bedroom suite which consists of a master bedroom, a sitting room, a bathroom, and a sun room. Later ownership When Searles died on August 6, 1920, he left the castle to his executive secretary, Arthur T. Walker. When Mr. Walker died seven years later, he left the castle to his niece, Iva C. McEachern, who sold it to real estate broker Frank M. Andrew in 1930 for $2 million. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew lived in the castle from 1943 to 1952, at which time it was sold to the Religious Order of the Sisters of Mercy. For a while, they used it as a novitiate for young women who were entering the Sisters of Mercy. From 1962 to the mid-1980s, Castle Junior College held classes in the castle. Due to water damage and other problems, the castle was closed for about five years. The roof was replaced, and in 1990 the decision was made to reopen the castle. Current uses In 1991, in an effort to restore the interior of the castle, a "Decorators' Showcase" was held. Through the generosity of those interior designers and contributions received over the years from many benefactors, the interior of the building has been refurbished. Since that time, the castle has been available to the public for social, cultural, religious, and business events. In November 2001, the Sisters of Mercy contracted David and Linda Kolifrath of Salem, New Hampshire, to organize and manage events held at the castle. At this time it was decided that operations would be expanded to include weddings and receptions in the castle courtyard in an effort to better utilize the facility, better serve the needs of the public, and to raise additional funds to further the charitable programs of the Sisters of Mercy. The property, along with several surrounding properties, sold in February 2019 to a California pharmaceutical company owner for $3.4 million. See also Searles Castle (Massachusetts) References
