Sarah Welch Sarah Welch's ancestors were among the earliest settlers of this village just above Franconia Notch in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. They had the foresight to preserve the records of their daily lives and their business ventures. The Nelson family and heirs owned and occupied this house from 1928 until 1996. The Museum offers a Research Library, collection of books on the early iron industry, tourism and skiing as well as a wealth of material that will assist genealogists. Open by request.
Teachers are welcome to bring their classes to the museum by appointment.
Sharyn McGuigan, an experienced teacher and museum volunteer, guides the school children, with the assistance of other volunteers.
