The Great Camps of Newfound Lake

At the turn of the nineteenth century over 95% of the livelihood of those living around Newfound Lake was agriculturally based.

By the early to mid-twentieth century, the majority of the farms were overgrown; crumbling barns and cellar holes were all that showed where houses had formerly stood.  The area was dying financially. But things had started to change for the better in the 1870’s.

 In the late 1800’s: many, mostly fishermen and hunters at first, and leisure seekers later, started coming to Newfound. They were the first tourist, and they saved the local economy.

 The 1890 tourist boom also resulted in the beginning of another Newfound institution: the public and private Great Camps. The Great Camps catered to adults, boys, and girls. The President of Harvard once said, “The organized Summer Camp is the most important step in education that America has given the world.”

This is an historical summary of the Newfound Lake Great Camps.

Price is $29.95. Available on Amazon.com or from the Hebron Historical Society, PO Box 89, Hebron, NH.

A History of Newfound Lake

Newfound Lake located in the towns of Bristol, Alexandria, Bridgewater and Hebron, New Hampshire has long been known for the purity of its water and the beauty of its watershed. It also has an interesting human history. This book gives a look at tens of thousands of years of lake history, and about ten thousand years of human history associated with the lake.

This is not a history of the towns surrounding the lake. Rather, a history of the lake itself and the activities, natural and human, that have occurred upon its water and shore.

Price is $29.95. Available on Amazon.com or from the Hebron Historical Society, PO Box 89, Hebron, NH.
