Views - For Everyone, Forever campaign is offered on June 24th
beginning at 1 pm.

properties slated for conservation in the Gilmanton’s Greatest Views
- For Everyone, Forever! campaign. The tour will begin at 1:00 pm,
Sunday, June 24th, leaving from the barn in the hayfield on Meeting
House Road. and take about one hour.
The tour will include a relatively level, mile-long walk on a trail
to the shoreline of unspoiled Meetinghouse Pond, and a stop at the
rare, historically significant flax "retting" pond used 200 years
ago for processing flax into linen. Via carpool, the group will go
to Loon Pond Road and walk to the historic Osgood Cemetery. Finally
the tour will visit the top of Frisky Hill, with its famous views.
Project manager, Tom Howe, will co-lead the tour, along with other
board members of the Gilmanton Land Trust. This will be a great
opportunity to learn firsthand what this ambitious, $1.18 million
land conservation campaign is all about, what makes these lands so
special, and why the organization now has to raise only $151,000
more to achieve its goals.
To attend, arrive by 1:00 pm at the barn in the hayfield on Meeting
House Road, in Gilmanton.
To reach the barn from the west, at the junction of Meeting House
Road and Route 107, on Frisky Hill, go easterly on Meeting House
Road for about 1.1 miles and watch for the barn on the left.

families gathered around the figurative hearth, participating in
timeless, hearty entertainment and, almost without knowing it,
learning how America amused itself before electricity.
