Tour the properties to be conserved in the "Gilmanton’s Greatest Views - For Everyone, Forever!" campaign on Sunday, July 8th starting at 1 pm.

 

The Gilmanton Land Trust invites the public to tour the four properties slated for conservation in the "Gilmanton’s Greatest Views—For Everyone, Forever!" campaign. The tour begins at 1 pm, Sunday, July 8th, rain or shine, leaving from the barn in the hayfield on Meeting House Road. The tour takes about two hours, but gives an easy opportunity to depart after just an hour at the Meetinghouse Pond tract.

 

The tour will include a mile-long walk, via trail, through field and woods (irregular in spots), stopping at a point with gorgeous views of unspoiled Meetinghouse Pond. There will also be a stop at the historically rare flax "retting" pond once used for processing flax into linen. The group will then go to the Loon Pond Road tract and take a short walk to the old Osgood Cemetery, where help will be sought for solving a spooky puzzle. The tour will end atop Frisky Hill, with its famous views.

 

Project manager Tom Howe will co-lead the tour. Wear appropriate footwear and insect repellent, and bring water. Kids, and dogs only on leashes, are welcomed.

 

Directions: From the west, on Route 107, turn off onto Meeting House Rd., near the top of Frisky Hill, and go 1.1 miles to Twigg’s barn on your left, at the end of a hayfield. From the east, on Route 140, turn off onto Meeting House Rd., and go 1.2 miles to a stop at the end of Stone Road. Turn right, and continue half a mile to Twigg’s barn on your right. Park along the edge of the field. No RSVP is needed.

GCPL Board Of Trustees Express Thanks For Public Support

 

At its June 16 board meeting, the Trustees of the Gilmanton Corner Public Library expressed thanks to the many people who prepared for and participated in the Library’s 100th Anniversary Birthday Celebration. As Tom Scribner, Board Chair noted, "It may have been a wet, cold and windy day (Saturday, June 2), but spirits were high and the entertainment delightful." Dave da Twista amazed everyone with his balloon creations as David Morrison entertained with his fiddle playing. The event was catered by Sarah Baldwin-Welcome whose servers provided cake, ice cream, and punch.

 

The Trustees expressed appreciation to the Bank of New Hampshire, Meredith Savings Bank, and Northway Bank for underwriting the event and to John Funk who facilitated their participation. Thanks were also extended to Tim Warren and the Gilmanton Town Selectmen for permitting use of the Academy Building.

 

Sincere, grateful kudos were extended to Linda Hudziec, Librarian, who has provided new energy, professionalism, enthusiasm, and an open and welcoming environment for patrons and volunteers alike.

 

Event architect was Barbara Angevine supported by the current Trustees: Diana McElwee, Tom Scribner, and Donna White. Current Alternates are Deb Chase and Judy Bakos. Immediate past Trustees include Phyllis Buchanan and Becky Ronstadt.

 

The Trustees also expressed appreciation to the many people who donated their time, money and/or effort to prepare the Library for its 100th Anniversary celebration. Israel Willard and Tom Scribner pulled out shrubs and installed drainage, Mickey Daigle of R. M. Daigle Construction completed the excavation work preparatory to sidewalk construction, and Bill Hurst installed an excellent temporary paved walkway for use over the winter months. Then, this spring, Steve Chmielecki of All Stone Masonry donated his time and material to build a beautiful brick walkway for the Library. Of course, the entire sidewalk project would not have been feasible without the financial contributions of numerous donors. Justin Caldon of Four Corners Landscaping donated his time and material to finish the final grading and seeding, while Paula Gilman and Thomie Dombrowski donated and planted new shrubs recently supplemented by Scribner who donated his time and effort to install supplementary plants, fertilize, and mulch. Most recently, Ernie Hudziec has donated his time and effort to upgrade and refurbish the Library’s windows.

 

The Board’s next meeting is scheduled for 9:30 am, Monday, July 9. Anyone interested in learning more about the Gilmanton Corner Public Library as it embarks on its next 100 Years is encouraged to attend.

 

For more information, contact: Diana McElwee, Board of Trustees, Gilmanton Corner Public Library, or by phone at 603-267-8208.
