volunteer Lake Hosts for the 2016 season. Lake Hosts
inspect boats going into and out of Northwood Lake for invasive
species. If you enjoy meeting people, spending time
outside on the lake this is a wonderful job that gives back to
the community. Keeping new invasive species out of
Northwood is an important part the work the Watershed
Association is doing to maintain the quality of the lake.
Keeping the present invasive species from leaving the lake on a
boat trailer is good citizenship and helps to protect hundreds
of other New Hampshire lakes. Join us, as a volunteer or a
paid Lake Host. Training is provided. Call Jim
Vaillancourt at 942-5365 and help us maintain our wonderful
resource, Northwood Lake.
Northwood Historical Society Program
Are you the proud owner or just interested in the preservation
of old barns? The Northwood Historical Society is pleased
to sponsor a program by John Porter on “The History of
Agriculture as Told by Barns” on May 17, 2016, 7:00 PM at the

Streets. The program is free and open to the public.
A pot luck supper will be held starting at 6:00 PM, bring a
salad, main dish or dessert to share and your place setting,
beverages will be provided.
The evolution of barn architecture tells the story of New
Hampshire agriculture. Barns changed from the early
English style, to Yankee style, to gambrel and then pole barns
to accommodate the changing agriculture. This
presentation will be a chronological walk through time, with
photo illustrations of barns around the state that are examples
of these eras of agricultural history.
John Porter was raised on a dairy farm in Lebanon NH and
graduated from UNH with a BS Degree in Animal Science; then went
on to obtain his Master’s Degree from Cornell University in
Animal Nutrition and Farm Management; and later earned another
Master’s Degree from Bob Jones University in Education
Administration. From 1974 to 2006, he served as a Dairy
Specialist for UNH Cooperative Extension. He authored the
book “Preserving Old Barns,” was editor and contributing author
of “The History and Economics of the NH Dairy Industry” and was
a contributing author of “Crosscurrents of Change,” an updated
history of Concord, NH. He still be works part time for UNH and
operates his own consulting company, Farm Planning Services,
LLC.
We hope to on see you on May 17 for
this evening of good food, conversation and informative program.
