Hi Steve,

I am glad you enjoy my work. How can you not love the history of New Hampshire. I find it so interesting.

Thank you for the offer. I will keep you in mind if I ever am in the Lyme area. And I will take a look at your website.

Hi Erin,

This is an awesome post. Like many, I have a passion for White Mountain/New Hampshire history and love finding features in the woods or along a trail that tell stories. You've done a great job in capturing just this. Great photos of the dug wells! I've found a lot of foundations but no dug wells in my travels.

Thanks,

Karl

I enjoy your interest in history and the remnants still remaining in New Hampshire's woods. If you're ever in Lyme or Orford I can point you to lots of interesting old cellar holes, homesteads, mines, limekilns, and even the oldest cement silo (rectangular) in the state. Some are remarkably well preserved while others leave much to the imagination. There's still very little on my website, though.
