HISTORY OF CAMPING
An idealized representation of camping on Lake Winnipesaukee. From a linen postcard dated 1936. These days, it is nearly impossible to find a campsite right on the shore of the lake.
Below, camping at the Weirs, 1870s, from an early stereoview.
Another idealized depiction of camping on Lake Winnipesaukee. Postmarked in 1931.
Campers on Lake Winnipesaukee are likely to see a “Nut Cracker” near their campsite.
Campers on Lake Winnipesaukee might also see black bears; the “States’ First Settlers”, as humorously noted in this old linen postcard.
You won’t encounter these animals while you’re camping! A postcard of “Buffalo in Corbin Park, Near Newport, N.H.” How did buffalos wind up in New Hampshire? Watch Ken Burn’s The Amercian Buffalo to learn how.
