MEREDITH — The Meredith Historical Society has scheduled a unique historical boat tour of Meredith’s islands and the eastern shore of Meredith Neck on Wednesday, Sept. 14. The Society has chartered the Camp Lawrence YMCA’s transport vessel, the Bear, for this first of its kind two-hour guided cruise among many of the town’s islands as well as the neck shoreline toward Center Harbor. The excursion will depart from the public docks at Goodhue Marina (formerly Shep Brown’s Boat Basin), on Lovejoy Sands Road.
Historical Society board members John Hopper and Rudy VanVeghten will provide a running commentary on the historical points of interest along the scenic route which was particularly rich in 19th Century activity. They will draw upon their extensive research on the lake and the neck as well as their personal experiences.
Boarding will begin at 12:30 p.m. for a 1 p.m. departure with a rain date the following day.
Seating is being limited to only 50 people. To reserve a seat for this special event, contact Ceil Andrews at 603-387-8426 or ceilandrews@aol.com.
Proceeds will be used In the ongoing preservation of the Main Street Museum and its Farm Museum on Winona Rd. The Meredith Historical Society is a non-profit 501c.3 organization.
