Editorial Reviews

Title: New book highlights Newbury's place in history

Author: Meg Heckman

Publisher: Concord Monitor

Date: 6/1/09



Newbury now has its very own edition of Images of America, a series of books that uses old photos to chronicle life in various communities.



It was produced by Shelly Candidus, along with the Newbury Historical Society, and it's packed with information.



Here are three things you'll learn just by flipping through:



1.) The Center Meetinghouse was built in 1832 because townspeople wanted a place for religious gatherings near the local bar.



2.) There was once a casino at Blodgett's Landing, a popular corner of Lake Sunapee, then and now.



3.) Mount Sunapee's first chairlift opened in 1948, shortly after the area was named a state park.
