Driving Jackson, N.H. In Winter
Jackson is a town in Carroll County, New Hampshire, United States. The population was 816 at the 2010 census. Jackson is an elegant resort area in the White Mountains. Parts of the White Mountain National Forest are in the west, north and east. Jackson has many beautiful hotels and B&B's including the Carter Notch Inn, The Inn at Jackson, the Eagle Mountain Hotel and the Wildcat Tavern.
Once consisting of several large land grants by Colonial Governor John Wentworth, the town was first named New Madbury, after the seacoast town of Madbury. In 1772, a road was built through Pinkham Notch, and the area was first settled in 1778 by Benjamin Copp and his family. In 1800, the community was renamed in honor of President John Adams, who was then in office. The name Adams stuck until the town was incorporated in 1829, when Andrew Jackson, the hero of the Battle of New Orleans, was inaugurated president. Governor Benjamin Pierce, a staunch backer of President Jackson, was influential in changing the name to Jackson. Only one vote was cast against the switch.
In 1847, artists of the White Mountain School began arriving in Jackson to paint the scenic beauty of the White Mountains. Others would follow, and in 1858, Joshua B. Trickey opened the Jackson Falls House. The Portland & Ogdensburg Railroad began service to Glen station at nearby Bartlett in the early 1870s, and several hotels were built to accommodate a growing infusion of tourists. Thorn Mountain House, built by Trickey in 1869, would evolve during the 1880s into Wentworth Hall, still in business today. Designed as a grouping of cottages around a main service building, the hotel included such amenities as a casino, built in 1886, and a hydroelectric plant, built in the 1890s. By the 1920s, 40 trains a day delivered passengers to Jackson.
The increasing use of automobiles, however, reduced travel by train, as vacationers could venture beyond the limits of rail service. Consequently, some grand 19th century hotels lost patrons and closed, although the town itself would never lose popularity. Jackson is one of the region's most picturesque villages, famous in part for Jackson Falls and Jackson X-C, a 150+ kilometer cross-country skiing trail system, rated one of the best in the world. Wildcat Mountain, with an unsurpassed view of Mount Washington, is a favorite alpine skiing destination. Jackson is perhaps best known for its red covered bridge (the Honeymoon Bridge), built in 1876, one of the most photographed in the state.

The Wentworth:
You may not find John Barrymore and Greta Garbo on the guest list, but The Wentworth is truly a Grand Hotel in the European tradition, with a history that reaches back a century and a quarter to the golden age of New England resorts.
At the turn of the century, Wentworth Hall sported an attractive Casino, with spacious smoking and billiard parlours, cafe, et cetera; while overhead a large handsome ballroom is brilliantly illuminated by its overarching electric lights. Here the guests dance every Wednesday and Saturday evenings. Two formal balls are held each season. So goes the text of a booklet available to guests in the twenties: Wentworth Hall is situated in an amphitheater, rimmed by the noblest mountain peaks of the region. On one side is Mount Washington, on the other Kearsarge, both within easy driving distance, while Thorn Mountain, Tin Mountain, Spruce Mountain, Doublehead, Black Mountain, Giant's Stairs, Iron Mountain, the Moat Range, and a host of others guard this happy valley, which is encircled by the Wildcat and Glen Ellis Rivers. Both of these noted streams unite their forces near Wentworth Hall, and flow on to the Saco, three miles distant.

Maine & New Hampshire Ski Trip
Over the Christmas holiday I was fortunate enough to go on a Ski/Snowboarding trip to Maine and New Hampshire. After a 12 hour drive to the first Ski Resort at WildCat Mountain we Ski/Snowboard all day. The first mountain had very few runs open but was a good place to start and get back in the swing of things from last season. The second day we took a trip to Maine and Skied Shawnee Peak. This time there were more runs open and allowed for everyone to pick runs that fit their ability. The third day we took a break from skiing/snowboarding and went snowmobiling. This was my first time snowmobiling and was an experience that I will never forget. The last day of the trip we spend skiing/snowboarding on Bretton Woods. This was by far my favorite slope and I got to snowboard on several blue runs and the terrain park. After that exciting day there was another 12 hour drive back home. I hope you enjoy the video! Thanks for watching.

Such a great evening of music we had here at Silver Maple House Concerts, when The Nouveaux Honkies brought their music to us on August 19, 2018. Their stories, original songs, and several covers were thoroughly enjoyed by our crowd! We are glad we could host them here, and hope to see them again when they tour our way. It was a beautiful, perfect weather night under the tree, with good friends, plentiful food, and really good music!
Castle For Sale - 61 Carter Notch Road, Jackson, NH
What if you could spend all of your vacations living a true life fantasy? Once you walk into this home, you’ll instantly fall in love. Go back to a time in our Victorian past, when people actually did indulge in their fantasies. Live like royalty in this magnificently appointed home, modeled after the Queen Anne style manors of Old England. There’s a beautiful, scenic golf course, practically next door. Jackson is one of the prettiest New England villages you’ll ever find! And, it’s in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, just minutes from Mount Washington, the tallest peak in the northeast.
Known as “The Castle”, this pristine, architectural showpiece was built on a unique, rocky overlook, directly across from the scenic Jackson Falls on the Wildcat River. Originally built by General Marshall C. Wentworth and his wife, Georgia T., groundbreaking took place in June of 1891, and the home was completed by 1893.
The Wentworths built this elegant home while developing Wentworth Hall and Cottages, a grand resort hotel, which is still very popular today with its 18-hole golf course for summer enjoyment, and cross-country ski trails during the winter months.
Constructed with natural stone from the Ellis and Wildcat River valleys, the foundation is said to be 7 feet thick. Two towers with conical, slate covered roofs are prominent at the front of the home, attached to a central hipped roof dormer. This is one of the original White Mountain Cottages, which were built as “Summer Homes” for the rich and famous of the Victorian era.
The home has countless unique and whimsical features, and is in remarkably pristine condition. Incredible workmanship went into the oak and birch woodwork and built-ins including hutches, wainscoting, railings, casings, moldings, fireplaces, arched doorways, bookcases and more. Numerous antique chandeliers can be found throughout the home.
The domes of each tower each have their own mystical settings. In one, a hand-painted tent ceiling is wonderfully preserved in the octagonal tower bedroom. The other tower bedroom was known as the “Mystic Chamber”. This bedroom has an alluring blue ceiling, and an acoustical phenomenon, extremely noticeable when speaking from the center of the room.
New systems and updates are in place, seamlessly preserving the original splendor of this magical home. The chimneys have been repointed, the entire foundation is pointed and sealed in the lower level.
The home features 13 rooms, each with its own ambiance and elegance. There are 6 bedrooms and 5 1/2 baths. There are 8 fireplaces of elaborate and intricate detail, designed specifically for each room.
The grounds include gardens, walkways, and overlooks. There’s also a caretaker’s cottage and a heated garage.
Everything about this home is original, unique and inspiring. Like many of the “White Mountain Summer Cottages” these homes were built upon imagination and fantasy with sound architecture. They were meant to reflect their surroundings. Each side of these houses were unique to present their own effect in relation to the background. Originally known as “The Towers”, this home’s local name evolved into “The Castle”. It certainly has the look and feel of a castle, and holds a special place among the fabulous homes of the White Mountains.
The Wentworth Castle isn’t just a fantasy home. It’s in a fantasy location! Surrounded by scenic mountain views, sparkling rivers, waterfalls and inspiring trails, the Mount Washington Valley is 4-season destination with some of the most brilliant fall foliage in the country, world class skiing in the winter, and tax free, discount outlet shopping on a grand scale. It has been the choice location for countless weddings and upscale events. It would make a perfect venue for corporate retreats. But family and friends are most important. The Wentworth Castle is on the market at an incredible value, and could be the best family heirloom of all.

Mount Osceola is a 4,315-foot (1,315 m) peak within the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Located in the White Mountain National Forest, Mount Osceolais named for the early-19th century Seminole leader. Osceola can be ascended from the Greeley Pond Trail to the northeast of the mountain, which requires crossing the East Peak of Osceola first, or from the Tripoli Road to the south. There was a fire lookout tower at the top of the mountain, which significantly expanded the view from the peak, but it was taken down in the late 1970s. Views from the summit cover a large portion of the White Mountains, extending from Mount Washington in the northeast to the town of Waterville Valley in the south.
******************************************************
Peak bagging or hill bagging is an activity in which hikers, climbers, and mountaineers attempt to reach a collection of summits, published in the form of a list. The activity was popularized in Scotland in the 1890s with the creation of the Munro list by Sir Hugh Munro.[2] Peak bagging was brought to the United States by Robert and George Marshall in 1918. Since then, the activity has been popularized around the world, with lists such as 100 Famous Japanese Mountains, the Sacred Mountains of China, the Seven Summits, and the eight-thousanders becoming the subject of mass public interest.
There are numerous lists that a peakbagger may choose to follow. A list usually contains a set of peaks confined to a geographical area, with the peaks having some sort of subjective popularity or objective significance, such as being among the highest or most prominent of the area. In the UK, the Marilyns have become popular.
