Wolfeboro |
Wolfeboro Real Estate: John Wentworth, New Hampshire’s Colonial Governor over 200 years ago, chose to construct his summer home in Wolfeboro, making Wolfeboro America’s first summer resort. Along the beautiful shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, Wolfeboro has recreational activities for all ages and sizes. The town was incorporated in 1787 and operates under the New Hampshire Municipal Finance Act and is administered by an elected five person Board of Selectmen and a Town Manager who is appointed by the selectmen. Annual town and school budgets are voted upon in March by the residents. Other annual community events are held throughout the year including the Summer Solstice Celebration in June, the Folk Festival in July, the Huggins Hospital Fair in August, the Great Waters Music Festival in July-September, and the Scarecrow Festival in September-October.
The Libby Museum, established in 1912, is on the registry of national historic places. The Libby Museum features collections of natural history featuring an Abenaki Native American collection as well as a Governor Wentworth collection. The museum offers activities for all ages and has a special summer day camp program exclusively for children ages 4 and up. Various artists are also featured in the museum throughout the season.
