Two churches joined together and became Federated (yoked) in 1933. Although we are still affiliated with both the American Baptist Church (ABC) and the United Methodist Church (UMC) denominations and use both church buildings, our membership is ecumenical. In the spring and summer months we worship at the Baptist Meetinghouse on Church Street and in the fall and winter months we worship at the Methodist Meetinghouse on Main Street.
Our ministries include, but are not limited to, an Annual Dessert Auction with proceeds going to a different mission each year; A Prayer Shawl Ministry where prayer shawls are hand made and given away to anyone needing extra care and comfort; Helping once a month make lunch for Isaiah 61 Café in Laconia. Our Spiritual Growth opportunities include, but are not limited to, a weekly Book Group, Bible Study, and yearly retreat. We also offer community events like the Annual Ice Cream Social for people to gather before the fireworks at the Fairgrounds and some years we offer an Awareness Festival with a particular theme. Our first year was on Human Trafficking in New Hampshire and the following year we focused on the Homeless in New Hampshire. Each event raised monies to help with these causes. |

Isaac Adams Homestead
|
Isaac Adams, a genius inventor and politician, founded Isaac Adams Homestead in 1855. Adams, a native of New Hampshire, purchased various farms and large plots of land over the course of seventy-five years, managing to amass more than twenty-five hundred acres of land. Instead of constructing the buildings from scratch, Isaac hired a crew with sleds and oxen to transport the original buildings up the hillside from other parts of Sandwich and from the neighboring town of Moultonboro. In its heyday, the estate was a fully functioning farm. Over the years, the property had several owners and eventually was left vacant and fell into disrepair.

|
John P. Dolan purchased the Homestead in April of 2013. John and a skilled crew of tradesmen and contractors have painstakingly restored the majority of the original buildings, including three barns, a chapel – previously an herb shed – the windmill, and of course the main house, which has over 8000 ft of living quarters. The Homestead will become a bed and breakfast, with plans for a banquet hall in the lower barn.
John Dolan was raised in Center Harbor. Because of his love for the area and for historical restoration, John hopes that the Isaac Adams Homestead will be enjoyed for generations to come.

Young Maple Ridge Sugarhouse
|
YMRS, located in the backwoods of North Sandwich, New Hampshire, was founded by Brad Streeter in March 2000. Originally based on Behr Farm in Tamworth, the operation moved to Sandwich in 2004 with the construction of its first sugarhouse. Continued growth led to a upgraded facility at 301 Wing Road in 2011, with production beginning in the 2012 season.
The sugarhouse began with a wood-fired evaporator, steam-away, and reverse osmosis system. In 2017, an oil-fired evaporator was added for improved efficiency. In 2025, a larger reverse osmosis machine was installed, capable of processing 1,800 gallons of sap per hour, streamlining production. Sap is collected using a vacuum-assisted tubing system, delivered to storage tanks in the woods, and trucked daily to the sugarhouse. YMRS is a true family-run operation. Brad’s parents, Rae and Bob Streeter, his son Nolan, and partner Ashley Benes all pitch in, with extended family lending support during busy times. Their teamwork and dedication result in maple syrup of the finest quality. |
In addition to syrup, YMRS produces maple cream, maple candy, and maple sugar—offered in both glass and plastic jugs of various sizes. And if that’s not sweet enough for you, Papa Beans Ice Cream crafts its small-batch ice cream right inside our sugarhouse, with a variety of flavors available at our convenient self-serve stand.

Located in the village of Tamworth, Remick Country Doctor Museum & Farm is a historic farmstead featuring exhibits, gardens, a walking trail and more. Visitors are invited to discover 200+ years of agricultural traditions, combined with the unique story of father and son country doctors, the Drs. Remick.

Summer and beyond, guided experiences include season-based classes and workshops, family-friendly activities, special events, and tours, including The Dr. Remick Medical History Tour. This tour, which takes place at the Captain Enoch Remick House (on the Register of Historic Places), provides a glimpse into the home and work lives of the Drs. Remick, including the original apothecary and medical rooms that housed their medical practices from 1894 to 1993. Much of the year, the museum center is open to provide introductory exhibits about the Remick family, their farm, medical history, and early tourism in Tamworth (days vary). The Binsack Trail is open dawn to dusk, year-round (not maintained in winter, visitors assume all risks). |
