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.
