Sandwich News Column

By Stephanie Goddard

Parents, kids and school staff gathered outside Sandwich Central School on Monday afternoon to take in the solar eclipse. Though Sandwich was not in the ‘totality’ range, we were able to see the progression as the moon moved in front of the sun, then away. At the peak, the sun became a sliver. We were blessed with a bright sunny day and clear blue skies, so that when the moon was shadowing the sun, the difference in the light all around was noticeable. It was a different light, not like a cloudy day, and not like dusk. More like how it appears when wearing dark sunglasses on a bright day. Children alternated between playing on the playground and stopping to view the eclipse through their solar glasses. One sixth grader noted, “I thought it was underwhelming, but I’m glad I saw it.” Before the group dispersed, the school principal stated, “Let’s do it again in 40 years!”

Sandwich Historical Society

This summer’s exhibition at the Sandwich Historical Society is titled, The Photograph and Memory. In the 19th century, the advent of photography had an extraordinary impact on peoples’ ability to create images of friends, family and environments. It was a universally utilized medium for recording history.
From daguerreotypes to digital, this summer, the Sandwich Historical Society will be examining the history of photography using examples from our extensive photography collection. The opening day of the exhibit will be June 29, 2024.

A Look Back

Director Jim Mykland has pulled together some interesting entries from the Sandwich Reporter (1883-1944).  Grab your favorite beverage and enjoy! 
April 9, 1908:  The snow storm of Wednesday night and Thursday Morning and the cold weather which followed made it seem as though winter had come back for another visit.
The Silhouette Social which was held in the C.E. hall Wednesday evening of last week was a very enjoyable occasion. 27 silhouettes were hung on the wall for all present to identify. Mrs. Elmer Hart identified 25 which was the largest number guessed and Mrs. Moses Brown guessed the smallest number. Maple syrup, doughnuts and pickles were served in the lower hall. About 50 were present.
Obituary – Mrs. Dorothy A. (Vittum) Graves died at Sandwich, N.H. March 27, 1908. She was the widow of Ross C. Graves (who died in Sandwich, March, 1884) and the daughter of Moses and Sally Vittum.
          Mrs. Graves lived and spent all her days on the homestead place. Like all good women her thoughts were for home and children, and not traveling about here and there. Her record was made and enshrined where she was, still is, and ever will be will remembered. A more hospitable, kind and Christian greeting was not to be found in East Sandwich than in her presence. She made no show, but lived the truth. (The Ross C. Graves house is on Vittum Hill Road near the intersection with Frog Pond Road. SHS ed.)

Mud Season Hiking Trail Closures

The trails listed below are closed as of Tuesday, March 12, 2024. Trails will reopen in late April or early May based on ground conditions. 
Each year the Squam Lakes Association, in conjunction with landowners who allow public access on their land, temporarily closes a number of trails around Squam. Closing trails is essential to prevent significant damage to the places you love, and it gives us a chance to perform maintenance. As the snow melts, the icy or muddy conditions force hikers to move off the trails and on to the softer ground on the side. This activity loosens rocks, weakens trees, and creates erosion, which hurts both the trails and the surrounding environment. In order to protect the trail network, please avoid hiking on closed trails until we reopen them when conditions dry up! Thank you for helping protect the trails!
Closed Trails: include trails on the Rattlesnake Network (East and West Rattlesnake) and Squam Range trails.  
To inquire about trail closures, call 603-968-7336 or email [email protected].
