Moosilauke Public Library receives New Hampshire Humanities Grant

The Moosilauke Public Library has received a grant from New Hampshire Humanities to present The History of the Kancamagus Highway.

The History of the Kancamagus Highway will be presented on Monday, November 20, 2023, at 6:00PM at the Woodstock Town Office Building.

Considered to be one of the most scenic roads in America, the Kancamagus Highway draws thousands of tourists to New Hampshire annually. The highway, which runs between Conway and Lincoln and through the towns of Albany and Waterville Valley, was fully opened in 1967, but the development of the highway itself took over 120 years to become a reality.  Located in the Swift River Valley for much of its length, the Kancamagus is the gateway to the southern White Mountains and is not only renowned for its fall foliage views, but such celebrated natural sites as Sabbaday Falls, Lower Falls, and Rocky Gorge, to name just a few. Join historian and author Glenn Knoblock as he details the development of this Granite State treasure, and offers a glimpse into what the “Kanc” has to offer visitors all year round.

This program is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided.
