Welcome to "the oldest summer resort"

by kooka3 - last update: Jan 21, 2005

Living in a tourist trap . . .

look carefully for the mandatory steeple!
Wolfeboro is a pretty, quaint, "traditional" New England town. In the winter, it's dead. In the summer, the population about quadruples . . . LOTS of tourists and people who own summer homes. If you like to kick back and relax, shop in "quaint" shops, or swim and boat, there's lots to do. If you're looking for lots of nightlife, don't bother! This is a make-your-own-fun sort of town.

I lived here for 5 years. I grew to love the place, even though we would complain about it a lot. It's amazing how quickly we got used to driving 45-60 minutes to see a movie! However, the beauty of the area really did make up for it.

 Yes, I have to say that's the first tip I've seen relevant to stamp collectors! Thank you for sharing.

 "Dead in the winter" ? Try Waterville Valley. When I was there the population was 52 after 8 PM and into 10,000 during the day....

 Mocha coffee, a good bookshop, yummy choccies & beautiful water views. Sounds like my kind of summer place. Any skiing (downhill) nearby in winter time?

 Wolfeboro is the prettiest little town! I love those shops on the main street. Even without pictures your page brings back warm memories. Thanks for sharing.
