Historic Bethel Hill: A Guided One-Hour Walking
Tour
Saturday, July 3, 2010 to Saturday, September 4,
2010
Led by our summer high school intern or BHS
volunteer, guided tours of the historic village area
will take place Saturdays at 11:00 a.m.; meet at the
bell tower on the north end of the common.
Bethel’s first settlers logged, farmed, sawed
timber and built houses and barns. By the 19th
century, though, they wanted more: the services
and amenities of a town. Doctors, shopkeepers,
lawyers and tradesmen began to establish
themselves on Bethel Hill. Owners of small mills
and factories joined them, and in 1851 the railroad
came to town, bringing with it a boom in
manufacturing and tourism. By the late 19th
century Bethel was an economic hub for its region
and a major tourist destination offering scenic
views of the surrounding White Mountains, health-
giving springs, hunting and fishing, New England
hospitality in large summer hotels, and, at the turn
of the 20th century, world-renowned opera singers
and a clinic for the treatment of those with
nervous disorders. The historic buildings and
landscape of Bethel Hill village can help us picture
all this today. Free (donations accepted). FMI 207-
824-2908.
