History of Newfound Lake Told Through Postcards

Husband and wife, Jeanne Mulhern Holfen and Kent G. Holfen team up on new local book.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 
PRLog (Press Release) - May 2, 2012 - The newest addition to Arcadia Publishing’s Postcard History series is Newfound Lake from local authors Jeanne Mulhern Hoflen and Kent G. Hoflen. The book boasts more than 200 vintage postcards and memories of days gone by.

Newfound Lake, often referred to as “New Hampshire’s best kept secret,” borders the towns of Bristol, Bridgewater, Hebron, and Alexandria and has been a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts and vacationers since the late 1880s. Charming cottages and inns formed around the lake to meet the needs of the growing tourism industry. In Newfound Lake, rare postcard images, primarily from the authors’ private collection, transport the reader back to these special moments in time.
