Dixville, Colebrook, Columbia, and Stewartstown - Hardcover

Nestled in the Great North Woods of New Hampshire, Dixville, Colebrook, Columbia, and Stewartstown are in a region of deep forests, grand mountains, and rich river valleys. This wooded area was traversed by Native Americans whose trails paved the way for settlers to follow. At the turn of the 20th century, these small communities were teeming with industry that included logging, farming, manufacturing, and tourism. The economy was further supported with the arrival of the railroad. Dixville, Colebrook, Columbia, and Stewartstown chronicles and celebrates the movers and shakers of these small New England towns. Today, the region draws thousands of annual visitors for hiking, boating, snowmobiling, and other outdoor recreation. Dixville is the home of the historic Balsams Grand Resort, which has provided rest and recreation for over 100 years. Colebrook, with its many shops and arts center, remains the commercial heart for Stewartstown and Columbia.
