‘ount Washington is the highest mountain in

Presidential Range of the White Mountains, it
was named for George Washington. It was frst scaled
by Europeans in 1642. Ethan Allen Crawford and his
father, Abel, blazed the frst trail up the mountain in 1219:
today it is the oldest mountain trail in continuous use in
the United States. In 1851, the railroad reached nearby
Gorham, NH, ushering in the golden age of White:
Mountain tourism. Just two years later 3.400 visitors
climbed Mount Washington, and today, approximately
50.000 people hike the mountain each year.

Then in 1825, the Newmarket Manufacturing Company aequired the
water rights and built @ new dam around 1840, The cotton factory in
Newmarket’s iconic stone mills was about ten miles downstream on
the Lumprey River. A system of reservoirs throughout the watershed
released water in dry periods to ensure ah even flow year-round, The
Newmarket Mills operated from 1822 to 1929, and at its height included
seven mill buildings and the largest weave room in the world.

In the early 1900s, as factories were being electrified, the rights to
Mendums Pond and other water resourtes were aequired by the
