Since 1849, over 150 people have lost their lives on Mt. Washington and the surrounding Presidential Range. In this presentation, featured speaker Joan Veilleux will tell us with emotion and suspense, the true stories of debutant Lizzie Bourne and climber Ned Green. She will share with us her personal encounters of what may have been their “presence” while climbing the mountain and working as a ranger on the summit. Joan brings us back in time to the 1850s and then into the present world of ice climbing and mountaineering, all in a place she knows and loves.

Guest speaker Mary Ann McGarry, Associate Professor of Environmental Science and Policy at Plymouth State University, will present “The Bicknell’s Thrush and Sustainable Development.”
A rare native songbird — the Bicknell’s Thrush — has failed to be listed as a threatened species; however, data collected will inform ongoing conservation efforts.
This bird serves as a catalyst for considering how NH is linked to sustainable development in our home state as well as on the island of Hispaniola where Haiti and the Dominican Republic are co-located. The Bicknell’s Thrush breeds in the high peaks of NH and winters in the forests on Hispaniola. Saving this species means protecting its habitat in two regions and solving complex issues related to race, poverty, deforestation and natural resource management. Although the challenges are great, learn what is being done to raise awareness at both ends of the birds’ migratory route.

Guest speaker Allen Crabtree will share the “History of Mountain Top Inns and Hotels.”
For nearly as long as there have been tourists enjoying the White Mountains there have been hotels for them to stay. These have included Crawford’s Old Moosehead Tavern in 1817, the Notch House in 1828, the first Crawford House in 1850, the first of several Mount Washington Summit Hotels in 1874, and many others. Other peaks also sported their summit hotels, including Mount Kearsarge North in North Conway, Pleasant Mountain in Denmark, Me., Mount Chocorua in Albany, and others. This illustrated talk will outline the rise, glory years, and decline of nearly all these summit hotels and grand resorts that were so popular with White Mountain tourists in the late 1800s to early 1900s.
