Echoes of the Past — Historic Moultonborough You Might Not Know

Walking Through Time

Before it became a lakeside destination, Moultonborough was a small farming and mill town built on grit and community. Today, many of its quiet corners still hold echoes of that past — from old homesteads and cemeteries along country roads to historic inns and barns that predate the Civil War.

The Old Country Store and Museum stands as a living landmark, a reminder of when the general store was the heart of every town. A short drive away, the Moultonborough Historical Society preserves photos, diaries, and letters that chronicle the area’s early families — names that still appear on local road signs.

Exploring historic Moultonborough is less about sightseeing and more about storytelling. It’s a chance to see how the past still breathes in the clapboard walls, the creaking floors, and the quiet rhythm of village life that hasn’t changed all that much in 250 years.
