CHESTERFIELD, N.H. â For almost 100 years, the stairs at Madame Sherriâs castle have stood in the forest of West Chesterfield.
Even when the abandoned building burned to the ground in 1963, the granite steps remained.
But on Saturday, the upper section of the stairs collapsed. There are no reports that anyone was injured during the collapse.
âWe donât really know what happened,â said Jack Savage, the president of the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, owner of the 513 acres of the Madame Sherri Forest. âMy guess is, gravity finally won.â
