Continuing our explorations in the Lakes Region, we headed to Rochester. In addition to seeing all the roadside historical markers, we were also taking part in the Five Hikes Challenge sponsored by the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests. One of the hikes was in Champlin Forest in Rochester. It was nice to take a peaceful walk in the woods, followed by a socially distanced visit with friends, in between drives to markers.
What is now the Governor’s Inn and Restaurant in Rochester is the combined estates of two brothers, Huntley N. (1869-1955) and Rolland H. (1873-1942) Spaulding. Each served as governor of New Hampshire.
