Weston shows and fairs spark town revival in New Hampshire
A reflective piece recalls Weston New Hampshire’s transformation from a sleepy 1930s village to a thriving present with a summer theatre, restored Farrar Mansur House museum, and revived industries. It notes founder figures and the town’s 1776 settlement, Civil War impact, and later community efforts led by the Weston Community Club. Also shared are a local dinner memory at The Inn at Weston and two recipes for beet soup and veal Provenale with detailed steps and ingredients.
