sels once common on the lakes, rivers, and coasts of New Hampshire and southern Maine. Once the primary mode of transporting cargo, early forms of the gundalow were among the very first vessels built by colonists. The last commercial gundalows disappeared from our waters in the first decades of the 20th century. The Museum is celebrating its 10th season in Wolfeboro
this year and is open daily through Columbus Day Week- end, Monday through Saturday 10am-4pm, and Sunday 12-4pm. Housed in the historic Allen “A” Resort’s original dance hall, the Museum is located at 397 Center Street (Route 28/109), two miles from downtown Wolfeboro.

“The Amazing Concord Coach:” The Pierce Bri-
gade presents “The Amazing Concord Coach” on Saturday, July 24th at 1pm. The pro- gram will feature the Concord Coach Society and is part of a year long se- ries focused on New Hampshire history and cul- ture. Held at the Pierce Manse at
14 Horseshoe Pond Lane in Concord, the Brigade Lecture Series is free and open to the public. Attendees are en- couraged to take a tour of President Pierce’s historic house before or after the program. Presented in period costume, this program will highlight
the significance of horse drawn carriages, particularly the Concord Coach, in the development of the United States. Lewis Downing and his partner, J. Stephens Abbott, manu- factured 40 different types of wagons and carriages between 1826 and 1919 in Concord, New Hampshire. The most well-known, the Concord Coach, maintained a reputation for reliability and comfort. They were sold throughout the country and even became the signature image for Wells Fargo Bank. The Pierce Manse is open to the public for tours Tuesday- Saturday 11:00-3:00 p.m. June 15 through September 4, 2010 and Fridays and Saturdays September 7-October 9 noon to 3:00 p.m. Brigade Lecture Series programs usually occur on the fourth Thursday of each month and are open to the public.
