History
Many great stories come from humble beginnings, and our story is no different. The doors of what would become a world-famous resort were opened to two weary travelers taken in for the night. They were on their way from Montreal to Boston and their stagecoach overturned. The driver directed them to a nearby farmhouse in the small township of Whitefield, New Hampshire. Despite the late hour, the owners of the farmhouse--William and Mary Jane Dodge--welcomed the travelers graciously and took them in. Though the travelers originally planned on a single night's stay, their desire to reach Boston quickly waned thanks to two fortuitous occurrences. Upon waking up and taking in the breathtaking view of the White Mountains (and a delicious home-cooked breakfast), the travelers were so captivated they decided to stay an entire week. The rest is history.
