This presentation will contain many old photographs of the area between Newbury Train station and Lake station. The time period is approx. 1890 to 1925. We intend to show the development from a very rural town after the civil war to a bustling resort lake with hotels , guest houses & lakeside cottages. A time when several steamboats were navigating the lake and the steam trains who brought thousands to the area at the end of the 19th century. An emphasis on Mr Henry Allen Hancox, Civil engineer who created maps, indexes of residents, proposed sub divisions and started the cottage building on this section of the lake. Narrated by Deane Geddes from Newbury Historical Society, currently serving as Archivist.
