The town that was mentioned the most this past weekend by guests as having several ghost stories was Alton, New Hampshire. Located on the shore of Lake Winnipesaukee, this town was officially designated in 1770. Featured in our New Hampshire Book of the Dead, there are so many spooky tales here. From accounts of a haunted Town Hall, to a witches grave and a haunted farm - many people have a story to share!

Okay, we are not crying. 🥲Thank you so very much to the sweet young man who gifted us the purple monkey he just won from the mall claw machine. He loved the store, walked our labyrinth twice - smiling all the way. We were so floored we gifted him one of our little aliens and some candy pops to take home. 🫶🏼 We are so very happy to be here and connecting with our community! 🙏🏼
