Land of Low Hills: Loudon, New Hampshire - The First 250 years, 1773-2023 by Melissa Moore (Peter E. Randall Publisher, 2023)

This book is Loudon's first town history covering two hundred and fifty years. There are wonderful stories inside, captured beautifully by author and town resident, Melissa Moore. Residents interviewed for this book shared memories of their days attending one-room schoolhouses. Others shared their experiences earning a living from Loudon's fields and forests. Detailed research into the town's well-kept archives, as well as state-wide sources, brings to light many interesting aspects of town development, such as the growth of the racetrack businesses and their impact on this small town. Find out which grand, country homes joined the hospitality business in earlier times and welcomed guests during the busy tourist season. --Publisher's blurb
