The original owners of the Woodshed not only lived next door, but their home, the "farmhouse" was eventually converted into dining space as part of the restaurant. We knew the original owners well - Dick and Jerri Tower - who are long-time Moultonborough residents, and they not only owned the Woodshed, but also ran/owned Longwood Farms (now Canoe) in Center Harbor for many years, and the Dairy Maid in Center Harbor. Dick also ran the small coffee shop at the Old Country Store (where I worked for several summers - selling penny candy). He also had a restaurant in Wolfboro, whose name escapes me (Strawberry something??).

The Woodshed has and always will be a special place: my brother was the bartender there in the early 1970s, our next door neighbor at the lake was the person who supervised the turning of the beef in the "pit", and the Woodshed catered my wedding in 1972 (married my husband on the deck at our cottage) from soup, to nuts, to wedding cake. My husband and I go to the Woodshed every summer, especially in August for our "anniversary" dinner. It has never failed us.
