History of Welch Island?

welch100 · 07-27-2006, 09:01 AM

I have a copy of Mary Donsker's "History of Welch Island" which has information about the Luce Estate on the north side of the island. The history ends in 1945, and I see no mention of the property leaving the Luce family, but on a chart of camps built on Welch from 1906-1945 she indicates it was occupied by the family until 1938.

The estate still stands and has been restored over recent years. It encompasses a lot of land and is very lovely! It's currently owned by the Irwin Muskat family.

While the T-A Historical Society's hours may not be convenient, I learned today that "The Gunstock Parish" by Ms. Mulligan is also for sale at the Gilford Public Library for $35.
