The Wright Museum of WW II always has wonderful exhibits that keep me returning at least once, if not twice, each year. This year’s primary opening exhibit was “Memories of World War II – Photographs from the Associated Press Archives.” There were about 50 black and white photos. Several photos caught my attention. One photo showed German Army soldiers marching into Paris under the Champs-Elysees. Others showed the liberation of German concentration camps and the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Copies of two famous photos were in the collection --- raising the American flag at Iwo Jima and a sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square in NYC. Once again, the museum had more works by Private Charles J. Miller in the exhibit “WW II Paintings from the South Pacific.” Several of his watercolor paintings portrayed combat scenes from the Battle of Kwajalein Atoll in the Republic of the Marshall Islands in January 1944. Others showed scenes of American soldiers engaged in activities such as laundry, watching a movie, and playing a sport. This exhibit was scheduled to end on June 17th; but, due to popular demand, it is being held over until August 12th. I also enjoy revisiting the Time Tunnel, the displays of military vehicles and tanks - especially the Sherman tank named Alice, and the vignettes of WW II life on the homefront with an ice cream parlor, a kitchen, a living room, and a gas station, plus many cases of period jewelry, old cameras telephones, plus other objects. This year, the victory garden near the back of the parking lot was more developed. I rate both exhibits and the museum’s permanent exhibits at 5.0. I highly recommend visiting this museum.

Nostalgic trip through lakeside summers. Race enthusiasts will have a lot to see as well as fun for history lovers of the paddle steamboat. Well put together with a plan underway to build a new facility near the town center. Sad that the white caps on Winnipasaukee kept the Millie B. Chris Craft boat ride down for the day we were there. Docent Nancy was engaging and helpful.

New favorite place in the Lake's region! The BEST beer, fresh quality food, live music on the weekends, and beautiful people make this place a blast! I knew the beer was amazing, but the food is a dazzling display of culinary skill...the finest in Wolfeboro! They have master bartenders in Jen, Dani, and Mike! If you're looking for a place to have a great time...Lone Wolfe is well worth the trip!
