Talking Governor's Island Mansion

The mansion was leased out to the German Embassy in 1903 for Ambassador Count Von Sternburg as a summer outpost.
Other political visitors to this impressive mansion were President's Grover Cleveland and Theodore Roosevelt.



This photograph is from one of my favorite books on the history of our great lake, The Gunstock Parish by Adair D. Mulligan. I strongly encourage anyone who is interested in Lake Winnipesaukee’s history and life here in the early days to order this incredible piece of literature by visiting the Thompson-Ames Historical Society of Gilford New Hampshire.
A must read bargain at $35.
