Hey ..... here's a new angle .... it says ..... "Areas adjacent to this property are also listed on the National Register for their archaeological significance" ..... and is considered to be a "major Native American archaeological site." "The Native American village, whose archaeological remains extends for a half mile along the river and a quarter mile along the lake, has been documented through archaeological investigation to have evidence of settlement from 9,000 BCE to the late seventeenth century."

Any chance this 8.17 acres of undeveloped hilltop and hillside land maybe once was home turf for the Abenaki Native Americans who maybe used the hill top location for its outstanding lake views?

One fine day, many moons ago, one Abenaki was looking out at the big lake, taking in the big VIEW and exclaim to another Abenaki: "Look-um there ..... what-a-VIEW! .... someday this land be worth heap big money when no-good white man get here and ruin everything with over-development ..... ugh!" .....

The very nearby New Hampshire Veterans' Association Historic District ...... http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Ha...toric_District has 7.7-acres with 18 historic buildings, is what it says .... and has been there since 1875, and purchased the land in 1924 from the railroad with assistance from the N.H. legislature for $4000 ..... http://weirsbeach.com/reasons-to-vis...tory/veterans/ ..... Does it pay property tax or is that a dumb question?

Wonder if the 8.17 acre hill top lot and the 7.7-acre Veterans' Assn lot are abutters and have a boundary line in common? Who knows .... maybe the N.H. Veteran's Assn will go for the gold and choose to sell their land for the big money it could get and move everything out to New Hampton-Rt 104, out back that large state liquor store, and create a very happening Civil War-N.H.Veterans' family amusement park just like www.dollywood.com in Tennessee! They could set up an old cannon and everyone could go there and get blasted! ..... spend money on historical Civil War venues that create Civil War jobs and raise revenue .... all year long .... 52-weeks ..... and give all the Exit-23 tourists a good new spot to hit

Looking down the road five to ten years ahead, maybe this new development to be built by https://maggiore.co will make the N.H. Veterans' Assn a 24-carat golden offer for their 7.7-acre land and the N.H. Veterans' Assn will choose to take it.

Another place for the NH Veterans Assoc to relocate could be a back lot that's close to Ahern State Park and the former location of the infamous Laconia State School which would keep their new Civil War tourist venue remaining inside Laconia as well.

Did you know that Lakeside Ave, Weirs Beach area used to be a year-round residential neighborhood up till 1696 ..... www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquadoctan ..... "one of the largest known Native American villages in what is now the U.S. state of New Hampshire" ....... so many many moons ago! ..... "evidence of settlement from 9,000 BCE to the late seventeenth century."

"Colonial reports document that the site was abandoned substantially in 1696, when most of New Hampshire's remaining native population withdrew to join the Pequawket at present-day Fryeburg, Maine."
