I hope that Devylders keep the farm open for seasonal plants, apples etc.
Does anyone know?

I believe I read that the owner was selling the grocery store to devote more time to his apple orchard. Therefore, I think you are all set.

Downtown 1940s Wolfeboro doesn't look much different from present day Wolfeboro. However, one difference is the Elm trees that are long gone. They were a nice touch.

It sure does McDude! But I think at that time I was either in that baby carriage (except that's not my mother) or not born yet. I don't know how long the First National was there.
You can see Tobey's drug store in the picture too, what great ice cream they had!

I have shopped at both DeVylder's and Hunter's IGA in Wolfeboro and have found that the prices at the IGA are much lower. The IGA is definiely smaller but there have been very few items I have not been able to get there. I refuse to drive the 10+ miles further to Hannafords just to go to a chain grocery. I truly enjoy the small town grocer. Besides, where else can you actually have someone bring your groceries out to your car without asking?

Now that Hannaford's is in Alton there isn't much need to go to Wolfeboro. I always preferred DeVylder's. Seemed to do the trick for a week-end at the cottage with their homemade items, pastries/breads, deli, salad bar etc. I must admit that its' proximity to the state liquor store made it very convenient!

These buildings are on the original site of back bay, which was slowly filled in when the town used the area as a dumping site.
