History of Meredith Indian?
My mother is fascinated by this indian. I am hoping the history buffs can shed some light on his name and the history.

kaj: The Indian was "renovated" a few years ago. Here is an article that appeared in the Laconia Citizen

5 1/2 tons?
McDude,
I appreciate your posts, especially historic posts. But 5 1/2 tons of metal (11,000 lbs.)? Let's you and I go out to the island and weigh it. It couldn't be more than a 1/2 ton. I'll bring the kidney belts. |

Oh McDude.....You've done it again!
Great stuff again. I can't believe I've never seen Indian Island or this statue. Could someone tell me how to see it by boat please.

It is in the end of Meredith bay, to the right of the town docks. I don't know how close you can get by boat. (In front of the white hotel with all the window boxes filled with pink flowers I forget the name, not the New Church landing or Mill Falls.) Oops there I go giving directions like a girl!

Look for us too

Pineedles: Do you have a boat? Can you come and pick me up in Alton Bay? I only have a kayak ...and besides being a long way to Meredith ..I'm afraid that a loon might snag me on my way over like this poor guy up in Tamworth...
then....I'd be accused of being a part of that GFBQ crowd (See RELATED THREAD)....and we can't have that!!! |

No worries
McDude,
I have a special PWC that you don't have to worry about being accused of being a part of the GFB crowd. Once were airborne only the FAA will be able to say anything about our speed. Estimated flight time from Alton Bay to Meredith 3 minutes |

We took a paddle boat ride yesterday by this statue yesterday, and I decided this might be the best way to get information on it. Can any historians out there add anything?
