In the late 1880's, Benjamin Ames Kimball,found
a spot on Locke's Hill in Gilford, NH overlooking Lake
Winnipesaukee and purchased it to build his summer home
on. It would command a panoramic view of the land around
the Lakes Region, and it must have occurred to him that
he could keep an eye on his marine activities, while listening
to the soothing sound of his locomotives puffing down
the Lakeshore line through Glendale. Kimball’s Castle
would stand tall as one of the greatest summer homes of
New Hampshire for decades to come.
