Wildwood - New Hampshire Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

Long Description:
Marker reads:
In this area of Easton, once part of Landaff, and before that, Lincoln, the village of Wildwood once stood. Wildwood was a farming community in the early 1800s. Later, during the Great Depression, it hosted New Hampshire’s first CCC camp. At the turn of the 20th century, Wildwood reached its peak of development. As a center for the “slash and run” logging of Mount Moosilauke, Wildwood had a school, a post office, and sawmills. West of here was a dam used in the drives that moved logs down the Wild Ammonoosuc River, from the mountains to the mills.
