ZEALAND AND
JAMES EVERELL HENRY
The village of Zealand grew up in 1875 to
serve the logging industry. Henry owned 10,000
acres in the heart of the White Mtns., with
a 10-mile railroad to move logs from forest
to sawmill. The village had a post office,
school, housing, and charcoal kilns to
eke out every bit of forest value. Depending
on the season, the logging business employed
80-250 men. By 1885, Henry left the Valley
moving to Lincoln, leaving the are mostly
clear cut. From 1886-1903, fires destroyed the
valley and village.
