While Meredith NH is fast becoming a more desirable lakeside resort town, with quaint shops and spas on Lake Winnipesaukee such as Lady of the Lake, Personal Days Day Spa, the Inns at Mills Fall and Church Landing, those of us who have been in Meredith, or the surrounding Belknap County for many years, love it for the many ways that it hasn't changed.

Some of the Inter-Lakes teachers at the schools teaching our children today were our teachers when we were kids. The warmth and joy that they took in our learning is something that we know our own children have been able to experience in the Meredith School system. Inter-lakes School District, the school system for Meredith Center- Harbor and Sandwich residents, was recently ranked the 4th best school system in the state of New Hampshire.

Lydia Torr, our recently retired Meredith librarian, has a warmth that transformed the Meredith library into a more vibrant and happy place than the word "library" normally connotes. We know the Meredith town policeman, Meredith physicians, and the many of the year round Meredith residents, which helps to inspire a feeling of safety in this Lakes Region where we are raising our families. The natural beauty of Meredith is attracting new summer and year-round residents and slowly we are seeing the demographic change.
