Most Lakes Region towns organize their summer around a downtown. Wolfeboro has Main Street and the docks. Meredith has Mill Falls. Laconia has the Colonial Theatre and Veterans Square. Moultonborough, by design and by geography, does not work that way. The town has more Winnipesaukee shoreline than any other in New Hampshire, and its summer program follows the shoreline and the mountain rather than a village grid.
If you already live here, you know this instinctively. Your July calendar is built around a drive up Route 171 and a drive down Lees Mill Road, with the Old Country Store and Moulton Farm filling in the middle. This year, both of those anchor institutions are running unusually specific programming worth planning around.
