Discover the wild history of Newport’s own Gilded Age estate! In the late 1800s, wealthy businessman Austin Corbin returned to Newport, New Hampshire. He built a massive estate and bought up neighboring farms to create a giant 22,000-acre private wildlife park. He filled it with exotic animals like boar, bison, elk, and antelope. The park became a famous hunting ground for historic guests, including Theodore Roosevelt, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and Joe DiMaggio. Join us for a fascinating presentation featuring rare, old photographs. We will explore the complicated legacy of Austin Corbin and look at how his family—along with naturalist Ernest Baynes—helped save the American bison from extinction.

“Great Decisions” Meets Tonight in the Walpole Town Library

Just a quick reminder that “Great Decisions” meets tonight (Monday) at 6:00 p.m. in the Walpole Library with Adrian Basora as moderator of our discussion. We will examine the impacts of Trump’s “America First” foreign policy on our allies and rivals and within our country. Is the “Liberal International Order” forever demolished?
