The formula for success in Lincoln, New Hampshire is that the town continues to plan for the future by remembering its past. Even as Loon Mountain real estate development continues, the town of Lincoln strives to maintain and protect its impressive natural features so that it will remain enjoyable and welcoming for future generations.

Lincoln is in the heart of the White Mountains, bordering the Pemigewasset River and has always appealed to those seeking out a great life within the abundance of the New England landscape. The town was settled in 1782, and the first hotel dates to 1805. In 1813, the state built a road up to Franconia Notch, an early wilderness destination for outdoor enthusiasts. As the industrial age arrived, logging, paper mills and furniture factories flourished.

The industries that helped settle Lincoln have largely faded into the past. But the visitors who came to Lincoln on the early logging railroads started a tradition that today has built into a strong local economy based on skiing, hiking, fishing and camping. And, of course, generations later they're still traveling to Lincoln and Loon® Mountain to enjoy its natural beauty, just as the first explorers did more than 200 years ago.
