Vintage Postcards Feature Historic Bethlehem, New Hampshire

The White Mountains in New Hampshire, where Littleton is located, contain many small towns and hamlets, such as nearby Bethlehem, shown in these postcard views a century ago. With over 50 hotels and guests houses to choose from, weary travelers could go from the Boston & Maine rail station to their hotel by stage – if they were lucky enough to be guests at the Maplewood Hotel. Today, the railroad and hotel are gone, but the hotel's casino building operates as a small inn, and the Maplewood golf course is open to the public. The historic town of Bethlehem is only 5 miles from Littleton, should you visit.

This vintage 1909 postcard features the historic Bethlehem Railroad Station.
