Scope and Content:

Undated photographic print of the original building of the Snowshoe Club in Concord, NH. The caption reads, "Snowshoe Club. The beginning of this club may be traced to the love of snowshoe tramping on the part of Dr. Edward French, Edward W. Batchelder, Hery [Henry] B. Colby, and a few companions, who, during the winter of 1888, had formed themselves into a little company for that purpose. The sport became popular, and with the increase of snowshoers came a talk of putting up some kind of shelter, merely for rest and refreshment/ The site finally chosen was admirably adapted. Montvue park, just to the north of Little pond, commanding view of mountain ridges to the north and west. It was here that the members built their house."
