New Hampshire’s Lake Winnipesaukee is the state’s largest body of water. Dotted along its shores are several picturesque small towns that have been welcoming visitors since the Granite State’s early days. The town of Meredith has been doing so since its incorporation in 1768, and its appeal is timeless.

The small town of Meredith is situated along the eastern side of Lake Winnipesaukee. Like many New Hampshire towns, its beginnings were in farming and agriculture before shifting toward tourism due to its location.
