Jackson, a "spot of gold in the White Mountains," has changed a great deal since it was first settled by Captain Joseph Pinkham in 1789.
During the late 1800s and early 1900s, up to forty trains a day brought visitor.
From such humble beginnings Jackson grew into one of the premier resort locations in the Northeast.
With no road from Bartlett, Pinkham and his family traveled through snow five feet deep with their meager belongings drawn on a sled harnessed to the family hog to get to the area.
