In 1911 the U.S. Congress passed the Appalachian-White Mountains Forest Reservation Bill, an act that founded the National Forest system of federally-owned forests. The was the opening bell for the White Mountain National Forest that spreads across the northern part of the state and into Maine. The law became known as The Weeks Act and it celebrates its centennial this year.
Massachusetts Senator John Wingate Weeks grew up in the north country of New Hampshire and, although he moved to Massachusetts, he kept a strong and life-long relationship with his home town. Just before the Weeks Act was passed by Congress, Senator Weeks, in 1910, began to buy up old farms on the sides of Prospect Mountain, just south of Lancaster New Hampshire. After buying several hundred acres he built himself a country mansion and called it Mount Prospect. Intended as a summer getaway, Senator Weeks called it “the lodge” and spent much of his free time there.
