BOB GOULD
Bob is a collector of postcards of railroad stations and can tell you
about them all across the US. He is also a great story teller. Bob
Gould knows legends and history in Hollis, particularly in the north
end of town where he lived on the Gould Farm at the corner of Silver
Lake and Plain Roads. There were two ponds at that intersection one of
which he helped fill in. These ponds are referred to in the very early
history of the town. There was a shop near them at which Valentine
Harris and the Kendrick brothers worked. The legend of the cannon
house and cannon is also located at that corner warning the north end
of town that the British were coming. There is also the legend of the
queen’s necklace and Pennichuck Pond.
He was interviewed April 3, 2002 about Woodmont Orchard, the area
around the ponds, the ice business, the cider mills, other mills,
wooden plates and early farming including strawberries. Be sure to
check this CD out of the library and hear Bob tell these stories.
