As a landscape photog, Carroll 2 towns/area offers a lot of stunning beauty all year long.

Pics: Crawford Notch State Park’s Willey House. Hart’s Location was an immediate connection for me because of Samuel Bemis: Bemis was one of the first, if not THE first, American landscape photographer.  On April 15, 1840 he purchased one of the first daguerreotype cameras sold in this country and immediately began to experiment with the new process, taking his first image just four days later.  He took his first  photograph in the White Mountains in June of that year and continued  creating photographs in the area until 1843. Roughly half of his surviving daguerreotypes are in the George Eastman House in Rochester, NY with the others are in public and private collections.   Bartlett Historical Society
