From Terror to Tourism: Crawford Notch and the Willey Slide: Legendary Landscape, Art, Science, & Hi
Advertisement
As we approach the 200th anniversary of the infamous Willey Slide in Crawford Notch, NH, on August 28, 2026, we will explore the history of the event as well as the geography and geology that caused the slide.
We will look at the surprising first artist to depict the site, and those artists that followed. We will examine the role of the event in the rise of tourism in the White Mountains and how visits to the site were promoted in guidebooks, maps, stereoviews, and souvenirs. Finally, we will review what you can see if you visit the area there today.
