Lake Winnipesaukee is home to the oldest floating post office in the country! Dating back to 1892, this New Hampshire maritime mail service delivers to island residents across the lake during the summer months. Originally established to serve communities otherwise cut off from the mainland, the service has become a beloved tradition and symbol of the lake’s rich heritage.

If you want to learn about more history like this, book a private boat tour with us on Lake Winnipesaukee to get a behind-the-scenes look at local traditions, island homes, and historical landmarks! Our captains can steer a boat and spin a yarn so sit back and enjoy a story while you take in the scenery.
