HIRAM — Come meet the intrepid White Mountains pioneer Dolly Copp (1808-1891), also known as the Belle of Bartlett, as portrayed by Carol Foord, of Freedom, and Hiram, Maine, on Saturday, July 12, at 1:30 p.m. at Hiram Historical Society located at the Great Ossipee Museum (former Mount Cutler School) at 20 Historical Ridge (off Schoolhouse Road, off Route 117 Main Street) in Hiram village.
Discover how this energetic and tough woman managed to survive difficult times to become a beloved local legend. She will recount how she and her husband Hayes carved a farmstead and inn from a wilderness grant in Pinkham Notch at the base of Mount Washington. Even after the grand hotels were being built, patrons returned for her home-cooked meals and to purchase her sweet honey, maple sugar and her famous apple butter. A National Forest Campground on the site of the Copps' homestead grant immortalizes the name Dolly Copp.
