CONWAY — Newcomers to Mount Washington Valley may be surprised to learn that where Settlers Green now stands was once home to Wylie Apte Sr. and Jr.’s White Mountain Airport.

All that's left of that past is the current New Balance Store at the entrance to the shopping complex that was built by Robert Barsamian and sister Lisa Green of OVP Management Inc. in 1988 after they bought the airport from Apte. Jr. in 1985.
