Granite Lake resident John Cucchi has put together a series of videos that tell the story of our community's history and beauty and why we feel AT&T needs to locate its cell tower somewhere else (we've found multiple other sites in the last six months):
1. In the first video we see Granite Lake as it was in the past along with pictures of one of its most famous residents, Dr. Charles Eastman, Native American physician and co-founder of the Boy Scouts of America. It's titled "Twin Mountain History."
This blog was created by a group of people faced with the inappropriate siting of a cell tower in Stoddard, New Hampshire. During the struggle to relocate the tower, much was learned that might be helpful to others. To this end we share our information and experience...

Native Americans Angered at AT&T's Proposed Cell Tower on "The Hill of Vision"
Press Release being sent out today to local and national media:
AT&T’s request to New Hampshire's Stoddard Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) for a Special Exception to construct a 150-foot cell phone tower has stirred the ire of the Santee Dakota Sioux, headquartered in Flandreau, S.D.
The proposed cell tower would loom over Stoddard’s pristine Granite Lake community atop Melville Hill, once owned by renowned Native American Dr. Charles Eastman (1858-1939) and named by him “The Hill of Vision.” Eastman’s daughter Irene, a victim of an influenza epidemic that swept the area in 1918, is buried on the hill.

Cucchis inform ZBA of FCC Petition Re Historic Sites
To the Stoddard Zoning Board of Adjustment,
We have been in contact with the New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources
and the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance. They have advised us of the following:
We understand that AT&T has an obligation to consider any historical properties
within a 1/2 mile radius from the proposed cell tower. We believe there are two
historical sites within the 1/2 mile radius that have been overlooked - Camp Oahe
and Camp Notre Dame. Out of the 1/2 mile radius is the historic center of Munsonville,
which includes the General Store and Post Office properties and the Chapel By
The Lake/UMC.
