Amherst-Bedford Ski Area/Bragdon Farm

Several nearby schools trained at the hill, which also had night skiing. The area was located on Route 101 on the Amherst/Bedford border. State Senator Peter Bragdon's grandfather owned and operated this ski area, and Peter provides us with the following detailed history of the area: The Amherst-Bedford Ski Tow operated from 1936 to the late 1960�s or early 1970�s, with the exception of �the war years�, on Bragdon�s Hill on State Route 101 in Amherst, NH. The ski tow was started in 1936 by Amherst farmer Orson Bragdon, Sr.
