DoomsdaysCWUm, so, as much as I have fond memories of my youth [mis]spent at #SalisburyBeach, this is just a waste of money. The amusement park is long gone -- replaced by condos and unaffordable housing. And they did this already, and the storm surge just washed it away! Tear down the houses and restore the marshes. smh!

History of Salisbury Beach
Salisbury Beach History
December 19, 2022
"Salisbury is a historic town that was first frequented by paleo-indians and Native-Americans for thousands of years and eventually settled by English colonists in the 17th century.
"The beach and salt marsh itself was used primarily as hunting and fishing grounds by the Native Americans and then as pastureland for the colonist’s cattle until the 19th century when it suddenly became a popular summer tourist destination.
"The following is a timeline of the history of Salisbury Beach:
"8500-8000 BP: Paleo-indians build an earthen burial mound about 6-8 feet high at a place called Morrill Point, somewhere near the mouth of the Merrimack River in Salisbury.
"Pre-colonial Era: The #Penacook tribe travel down the Merrimack River from Concord, New Hampshire in the summers to fish and hunt at the #wetlands at Salisbury Beach."
