Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

On vacation in the Laconia area, I went to Weirs Beach a couple of days. On my second visit, I wanted to find Endicott Rock. I‘d looked for it once before. This time, I had a better idea of where to find it. It was in the pavilion next to the Weirs Channel. I’d seen the pavilion before and thought it might be for restrooms.
It was named for John Endicott, Governor of Massachusett Bay Colony in 1652. At that time, surveyors were sent to mark boundary lines of the colony as per the charter. The northern boundary was supposed to be 3 miles north of the Merrimack River which is much further north of this place. They were misled by Native American guides either by accident or deliberately. The large rock at this place was carved with Endicott’s name, the initials of the surveyors, and the year 1652.
The curious thing about this is that the rock was forgotten until 1833 when the Weirs Channel was dredged.
Once discovered again, the state took steps to protect it. The pavilion was built around it.
Now, approaching 200 years later, the pavilion is still doing a great job in preserving this piece of history.
There is plaque from a Massachusetts historical group at the site.
I wasn’t quite sure what to make of the figure atop the pavilion. Was it a Native American? Was it supposed to represent John Endicott? I lean a little more towards Endicott.
Parking is at the lot that people also use for Weirs Beach. The City of Laconia charges $2.50 per hour. Times of 15-minute intervals can be purchased.
SIDE NOTE: As far as historic rocks go, this one is 100% legitiimate as the inscription on it is authentic. And, that’s more than can be said for Plymouth Rock which is more symbolic than genuine.
For its historic value, I rate Endicott Rock State Historic Site at 4.0 and can recommend a visit. Anyone going to Weirs Beach should make the short walk over to the channel area to see this very small state historic site.
The reason for the delay in submitting this review was due to a months-long loss of my ability to post photos with my reviews and some health issues.

Früher für die ersten Siedler zum Abstecken ihrer Territorien von Bedeutung. Heute nur interessant, wenn man schon mal da ist.

Nothing overly special, just another monument, which is the reason for the average rating. The main attraction is really the excellent beach that is Endicott Rock Park where the Endicott Rock can be seen.
Note parking at the park is $10, or you can get nearby meter parking on the street for only 25 cents per 30 minutes.

It is a nice monument but a little disappointing that the rock is in a caged enclosure. If you are in the area you might stop by and see it.

It'll take 10 minutes to check this out. It's a rock under a cage with a statue on top of it. The rock was originally an island in the middle of this channel. Now it's been merged with the land and is a park. Checking out the inscriptions on the rock is really neat. Lots of people get their photo taken next to it in the same pose as the indian.

A giant enclosure sits over the top surface of this rock in the ground, which could be any other rock along the shore. Maybe too many people were standing on it? Don't plan your day around it, I came, I saw, I reviewed it.

You boat by it every time you go in or out of Paugus Bay to the Lake. It is interesting history, but only worth visiting if you are on Weirs Beach with time to kill.

This rock is much better than an anticlimactic visit to Plymouth Rock! The Indian sculpture atop the structure over the rock is modeled on the native Indians that lived and fished in Weirs Beach. ´Weirs´means fishing basket. The park surrounding the beach and channel with boats floating by is very idyllic and great for a picnic.
