A Bit of History
Mount Pemigewasset towers over Indian Head Resort, its profile nicknamed ‘Indian Head’ because, from certain angles, it resembles a human face. The trees atop the mountain evoke the appearance of a traditional headdress, paying homage to the Indigenous Abenaki people who inhabited the White Mountains long before English settlers arrived. Indian Head Resort was established in 1913 by Ray Gordon, who transformed the former Guernsey family farm into Indian Head Estate. After offering lodging to stray hunters, Gordon realized the potential of providing accommodations and meals, which led to the evolution of the estate into a resort.
