There are few folks who would like to see the Balsams once again become a viable hotel and destination more than John Harrigan.

He has grown up in the shadow of this Grande Hotel, caddied its golf course, dined with owners Neil & Louise Tillotson at their special table and generally observed more than 60 years of its history from within and without.
Yet, today John is not optimistic about the future of the beloved resort.

In this episode of New Hampshire Secrets, Legends & Lore, John Harrigan reflects on the history of the Balsams and its tenuous future prospects.
