Beginning in 2015, the members of the Little Sunapee Protective Association embarked on a project of researching and documenting the history of the lake and its inhabitants. A number of families have lived in the area for generations and shared their memories and photographs with the larger membership. In 2016 and 2017, the association hosted the following presentations of the history of the lake and its changing landscape over the past 100 years.
