The Weirs Times is a full color weekly newspaper which tells the history, humor and happenings of New Hampshire's Lakes Region and beyond. The paper, first published in 1883 by Mathew H. Calvert, was named Calvert's Weirs Times and Tourists' Gazette and continued until Mr. Calvert's death in 1902. The new Weirs Times began publication in 1992 and strives to maintain the patriotic spirit of its predecessor as well as his devotion to the interests of Lake Winnipesaukee and vicinity. Currently 30,000 copies are distributed across the entire state from as far North as Bethlehem and as far south as Portsmouth. The Weirs Times has grown since its beginnings in 1992 and is now one of NH's largest weekly newspapers.
