Oak Lee Lodge/ Shannon Door Pub History

Oak Lee Lodge/ Shannon Door Pub History History page for The Oak Lee Ski Lodge and Barracks in Jackson NH, formerly Maplehurst Cottage and n The Oak Lee Lodge/ Now Shannon Door Pub is a unique place.

If you have any stories or photos to share on this page from the rich history of this gathering place in Jackson New Hampshire, please feel free to share them here. Many people have asked about the Oak Lee Lodge they remember from years ago, with those delicious pizzas they can still taste from afar and those cheeseburgers made on grilled white bread that Dodo used to make back when he was with us

. Dodo had many people in his kitchen back in his day, some even famous from the Wentworth Hall days. And of course there are still famous (and infamous) people there today making new memories and stories. I will try to continue to collect photos and stories from the past and would especially love to find some older photos from the turn of the century when this building was known as Maple Cottage if anyone has them in an old album or attic. I'm going to pass on a few stories of my own though, as the said on "The FBI", "the names may be changed to protect the innocent".

"When I was a lad, and this was before the Beatles, me and my mate, Phil Kelly who lived a few doors up from those hallowed halls, would frequent the premises. The really cool locals/hot s**t skiers, hung there. I remember when Virgil "Cookie" Abbott was sitting with us and Barry (before he was just plain "Bear") Bryant came in to tell him that he had passed his PSIA test (a huge deal then) and tossed him his coveted white badge. The boy beamed, uncharacteristically. I was mostly there to see Alicia. But one night when she and I were in NoCo seeing an Elvis movie, 'a local guy from Gorham' ( Cookie went out with his wicked hottie sister) came in and tried to steal the cigarette machine from the vestibule. Butts were a quarter then and the machine only had four filter-less choices. The owner/Joe/"Dodo" came after him with a snow shovel, for the love of jaypers! and ran his ass off back to where he came from in his father's XKE. Those are only two of the 8,431 stories that come to mind BEFORE the joint became some new name, "Shamin schmanin" or somethin. Different color too". - Peter Case reminiscing about The Oak Lee Lodge circa 1962 We miss you Pater!
