Lake Winnipesaukee is full of unique charms. In this Season 2 segment of “Weekends with Yankee” (Episode 211), we delve into the story of Sophie C, America’s oldest floating post office, which has been delivering mail to the lake’s island residents since 1969. Sophie C is more than just a fully operational post office; it also serves as a passenger boat, connecting people and places across the lake. Beyond its role as a mail carrier, Sophie C brings the community together, fostering connections among the lake’s inhabitants.
