Unassuming New Hampshire Man Leaves $3.8 Million to Small Town

Geoffrey Holt's surprising bequest to Hinsdale aims to benefit education, health, recreation, and culture.

Geoffrey Holt, a seemingly unassuming caretaker of a mobile home park in Hinsdale, New Hampshire, left $3.8 million to the town in his will.
Holt lived a simple life, rarely leaving town, and was known for his frugality and love for his community.
The funds are to be used to benefit the community in the areas of education, health, recreation, and culture.
Residents and officials have proposed various uses for the money, including upgrading the town hall clock, restoring buildings, and setting up an online drivers' education course.
Holt's surprising generosity has brought attention to Hinsdale, a small town previously described as a 'forgotten corner' of New Hampshire.
