I visited here over the weekend and I’m curious about what looks like cellarholes to the side of the path to the Falls. Does anyone know the history of the location?

I visited Profile Falls for the first time a little over a year ago in the beginning of May 2020 w/ a local group. The waterfall and scenery were absolutely breath taking. I am a very spiritual woman and so as I was wading in the creek by the waterfall looking for quartz crystal stones, I found 3 heart shaped stones. Immediately, I thought about my upcoming wedding day and since than I’ve had my mind set on having my wedding by the waterfall where I found the heart shaped stones. The projected date is Oct 16th @ 3pm with a tiny ceremoney of less than 10 people. I am hoping that this wedding is able to happen here. I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to have a tiny wedding, a spiritual gathering, or just a meditation hike through nature. Profile Falls is my favorite place in NH! 🙂
