Generous Mobile-Home Caretaker Leaves $3.8m Legacy to New Hampshire Town

Geoffrey Holt, an unassuming caretaker of a mobile home park in Hinsdale, New Hampshire, surprised everyone when he left his entire $3.8 million fortune to the town of Hinsdale in his will. Holt, who lived a simple life and rarely left town, gave instructions for the money to benefit the community in the areas of education, health, recreation, and culture. The town is now considering various ideas for utilizing the funds, such as upgrading the town hall clock, restoring buildings, or setting up an online drivers' education course. Holt's generous gift has put the forgotten corner of Hinsdale on the map.
