The Blynn Davis Memorial Archives is open all year by appointment for researchers. In July and August, the Museum and Archives will be open Wednesday-Friday from 10-3. Although appointments are not necessary during this time, researchers are encouraged to contact us in advance so that we can better meet their needs. Narramissic will be open for house tours Thursday-Saturday from 10-3 in July and August. The grounds are always open during daylight hours -- hiking and picnic tables are available.
Bridgton, a book from Arcadia Press written by Ned Allen, is full of wonderful old images of Bridgton, nearly all of which are from the Bridgton Historical Society collections. Go to the Store section of our website to order it today!
The Raise the Roof Campaign to replace the Temperance Barn roof at Narramissic, the Peabody-Fitch Farm, is now underway. Thanks to a generous grant from the Kendal and Anna Ham Charitable Foundation, we are already over one-third of the way to our goal of raising $30,000 for this project. Donations may be sent to the Bridgton Historical Society, PO Box 44, Bridgton, Maine or made using our new PayPal donate button. Be sure to let us know that it is for the Roof Campaign. Thank you!
Your webmaster has completed transferring all photos and text concerning the Narrow Gauge Railroad from the old BHS website. Please check out the new layout and visit some of the other links to other NGRR websites. The WW & FRY site is of particular interest as it includes a section on the B & SR RR in its discussion forum.
I always enjoy reading Connections and was pleased to see you have a new web page. It's looking great so far. My only suggestion would be that some of us would be happy to have some instructions regarding posting comments--I hope I'm doing it right.
How nice to see that Great-grandpa's book, 90 Years of Living, is still available. I've given copies to my children, but maybe it's time to get some for my grandchildren as well.
I wish I lived close enough to visit. Maybe some day.
