Raise the Roof Campaign

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!
