The reading room at the Museum and Archives is open by appointment for researchers. Mondays and Wednesdays are the best days, but others can be arranged. Narramissic is now closed for the season and will re-open next spring. The grounds are always open--hiking and picnic tables available all fall.
A paid internship at Narramissic during the summer is now available.
Bridgton, a book from Arcadia Press written by Ned Allen, is now available. The book 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.
