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!

Research Requests

 Eventually we plan to provide on-line catalogs and inventories of our more significant holdings.

We're eager to help with your genealogical and scholarly research questions, even if you cannot visit us in person. Volunteer and Life Trusteee, Evelyn Lamb, is our genealogist. If your question requires just a few minutes to answer, and the reply can be an e-mail or a few photocopied pages, there is no charge for this service (although donations are always welcome!). More time-consuming projects will be handled for $15 per hour, one hour mimumum. E-mail the Historical Society at info@bridgtonhistory.org. Please include your mailing address! For many queries, the quickest, and therefore least expensive way to respond is with a few photocopied pages.

Cemetery Records

The Bridgton Cemetery Records are being kept up-to-date by Evelyn Lamb, assisted by Linda Johnson. Evelyn and the late Lois Lane initiated the project by listing burials and information on each of the 29 town and private cemetaries. Books containing this information are available for reference at the Museum. Books are consulted frequently by those individuals doing genealogical research.
