BRUNSWICK — Growstown School will host an annual open house and harvest bake sale 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.

The 1850s school at Church and Woodside roads is one of the last one-room schoolhouses in Maine, maintained as a living history center.

At the event, each participant is assigned the name of a child who actually attended the school more than 150 years ago. Through role-playing, the students and accompanying adults become 19thcentury “scholars,” studying the same lessons and performing the same tasks as did the children whose names they bear.

For more information, call Linda Clement at 729-8563.
