KENNEBUNK — Town Historian Stephen Spofford will share the history of Kennebunk through archival photographs and little-known stories in the presentation “So You Think You Know Kennebunk?” at the Brick Store Museum on Tuesday, July 29. The one-hour presentation will begin at 5:30 p.m.
What is “the Old Brick?” Where was the original Kennebunk Free Library? How did ships fit down the Kennebunk River? What is leatheroid? Who is Edith Barry? Where are Kennebunk’s old trolley lines? What happened to the 27th Maine Regiment’s Medals of Honor? These are just a few of the mysteries that Spofford will answer. Attendees are encouraged to come prepared with questions.
Tickets are $10 per person, $8 for museum members. No reservations are needed.
Prior to the presentation, visitors are invited to view the museum’s exhibits, including “To Sea: The Maritime Heritage of the Kennebunks” and “Vitamin V: How Food Fought the Second World War.”
All funds raised from the program will go toward museum events throughout 2014.
