Chapman-Hall House Stewardship Committee and Bath Savings Bank will sponsor an annual shredding event on Friday in Damariscotta. Visit the Bath Savings Bank parking lot next to the Chapman-Hall House, which is located at 270 Main St., from 8 a.m. to noon.

Now that tax time is over, take advantage of this opportunity to clean out old financial papers, ancient bank statements and other documents for shredding by professionals. This shredding event is a safe and convenient way to dispose of old records. Volunteers will be on hand to provide assistance with getting bags, boxes or even truckloads of papers into the shredder. While there is no set charge for this service, donations to support educational programs and for the maintenance of the Chapman-Hall House are appreciated.

The Chapman-Hall House is one of three historic sites under the care of the Lincoln County Historical Association. The Lincoln County Historical Association is a nonprofit organization that provides stewardship for the 1754 Chapman-Hall House, the 1761 Pownalborough Court House in Dresden and the 1811 Old Jail and Museum in Wiscasset.
