Historical society annual meeting

The Buxton-Hollis Historical Society, 100 Main St., Bar Mills, will hold its annual meeting from 5-9 p.m. Saturday, Nov.3, with election of officers, a potluck dinner and a program.

Nancy Ponzetti, historian and teacher, will speak on the confederacy of the Wabanaki, “People of the Dawn.”

“The Wabnaki are the first people of the area of Northeastern New England and Maritime Canada, living here for over 12,000 years. At one time, there were more than 20 nations of the Wabanaki Confederacy. There are only four nations still in existence in Maine: the Maliseet, Micmac, Passamaquoddy, and Penobscot. More than 16 nations were completely destroyed,” the historical society said in an announcement.

To reserve a seat and let the group know of your potluck contribution, call 929-4592. Suggested donations are $10; seniors, $8.
