AHS August Open House and Monthly Meeting

Monday, August 3, The Appleton HIstorical Society will hold an Open House at our Meetinghouse from 4:00 to 6:00 PM at 2875 Sennebec Rd., in Appleton. A number of AHS members will be present to answer questions about the Meetinghouse and our ongoing Meetinghouse Restoration effort. Light refreshments will be served.

At the open house, we will also show photos of Appleton in the early 20th century, from the Eastern Illustrating and Publishing Collection of Penobscot Marine Museum. We need help creating brief captions for many of these old photos, and hope to receive suggestions for photo captions at the Open House. 

Also on Monday, August 3, we’re pleased to be holding our Monthly Meeting in The Meetinghouse. We ask those who are able, to please park at the Appleton Library and walk up the hill to the Meetinghouse – it is a bit of a strenuous walk. There is also parking for 6 or 7 cars on the lawn of the Meetinghouse. Parking on the edge of Sennebec Road is possible, but not ideal, as traffic moves rapidly up and down Sennebec Road. All cars parked on Sennebec Road must be on the downhill or Meetinghouse side. 

Our business meeting will begin at 6:30 sharp. We'll give a report on Meetinghouse Restoration, what we've accomplished, challenges that lie ahead, and a new strategy. 

Promptly at 7 PM, Jody Bachelder, a resident of Midcoast Maine, will speak on her book….
