Gravestone Photo Project - Another Milestone

More than 100 records have been added to the Gravestone Photo Project at http://gravestones.earlyMaine.org in the past week, and that brings our total count up past 4,400

Thanks so much to everyone that has taken the time to add one or a hundred records to the database.  This is by far the most popular part of the earlyMaine.org site and I'm excited every spring when the photos start coming in again.

Thank you to all the volunteers who haveuploaded their photos and to all the visitors who continue to make this project worth while!

Belgrade Town House Could See Some Work

As reported by Mechele Cooper of the Kennebec Journal:

BELGRADE -- A group in town wants residents to consider restoring the 1815 Town House.

Nancy Mairs, town historian and member of the Belgrade Historical Society, said people would first have to weigh in on the decision.

The building could have many uses, including as a place for the historical society to meet and store its collection of artifacts.
