Presentation: The History of Merrymeeting Lake From the 1700’s To The 1960’s (Video)

On Saturday, September 7th, New Durham’s town historian Catherine Orlowicz gave a wonderful presentation to a highly engaged crowd of New Durham residents, covering the history of Merrymeeting Lake and River from the 1700s to the 1960s, sharing historic photographs and maps of the lake and river.

If you weren’t able to attend or would like to rewatch Cathy’s presentation, Tom Mottl graciously recorded the event and has provided us with an edited recording that you can watch above. We are so grateful first to Cathy, for her meticulous research and wonderfully detailed presentation, and also to Tom for capturing this informative event.
