Reading Chebeague's Landscape

with Donna Miller Damon

Saturday, May 7 at 11:00 AM

Estimated duration: one hour

Chebeague Island's architectural styles have a direct connection to its economic and social history. The attendees will be transported back to the mid to late nineteenth century as they walk through the island's East End Neighborhood. They will learn how the style of the houses relates to the changes in the community and how the neighborhood transformed from an independent middle class Victorian community to a tourist mecca. Comfortable shoes are suggested. Donna Miller Damon, a local historian, will lead the walk. The presentation will view the neighborhood from various perspectives and will include a discussion of the Wabnanki, whose land we now call home.
