Save the Date! Oct 26 Fall Open House

**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE**

Public Invited to Fall Open House at Camden Rockport-Historical Society

The Camden-Rockport Historical Society invites the community to its Fall Open House on Saturday, October 26th from 12  PM to 2 PM at the historical society grounds, located at 30 Conway Road (next to Hannaford on the Camden-Rockport line). 

Join us for guided tours of the historic Conway-Thorndike homestead and browse the grounds and other buildings with fellow history enthusiasts. Guests will have the opportunity to learn about the homestead’s significance as well as the other buildings, including barn, blacksmith shop, and museum. 

A few highlights include a demonstration of  traditional glazing techniques for historic window repair by local artist and history expert Donald Rainville, traditional fiddle music played live by Anderson Gray, and a display of local maps and a digital image slideshow in the museum. 

For those who would like to join us a little early, there will be a dedication and unveiling of the newly renovated Camden Rotary Caretakers Cottage at 11:00AM. This is an exciting partnership made possible by the generosity of local Rotarians in celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the Camden Rotary Club. This small home, vacant for years, was originally donated to the historical society by Mary Meeker Cramer, and will once again provide year round housing at a reasonable cost to locally employed people. 

The public is also welcome to attend our Annual Meeting. Join us in preserving our history and celebrating our community!

The Camden-Rockport Historical Society is dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich history of Camden and Rockport, Maine. Through educational programs, exhibitions, and community events, we strive to foster a deeper understanding of our heritage and inspire future generations.
