“Skowhegan Falls- Shifting Currents of Industry- ”- Vision & Fortitude
from Melvin BurnhamEnhanced images and early Sanborn maps will be used in this interactive presentation to illustrate the vision and fortitude that our early settlers and community leaders demonstrated as they established a foot-hold in the wilderness along the Kennebec River at Skowhegan Falls. The discussion will wind through the necessity of home manufacturing, community and industrial development at the falls and beyond. Yes, caskets, scythes, bricks, chisels, oil cloth, pulp and paper, hay caps, crackers, and even Warren Buffet might sneak into the discussion. (from )
