If you've ever wondered about the history of the region from a long time ago, now is your chance to learn about it all! Dinner will be provided during this special event as well!
Anatole Brown, Archive and Special Collections Manager of the Dyer Library and longtime Museum Educator at the Saco Museum will share all about the early days of Saco Bay's coastal communities, including Ferry Beach, Camp Ellis, Ocean Park and Old Orchard Beach. Together we'll look at many never-before-seen archival photos of the early worship campgrounds, beachside neighborhoods and old houses, as well as the dazzling Victorian resorts and the ever-fascinating Dummy Train. We will explore the history of the region and how these beachside communities developed and why are they so different?

Community dinners happen every month from September-May, each with a new topic, speaker and menu. These dinners are an incredible way to learn about new topics, meet and mingle with your neighbors and friends while enjoying dinner.
