An old fire truck, the South Berwick town hall when it used to be in a church, sheep known as the Berwick Flock, and a mystery house on Witchtrot Road – these are all examples of local historic photos featured in a new calendar for 2010, published by the Old Berwick Historical Society.
Selling for $12, the calendars are now available at South Berwick Pharmacy, the Counting House Museum and all Old Berwick Historical Society events. Proceeds benefit the museum and the society’s year-round public local history events.
Each calendar contains 14 large historic photographs and an excerpt of the map of South Berwick from the Atlas of York County, 1872. The map identifies individual houses by the owner’s name.
The Counting House Museum, owned by the historical society, is a repository for documents, photographs and historic curiosities covering a spectrum of community life in and around the Berwicks. It is open weekends from 1 to 4 pm through October and year round by appointment. Admission is free.
