I've been adding links, online resources, event notifications and articles to http://www.earlymaine.org/ for a little over three years and have worked on a variety of Maine history related websites since 1998.  Still, every one in a while, I come across a new organization or website that I haven't heard of before.

Today I learned of the Ancient Landmarks Society of Parsonsfield (ALSOP) in an article that I came across on the internet entitled "Genealogy junkies find links to the past" at:

http://blog.inthegazette.com/2008/05/09/genealogy-junkies-find-links-to-the-past--may-9-2008.aspx

The Society is meeting on May 18th from 10am to 3pm and is looking for new members.  During the meeting, guests can make use of materials from the non-lending library.

For more information about the ALSOP and their upcoming meeting, you can visit the organization's home page (home.psouth.net/~willy/mb.htm) or email the Treasurer, Sumner Thompson, at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

Today marks the 75th anniversary of a fire in Ellsworth that left 400 people homeless and destroyed more than 100 buildings.  The event is the subject of a new book due out this summer.

 For more information about the fire, and the upcoming book, which includes interviews and newspaper articles, visit the Bangor Daily News story at:

Norlands Update

LIVERMORE -- The crown jewel of the Washburn-Norlands Living History Center -- an Italianate grand mansion where one of Maine's most illustrious families once lived -- still stands after a fire struck the property Monday.

The building's survival was cold comfort to 19-year-old Dylan Clark, who stood in the rain the next day, staring at the smoldering pile of rubble where an attached farmer's cottage and dairy barn had burned to the ground.

For Clark, who has volunteered and worked at the center since he was 14, those two buildings represented the heart of Norlands, as the center is known to generations of schoolchildren who have visited since it opened to the public in 1974.
