CASCO – In recognition of the 200th anniversary of the historic Quaker Ridge Meeting House in Casco, Betsy Crofts, a trustee of the house, will be speaking at the Raymond-Casco Historical Society Museum on Route 302 in Casco at 1 p.m. on Sunday, June 29.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. During the 1800s, it served as both a school and meeting house for Quakers in the area, who were also referred to as the Religious Society of Friends. Thus, the house has also been called the Friends Meetinghouse.

Crofts has family ties to Quaker Ridge going back to the early 1800s and has researched the history of the house through a number of sources. There is no admission fee, although donations are always welcome.

The Quaker Ridge Meeting House in Casco will be the topic of discussion during a Raymond-Casco Historical Society meeting June 29.
