SIS Bank recently announced it made a donation of $2,000 to the Sanford-Springvale Historical Society. As part of the bank’s ongoing commitment to the community, the contribution will help fund the historical society’s renovation of the Edmund E. Goodwin home, adjacent to the Sanford-Springvale Historical Museum. SIS Bank’s donation will help cover the costs of the installation of an alarm system, the restoration of the ground floor rooms, and the modification of the second floor to an area conducive to storing and cataloguing the immense collection of local, historical treasures that have been donated to the museum by the community. The historical society purchased the Goodwin home in June 2014, and the Queen Anne-style house has already undergone extensive renovations. The exterior has been refurbished, and the original parlor furnishings gifted to the museum from the Goodwin family are being refurbished for display. The ground-floor rooms have been partially restored and will be completed as donations will allow. Goodwin was a 19th-century merchant and manufacturer in the Sanford area, who served as a director at the Sanford National Bank. Coincidentally, SIS Bank’s main offices are located in the former home of Sanford National Bank.
