Historian presents talk about local farms, then and now
Historian Tom Clark will present a program about farms in the city when Westbrook Historical Society meets at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 1, in the community center at 426 Bridge St.
Clark will show slides of 30 farms with depictions of them then and now.
The society’s 2022 calendars are now available for pickup. They are $10 each and cost extra to have them mailed.
The calendars feature items on display in the society’s museum. Calendars would also make great Christmas gifts. The society can be reached at 854-5588.
