This undated photo shows “Let Petit Pont ” — the Swinging Bridge — between Brunswick and Topsham, from the Topsham looking toward Mill Street in Brunswick. Come walk the bridge and surrounding areas in both towns as you learn about the lives of mill workers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in Pejepscot History Center’s first history walking tour of the 2022 season.

After following the paved path along the Androscoggin on the Topsham side, the tour crosses back over the Green Bridge to Fort Andross. June 26 at 1:30 p.m. with historian Candace Kanes.
