THE GEORGETOWN HISTORICAL SOCIETY will host a talk, titled “Saving the Keeper’s House: Georgetown’s Perkins Island Light Station,” at 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 19, at the GHS, located at 20 Bay Point Road. The program is free and open to the public. Inspired by a generous private donation, the 2014 collaboration among the American Lighthouse Foundation, the Maine Island Trail Association and the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands, resulted in the exterior restoration of the Keeper’s house. Established in 1898, PILS is the most southern of four lights commissioned along the Kennebec to mark the channel for the ships constructed in Bath. The talk is an opportunity to see the pictures and hear the remarkable story of how this came to fruition. Georgetown Historical Society is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesdays and 10 a.m. to noon Saturdays. For more information, call (207) 371-9200, email georgetownhistorical@gmail.com or visit its Facebook page.
