“Buxton, Maine: An American Story” will be highlighted during the town’s 250th birthday celebration and shown continuously from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Aug. 6 in Tory Hill Meetinghouse.
Buxton was incorporated as a town July 14, 1772.
“We are very grateful to the church for hosting this event and encourage everyone who has not yet seen it to stop in, take a load off your feet for a few minutes and check it out,” said Jan Hill, president of Buxton-Hollis Historical Society.
DVDs of the documentary produced by Saco River Community TV are $25. Copies will be available for sale at the viewing area as well as at the historical society’s sales table.
