On Saturday, May 16, from 9 to 11 a.m., the Chapman-Hall House Stewardship Committee will hold an information meeting for anyone interested in volunteering at this historic Damariscotta site. Current docents and stewardship committee members will be on hand to describe what is involved. Come and learn how we introduce visitors to our exhibits, events, and local history.

The site, which dates to 1754, is the oldest known house in Damariscotta. Built in a unique manner for this area, and arranged to show furnishings from different time periods, it offers an opportunity to learn about local history and the ever-changing tastes of society.

Chapman-Hall House opens for the season on the weekend of June 6 and 7. Saturday, June 6 is Community Day when admission is free of charge to all Lincoln County Historical Association’s house museums. This includes Chapman-Hall House in Damariscotta, the Pownalborough Court House in Dresden, and the 1811 Old Jail and 1839 Jailer’s House in Wiscasset. On Sunday, June 7, Chapman-Hall House docents will share with visitors the 250th Anniversary of the Lee Resolution. Richard Lee was a representative from Virginia to the Second Continental Congress.

If you enjoy history and meeting with people from all over the country, please attend the May 16 gathering at Chapman-Hall House, 270 Main St., Damariscotta. Refreshments will be served.
