The Boothbay Region Historical Society is raffling off a bit of local history to raise interest in and help support its programs, services, and museum collections.

The winning ticket holder will receive a matted watercolor print by the late Earle Barlow of East Boothbay, and a signed copy of "Boothbay Region Historical Sketches, Vol. II" edited by local historian, Barbara Rumsey. Barlow’s print, entitled “View from the Footbridge (1910),” is a rendition of the scene that appears on the cover of "Sketches II." Both images feature a northwest facing view of the grain mill once owned by H. W. Bishop and later by B. E. Hume. The mill building is now The Chowder House. See this week’s “Out of Our Past” for a brief history of the grain mill business.

The drawing will be held on Dec. 5, 2015, during the society’s annual Harbor Lights open house. Ticket holders need not be present to win. Tickets cost $1 each or $5 for a book of six and can be purchased at the museum, 72 Oak Street, Boothbay Harbor, Thursday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Go to brhs@gwi.net or call 207-633-0820 for more information.
