Dale Potter-Clark and Bill
Adams have researched about 150 pre-1900 Readfield houses over the past couple of years
with plans to write a book. They are currently collaborating with Readfield Historical Society to see that house circa signs are placed on some
of those old homes and also that a "Museum in the Streets" is created. Dale has taken the lead in securing orders and raising the funding. Contact her for more info at crossings4u@gmail.com
The house circa signs are phase 1 of a three phase effort:
Phase 1 House Circa Signs
Phase 2 This is an offshoot of the Readfield History Walks. In researching for history walks so much info about various sites throughout town has been unearthed. To preserve information about those sites for visitors and future generations a Readfield “Museum in the Streets” will be created with hopes to move forward with this phase in time for Readfield’s 225th anniversary in 2016.
Phase 3 Potter-Clark and Adams will publish a comprehensive book titled Old Houses in Readfield and the People Who Lived in Them
