The Rise and Decline of Readfield Depot ~ Presentation at Senior Cafe Nov. 27, 2017 9:30-11am

In passing through Readfield have you ever wondered how Readfield Depot came to be? It was, at one time, a buzzing community center. On November 27^th Readfield historian Dale Potter-Clark will share the history of some old homes and buildings in and around Readfield Depot; the evolution of that area into a village; tidbits about some people who have lived there; and how the symbiotic relationship between Readfield Depot and summer residents helped boost the town’s economy and overall lakeside development. A slide show of vintage photos will be shown throughout the presentation. In addition, Potter-Clark will do a reading about Readfield Depot from the book she co-authored titled “The Founders and Evolution of Summer Resorts and Kids’ Camps on Four Lakes in Central Maine”.

The presentation is slated for Monday, November 27^th 9:30-11am at Senior Café, Maranacook Middle School Cafeteria.
