FIRST HISTORIC SITE MARKER DEDICATED ~ JUNE 11, 2021

We dedicated the first "History Walks Series" historical site marker on June 11, 2021. More will be appearing in and around Readfield Corner this summer. Stay tuned for where and when...

The sign pictured here will be displayed on the Masonic Block at Readfield Corner. The photos and narrative includes the history of Masonic Lodge #48 which was established at Readfield Corner in 1826; and the devastating fire that destroyed most of Readfield Corner on June 11, 1921. The sign was sponsored in memory of Thomas Adell, by some of his family members, friends and members of the Masonic Lodge. (Andy Tolman photo)

In the photo L to R: Dale Potter-Clark, Bill Adams, Ed Dodge and standing below on the right is John Lord. Ed and John are Masons who worked with Dale to plan and implement the History Walk and sign dedication. Bill co-led the walk with Dale.

Thank you to all who attended #57 history walk on May 21st in East Readfield (pictured at left) and #58 on June 11th at Readfield Corner. Together, the two walks were attended by 80+ people, several came from out of town - some even made a special trip from out of State. About a quarter of them had never been to a history walk before.
