Presumpscot River Secrets

More than one hundred years ago, the Presumpscot River was dammed at the Windham/Gorham town line, and that stretch of river was transformed into Dundee Pond. Last summer, the dam malfunctioned, and the water level had to be lowered so it could be repaired. As the water receded, the secrets lying below the surface for decades slowly revealed themselves, including the river itself.

Join us for a special presentation at the library and learn about some of those secrets, from tree stumps to remnants of the C & O Canal to rapids and waterfalls to scores of buried artifacts.

Presented by:

Michael Shaughnessy, President, Friends of the Presumpscot River

Local detectorist Julie Caswell will show and discuss buried artifacts she found with her metal detector.
