Chamberlain Museum & Skolfield-Whittier House - Chamberlain Museum & Skolfield-Whittier House
Join us for a guided tour of the Joshua L. Chamberlain Museum and Skolfield-Whittier House in Brunswick. The Chamberlain Museum for 50 years was the home of American Civil War General, Bowdoin College President and Maine Governor. The tour is being offered by Pejepscot Historical Society who purchased the house in 1983 saving it from demolition. The museum is in the process of being restored as it was when Chamberlain lived there, telling the story of his life, his family and the building itself. The Skolfield-Whittier House was home to several important Maine citizens and was constructed between 1858-1862 and has remained virtually unchanged for more than 100 years. The house was built by prominent sea captain and ship builder Alfred Skolfield. Three generations of the same family lived in this beautiful Italianate home. The house's 17 rooms provide a glimpse into 19th century upper middle-class life in Maine. We will first enjoy touring the Chamberlain Museum lasting approximately 1 hour, before heading to lunch at The Fountain Ice Cream & Deli in Bath, a charming old-fashioned eatery that brings the classic soda fountain experience back to life! After lunch, we will return to Brunswick for a guided tour of the Skolfield-Whittier House.Cost: 30.00 includes transportation and tickets for both museums. We will meet at Standish Town Hall and leave promptly at 9:45am and return at approximately 4:00pm. Please park in the upper-level parking lot.Questions, contact Norma at nmarchant@standish.or or (207) 642-2875.

To respond to the needs of the area for a multi-generational park activity for pets and their people that will be a complement to the town’s existing recreation areas and maintain a positive presence in the community by encouraging recreation through the dog park.When is the park open?The dog park opened in the fall of 2022 and is open daily until snowfall. If weather and conditions permit, the park is open. It may be closed for maintenance, or if the grounds are too wet.

The dog park received a $25,000 grant awarded by Pet Safe (Standish is one of nine winners in the US).

The post-construction dog park supplies and amenities such as poop bags, agility elements, shade canopies, benches, etc. will be funded by donations and fundraisers. The Ad-hoc Committee, in partnership with the parks and recreation department, developed a management plan for rules and on-going maintenance of the park.

Join us for a fun filled day in Bridgton...we will explore together this hidden gem...66 acres of woodlands and stream in the heart of Bridgton that offers a 2.3 mile trail network that includes short walking trails crisscrossing through the park, wildlife, brooks, and 2 covered bridges, one of which is 60 feet!. The wood-chipped and boardwalk pathways lead you deep into the park where there have been sightings of beaver, deer, mink, pileated woodpeckers, and spotted salamanders. If we are lucky, we will enjoy the sweet scent of honeysuckle and a glimpse of humming birds along the way. We can choose our path from easy to moderate...walking a slow pace to take in the breathtaking beauty for as little or long as we wish. The park has numerous boardwalks, multiple beautiful bridges spanning the brooks and a spiral staircase on a bridge in the middle of the forest that offers some heavenly views if you are able to climb it. There are benches strategically placed along the trails, perfect for a rest or snack break. Pondicherry Park was donated to the Town of Bridgton in 2012 with a conservation easement held by Loon Echo Land Trust. There is a donation box available if anyone wishes to contribute. We will enjoy lunch in Bridgton and how can we head back to Standish without stopping at Reny's? (cost of lunch on your own).
