A very young Frank Flagg (born 1922) milks the family cow under the proud eye of his father, Forrest Flagg. This is one of many vintage photos featured in the 2022 edition of the Jefferson Historical Calendars now available.
The Jefferson Historical Society is preparing for its annual open house on Sat., Aug. 7 from 10 a.m. to noon. The 2022 calendars showing people doing various jobs in Jefferson will be available for $10. Some other topics covered in the calendar will be Bonds Mill; Lakeview Orchards; Malcolm Peck’s Automotive, Marine and Plane business; the poultry industry; Fred Meserve’s Gulf gas station; Ice Harvesting in Jefferson and much more.
There will be exhibits of many documents, photos, maps, household items, tools and more used by earlier residents in Jefferson. The names of all the people who lived in town when Maine became a state in 1820 and some of the jobs they did will be a special focus.
In conjunction with the ‘Bicentennial plus 1’ celebration state-wide and the Lincoln County Pilgrimage week, the Old Jefferson Town House will be open Wed., Aug. 18 from 5-7 p.m. There will be other open houses in September.
