A service to celebrate the life of Eleanor Betty Blaisdell Berry will be held 2 p.m., Sat., July 28 at Fort William Henry parade ground at Colonial Pemaquid State Park.
Betty, who died on Feb. 8, was a co-founder of the Friends of Colonial Pemaquid, and led the efforts to restore Fort William Henry and the Fort House. This work resulted in Colonial Pemaquid being designated a National Historic Landmark in 1993.
While at Pemaquid, Betty became interested in oceanography and marine archaeology and was a director of the Maritime Archaeological & Historical Research Institute. She was a dedicated sponsor of the work to locate the remains of the English Galleon Angel Gabriel, the ship that brought the Blaisdell family to America in 1635.
