Last days of summer...

Penobscot Historical Society’s last Open Buildings and Local History summer season ended on Sunday August 24 with a large crowd assembling for the ice cream social and antique roadshow on the PHS site. This year’s event was the largest by far with over 55 attendees. Many treasures were evaluated by guest assessor Peter Spruce from Cross Antiques in Milford Maine.  Some of the treasures included a church foot warmer from 1820 and a pristine hat box owned by Ruth Vanderbilt Twombly, great granddaughter of robber baton “Commodore” Cornelius Vanderbilt.

Families and children showed up for the homemade sweet treats. A beautiful end to all the summer events put on by the Penobscot Historical Society.
