Once the South Thomaston Public Library moved out of the Village School into Gilford Butler, the Wessaweskeag Historical Society signed a lease with the town to use the Village School. The school has been furnished with many original school desks, photos and artifacts. A sign will be put up to designate it as a museum. Thanks to our new space Beverly St. Clair, our curator, has been able to display many more artifacts. If anyone has any historical school items or papers to donate please contact Beverly at 207-701-7147 or [email protected]
The new museum will be open on Saturdays from 10:00 am through 2:00 pm.
With the help of one of our residents we were able to get Lowe’s to donate materials to refurbish the outside of the Village School. Volunteers will be needed to dip the shingles. Once the stain has been delivered an email will be sent to determine a date and time. The original Village School was beige color. In 1965 the South Thomaston Community Service Club made the decision to paint the building red. We would like residents to please email the Town Office ([email protected]) with a preference of returning the Village School to its original color or to keep it red.
Individuals interested in an appointment to the Planning Board, Appeals Board, Budget Committee, Ordinance Review Committee, Library and Community Center Committee, Conservation Commission are urged to contact the Town Office for more information.
