Logging in Downeast Maine

Please join us at our next meeting when we will share a historic film, From Stump to Ship, filmed in 1930 in Machias, along with slides from our collections demonstrating logging operations and lumber mills in Calais and Milltown.

"[From Stump to Ship] survives as a record of the long log business. Highly detailed scenes, filmed year-round, are uniquely enhanced by the original script, written to be read with the silent footage in the 1930s. The soundtrack is brought to life by Tim Sample, narrator and renowned Maine humorist, in the role of the filmmaker, Alfred Ames."

Open to the public by donation; light refreshments served.
