Museum happenings
The Haystack Historical Society Museum will remain open on Saturdays this month before closing for the season. This Saturday, Aug. 11, Dana Allison will be demonstrating hand-quilting techniques from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. During that time, all displays will be available for viewing, including the “Maple Leafs,” Mapleton’s High School yearbooks from 1919-1963. Local artisans are being sought to share their art, hobby or a book they have written during museum hours this month. If you are interested, please contact Diane Pratt at 764-6085.
At the Northern Maine Fair this year, the Society held a display at the Historical Pavilion that was located inside The Forum. Dena Winslow created a butter-making display, showing and using items from the Museum. She also took some time to work with the local 4-H group, teaching them butter-making techniques. Plan to stop by the Museum this Saturday to see more fascinating displays! Admission is free.
