We meet
the 3rd Wednesday of every month in the Lubec
Memorial Library
in the big city of Lubec |
The Trescott Historical
Society is a private membership organization open to the
public and dedicated to the study and publication of the
history of Trescott, Maine. We have elected officers,
and general policy is set by a Board of Directors.
We have over 435 family surname files covering the years
1785 to 1920, including historical maps and surveys.
Additional files cover the years from 1920 to 1945 (when
the town deorganized) and later, 1946 to the present,
when all vital records have been recorded in the
bordering town of Lubec. |
Since most of the early settlers and later inhabitants
moved from the area for economic reasons, we are
interested in receiving and sharing data with
descendants of former Trescott, Maine residents.
The society sponsors a variety of activities including
public lectures, genealogy exchanges and outings.
Members are actively researching and organizing
historical documents, and gradually adding material to
the THS website. A recent project has been re-issuing
the 1881 Atlas of Washington County.
Membership and Meetings
Society meetings are held on the third Wednesday of
every month at the Lubec Memorial Library in the
adjacent town of Lubec from 5:30 – 8:00 PM. Guest
presentations usually begin at 6:30 PM. Lectures and
other presentations, as well as normally meetings, are
open to the public.
Annual membership dues are $10/individual and $15/couple
or family. Donations to the Society are 501(c)3 tax
exempt. |
