Out of Our Past

Since 1988, the society has regularly contributed articles on local history to the local weekly newspaper, the Boothbay Register.  A downloadable index to these articles is available here.  These articles were principally written by local historian Barbara Rumsey, with some by guest authors. The pieces have appeared in our column, Out of Our Past, and as stand-alone shorter pieces on a monthly or more frequent basis. Many of these articles have also appeared in three books put out by the society between 1995 and 2006. The books are titled Boothbay Region Historical Sketches and two of the three volumes are available in our museum shop.
