Have you ever visited the Old Porter Meeting House?

Here is your chance!

-----

ANNUAL OPEN HOUSE AT OLD PORTER MEETING HOUSE

KATHERINE RHODA,

popular local musician, folk singer & multi-instrumentalist.

Katherine will entertain us with vintage music as we belatedly celebrate Maine’s Bicentennial.  


In addition to wonderful music, this is your opportunity to tour this local gem.  Step back in history to 1824 and imagine attending a Bullockite quarterly service or participating in a Porter Town Meeting here.  This unique building is on the National Register of Historic Places and is one of the very few meeting houses left in the state.
