New Planned 2019 Village Exhibit
Next year we will have a new West Buxton Village Exhibit in our remaining two large rooms upstairs. We are forming a new project committee and are looking for volunteers. The Bar Mills Exhibit will continue to be open this year and next.
We are now soliciting donations and loans of artifacts, pictures and any other historical items that show this important Hollis and Buxton village in the period from about 1830 to 1953. A possible title is “From Moderation Village to Downtown West Buxton”. We are looking for local items relating to the lumber industry (and Dow/Lord/Hargreaves families), the woolen industry ( and Berryman, Tracey, Illingsworth families), the carding mill on carding mill brook, retail stores (Davis, Bryant,Rosenberg, Plummer), blacksmiths (Joe Sands), Thomas Bradbury Jr. stove shop, barber shops (Townsend), jewelry stores (Barnes family), Saco River Creamery, the Elm Hotel, the Tarbox Hotel, Masons/Eastern Star, Odd Fellows/Rebeccas, Buxton and Hollis Savings Bank, Casco Bank, West Buxton Fire Department including firefighters, CMP hydro operations and the local operators, Shy Beaver and Cold Spring Trout ponds, West Buxton Airport, West Buxton Post Office, churches, West Buxton School (Buxton), West Buxton School (Hollis), Hillcrest School and Shadigee School.
We have much to cover! Please contact us through email, telephone, Facebook or our web page if you can make a contribution to our West Buxton history.
