Upcoming Events 2017
Tues., Oct. 10, 6:30 P.M.: “THE COCHRANE CRAZE” presented by Nancy Ponzetti. At its height between 1817-1819, the Cochrane Craze swept through York County particularly in the towns of Saco, Buxton, Hollis, and Kennebunk. Non-denominational preacher, Jacob Cochrane (1782-1836), founder of The Society of Free Brethren and Sisters, promoted the doctrine of spiritual wifery while encouraging holy dancing and frenzied reaping in worship. Cochrane’s ascension and demise will be discussed in this program as well as his possible influence on both the Oneida Community and the Church of Latter Day Saints. Nancy Ponzetti, historian and educator, is the current vice president of the BHHS for Hollis. *Suggested donations $10 ; Seniors, $8.
