Wing family
STRATTON — On Sunday, July 3, cousins Philip Wing of Kingfield and Duluth Wing of Eustis will share their families’ heritage with visitors of the Dead River Area Historical Society in Stratton. Hear stories of “The Wing Family Of Dead River Plantation,” a family that goes way back in the history of that town.
The society’s special days are not presentations but a gathering of people knowledgeable about the featured subject.
The Dead River Area Historical Society is open every weekend throughout July and August from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Displays include a collection of old carpentry and logging tools, china, glass, church organ, furniture from native families, a complete schoolroom, a memorial room to the “lost” towns of Flagstaff and Dead River, the lineage of several native families and a host of memorabilia from native homesteads.
For more information call Mary Henderson at 246-2271.
