Benedict Arnold memorabilia

STRATTON — On Sunday, July 1, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Duluth Wing of Eustis will be host at the Dead River Area Historical Society. He has what is believed to be the largest collection of artifacts from the Col. Benedict Arnold march. He will show this very rare collection of Arnold memorabilia and share the stories of how Arnold marched through Maine on his trek to Quebec City in the 1700s during the Revolutionary War.

Wing has spent many years searching the area of Gen. Arnold’s march with a metal detector and has found a wide assortment of items left by Arnold and his men.

The society’s special days are not presentations but a gathering of people knowledgeable about the featured subject. On display in the museum are artifacts, manuscripts and photographs that have been donated or loaned by interested townspeople and descendants of original families of the Dead River Region.

For more information call Mary Henderson at 246-2271.
