The Harpswell Historical Society and the Merriconeag Grange had collected 20 oral histories and received a $2,000 grant from the Maine Bicentennial Commission to create an exhibit to celebrate the state’s 200th birthday in 2020.
When programming was canceled because of the pandemic, the people of Harpswell knew just what to do with the stories and funding: publish a book.

Marilyn Kamm covers Huron and surrounding counties for the program
Marilyn Kamm is the technician who covers Huron and surrounding counties. She has a background of 10 years in banking and 22 in the New London Public Schools as head of the Digital Academy, from which she retired in 2018.
Kamm also has many years of farm experience because she still lives on the large grain farm she and her late husband Lauren ran for 36 years.
She says the analysis program could benefit every farmer, whether working with crops, animals or both, and she is available to meet with anyone interested in this process. She can be reached at kamm.21@osu.edu or 419-681-4982.
