Hello Folks,
Just wanted to invite you all to the Owls Head Transportation Museum on
January 12th for a presentation of
“From Nowhere to Nowhere “. Centered on the history and operation of the Eagle Lake & West Branch Railroad,
"From Nowhere to Nowhere” tells the story of the early mechanization
of Maine’s North woods during the first three decades of the last century – an era when steam and steel replace horse and brute manpower in the remote logging camps of the Allagash -
when Lombards, Locomotives, steam boats and a Tramway ruled the forest.
Drawing on over 30 years research, with numerous, never seen before Images Interwoven with history, personal stories and anecdotes of those who lived,
worked and raised families in this remote region,
“From Nowhere to No Where” tells the vivid story of life in Maine’s Allagash Wilderness during the 1900-1933 period
as well as the efforts to document, and preserve this remarkable slice of Maine history.
The presentation begins at 1:00 pm and admission is free.Hope to see you there!
Best regards,
Terry Harper
