Opera, Nuns, & Bodybuilders: The Wild & Wonderful History of Oak Street, led by Lin Maria-Riotto This was one of our most raved about walking tours of 2019, new that year. Since we didn’t run it in 2020, Lin had lots more time to discover more fascinating tidbits about her street of residence. Dare we say there have been more colorful characters on Oak Street over its history than most other streets in town? We just might! Knowing Lin and her friendly neighbors, you might even stop and hear a personal story or two. Please note that this tour begins at the corner of Union and Oak Streets. Participants meet at starting point. Please check-in with tour leader at least 10 minutes prior to tour time. Space is limited. PHC maintains a waiting list for each tour in case of cancellations. Most tours are 75-90 minutes. Pejepscot History Center is a non-profit, educational organization charged with preserving the collective heritage of Brunswick, Harpswell, and Topsham.
