Description

Part of Pejepscot History Center's popular Summer Walking Tour Series. Members only tour The Auburn Colony, Harpswell with Wendy Van Damme. The Auburn Colony, Harpswell led by Wendy Van Damme Please note that this tour is open to PHC members only. Hugely popular when it premiered in 2021, this guided walk of the historic Auburn Colony off Harpswell Neck Road feels like a trip back in time. This 19th century colony, created by multiple families from Auburn, Maine, who wanted a summer escape to call their own, still serves descendants of those families. A fire destroyed many of the original cottages, but a number were rebuilt. The tour includes the communal dining hall and huge kitchen, recreation areas, staff lodging, and a walk-thru of at least one of the main cottages. Begins at Auburn Colony Drive, Harpswell Neck Road. Park on the lawn to the left. Participants meet at starting point; driving directions and parking information provided upon registration.
