Spring Events of Rumford and Mexico Historical Societies
The Rumford Historical Society, in conjunction with the Mexico Historical Society, will offer the opportunity to residents of both towns, and other interested persons from the region, to view the DVD, GONE…..The Mystery of the Don Disaster, which was shown on PBS on April 12 and 14.
The program will be held at the Mexico Rec Center (located at 15 Recreation Drive, Mexico….behind the "Green Church"), on Thursday, May 17, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. The one-hour long DVD was produced by Marilyn Taylor and David Wilkinson of Harpswell, ME., based on the book by Stacy L. Welner (Tragedy in Casco Bay). Musician Jimmy Gallant, formerly of Mexico, provided the lyrics in the sound track. Much of the research done by Ms. Taylor, Mr. Wilkinson, et.al, for the DVD were provided by the Mexico and Rumford Historical Societies. The Memorial Stone in the Mexico Park across from the Veterans Bridge was precipitated by the research done for this DVD.
