DRESDEN — The Lincoln County Historical Association plans to hold its 69th commemoration of Memorial Day at the Pownalborough Court House on Monday, May 29.
The gathering will be called together at 11 a.m. at 23 Courthouse Road to be led up the old road to the Court House Cemetery by members of the Colonial Maine Living History Association.
Veteran soldiers of three wars will be remembered through short reflections on their lives, and bouquets will be placed upon their graves.
Everyone is invited to stay on after the conclusion of the Memorial Day ceremonies and experience the courthouse grounds. A nature trail follows the high bank of the Kennebec River through an old stand of white pine. The trail system continues across Route 128.
People can bring a picnic lunch.
