The Court House trails will be open.
Tours are held from Memorial Day to Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Private appointments can be made after that date until Nov. 1. Tours are free for Dresden residents, association members, and children younger than 16. Regular admission is $15.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
