Miscellaneous

This is a place to tuck good info until we know where we are going to use it/put it.

We definitely a section (or a subsection in each of the themes?) for GPS info/activity/results.

Here's a link from Stephen to show "what's possible" with GPS/GIS: http://www.community-gis.org/projects/muscongus.html

There are some photos of Fairbanks and other things that a contact of Nancy's has shared with her but the files are tiny. We need to get to his resources and scan them the MMN way or ask him to re-scan them or somehow get them for our use. When she has time, Theresa has promised to figure out where that stuff should go on this wiki site and upload them so that others can at least know of their existence.

"The picture I sent of the ice and buildings in the background is of the end of Front Street, and the buildings you see in the background are the corn shop. The location is where the present-day McDonalds is. The year: 1936. There have been wicked floods - the ole Sandy River keeps us all on our toes..every year. In 1936, the damage was extensive thru-out Maine & New England. I almost think it was a direct effect from a Hurricane."

"Farmington Falls and the Fairbanks area can't be ignored. While Fairbanks isn't as prominent, Farm. Falls is an important part of the early development. There's a ledger at the Hist. Soc. that dates back to the late 1790's, and shows Jonathan (?) Russ sellling tobacco to Pierpole - one of the early Indians that stayed in the area until too many white men came. Pierpole's wife, Hannah Sussup's basket is now on display at the Farmington Public Library. That should be included in the early years."
