August 2016 • Issue #8 • Chebeague Island Council Calendar

On the Cover The Chebeague Island Historical Society was founded in 1984 and has become a vibrant and integral part of the Chebeague community. The Society strives to help folks appreciate the island’s heritage so they may better understand the place we live in today as we plan for the future. The Society acquired the District 9 School House in 1998, which was in disrepair after being used as the Town Garage for 45 years. The building now houses state of the art storage; exhibit space; a 15,000-piece photo collection; and a research/meeting room. More than 2500 people visit the facility annually, and membership exceeds 400. In addition to being a community resource, the CIHS presents well-researched exhibits, programs, and house tours and publishes the Sloop’s Log twice a year.
