Historical Committee Update The LSLAHistorical Committee continues to move forward with its project of pulling together historical information about Little Sebago and the people who have enjoyed it over the last century. As winter slowly closes in on Maine, we are looking for individuals who have stories, images, and artifacts to share. We are also looking for volunteers to help us with oral interviews and archival work, both of which can be accomplished remotely as well as in person. Do you love Little Sebago and might be looking for a winter project? We would love to work with you! Currently we are working with a professor from St Joseph’s College (Standish, ME) who is looking for lake visitors/residents who were either on the lake in the 1940s -or- have stories to tell about other family members who were here in the 1940s. She is developing an oral history project for her students to take place at the beginning of 2022 and needs people to interview. Know of someone we should interview? Have a story from your family from the 40s that you would like to share? Have other memories (earlier or later) that you would like to share? Care to join us in the process of collecting info? Please complete this very brief survey to let us know! In the meantime please enjoy this image of a postcard from circa 1910 of the lake. This came from a blog written by Linda Shufflebean about her visits to the lake as a child. To see more stories and images from Little Sebago on her blog please click here and leave a comment!
