When Isaac Augustus Harris purchased a small pharmacy from Dr. Hiram Hunt in Greenville in 1896, he launched what would become one of the longest-running family businesses in Maine. This year marks 130 years of Harris Drug Store serving the Moosehead community. Join us as we trace four generations of the Harris family story, with Michael and Lisa Harris on hand to share their own memories and answer questions.

When 14-year-old David Tildon (D.T.) Sanders arrived in Greenville to apprentice in a general store for $50 a year, he could not have imagined what he was starting. For 125 years, four generations of the Sanders family ran one of the most storied businesses in the Moosehead region — outfitting loggers, sportsmen, and famous visitors alike. Join members of the Sanders family as we trace this remarkable story from D.T.’s arrival in the 1850s through the sale of the store in 1981.

Ten miles from Rockwood, at the head of Indian Pond, Mike Marr built a sporting camp in 1894 that would welcome fishermen, hunters, and vacationing families for 58 years. Join Bob Cowan — Mike Marr’s grandson and former trustee of the Moosehead Historical Society — as he tells the story of one of the most beloved sporting camps in the Moosehead region, including the decision to move the camps before Harris Dam was built in 1954 and raised the waters of Indian Pond forever.

Mt. Kineo has held deep significance for Native peoples for more than 11,000 years, its volcanic rhyolite drawing travelers from across the Northeast. Archaeologist and Greenville native Dr. Nathan Hamilton traces that long Indigenous presence — who came here, how they moved through this landscape, and why Kineo became sacred ground. He also brings the story into the 20th century through the writings of Henry Perley, whose legends of Kineo link ancient tradition to living memory. This presentation is part of our History by the Lake series and offered in collaboration with the Thoreau-Wabanaki Trail Festival.

When Dr. Norman H. Nickerson arrived in Greenville in 1920, he took over the practice of his uncle, Dr. Hiram Hunt — the Moosehead Lake area’s first physician.

Join members of the Nickerson family as we look back on the life and legacy of “Doc Nick.”

When Henry Wilson returned from the Civil War in 1865, he settled at the East Outlet of Moosehead Lake, built a sawmill, and eventually constructed what became one of the most celebrated sporting camps in Maine. Four generations of Wilsons ran the business for over a century. Join current owner Scott Snell as he tells the story of Wilson’s Camps — from its Civil War origins to the present day.
