We’re excited to welcome back Sean and Johanna Billings for an encore presentation of their acclaimed book, Blair Hill and Highlands on Moosehead Lake: A History. Join us Thursday, July 31 at 4:00 p.m. at the Center for Moosehead History for this special event.

If you missed their talk last year—or simply want to revisit the rich storytelling—this is a wonderful opportunity to meet the authors, dive deeper into the fascinating history of Moosehead Lake’s Blair Hill and Highlands region, and get your copy signed.

The book traces the area’s transformation, from the early settlement of Edmund Scammon and his family to the rise of grand summer homes built by business leaders like Victor Macfarlane and Andrew Jackson Sloper. You’ll also explore the charm of the Highlands area, with its mix of cozy cabins, the well-loved Moosehead Coffee House, and panoramic lake views that drew generations of vacationers.

With Greenville long serving as the gateway to Maine’s largest lake—nearly 75,000 acres of natural beauty—the stories captured in this book reflect the region’s enduring appeal and layered past. We look forward to seeing you there!
