Summary

 Images from the E. Joseph Leighton photograph collection owned by the Lincoln County Cultural and Historical Association were exhibited at the University of Maine’s Memorial Union, May 10-30, 1979. The exhibit was curated by Michael Chaney with a youth grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Text panels to accompany the photographs were derived from oral history interviews conducted by Chaney with residents of Lincoln County, Maine, in 1978. The Lincoln County Project Collection includes the tape recorded interviews, copy prints of photos from the Joseph Leighton Collection, and paper documents pertaining to the exhibit and the tapes. Topics discussed in the interviews include: Sheepscot area history; E. Joseph Leighton; portable sawmill operations; Sheepscot-Newcastle area; Alna and Wiscasset area history; apple orchard business in the early 1900s; Dr. A. M. Card; Turner Center Creamery; and Pendleton’s Market. Copy prints of images from the E. Joseph (“Joe”) Leighton Photograph Collection are found in the Northeast Archives as P1922 – P2238. [Permission to use these photos must be obtained from the Lincoln County Cultural and Historical Association.]
