If you’ve spent a summer in Thetford, chances are you have fond memories of days spent at the beautiful Treasure Island beach.
Perhaps you learned to swim there?
Or perhaps you’ve wondered how Thetford came to own a park located in West Fairlee?
Come enjoy some light refreshments and learn about the history of this gem of a park. Wanda Vaughn’s timeline of park history will be presented, which she researched and shared with town record keepers in 2016. Jane Chambers will share photographs and video of her parents, Don and El Wilson, who lived in the caretaker’s cottage and oversaw operations for many years.
This free event is proudly sponsored by the Peabody Library and the Treasure Island Committee. All ages welcome.
