Merrymeeting Park of Brunswick was one of a handful of historic trolley parks in Maine. A short video produced by Mark Ireland of MI Media will kick off the evening. It recounts the fascinating history of the park which graced the shores of Merrymeeting Bay from 1898-1907. The video also affectionately profiles some trolley park aficionados who have worked tirelessly to keep these stories alive. Mark and Chris Gutscher (the park’s local historian) will be on hand for questions after the screening.
