Freeport News

Town of Freeport -  Higher daytime temperatures mean melting ice and snow, which then freezes over again as the night falls, leading to icy roadways, including dangerous black ice. 
When driving, if roads are snow covered or icy, slow down and drive carefully. Vehicle stopping distances are increased 2-6 times on snow and ice. Keep extra distance between you and other vehicles. Allow extra time to get to your destination. As a motorist, you are far more likely to have an accident when driving during an icy road condition than an equivalent amount of time driving during rainy or dry weather. 

Wolfe's Neck Center - We are embarking on an important partnership with the Penobscot Nation exploring Indigenous stewardship of the land and waters in Freeport from time immemorial through the end of the Revolutionary War. A grant from the Maine Semiquincentennial Commission, funded by Maine State Archives and the Maine State Cultural Affairs Council, will support ReDiscovered & ReConnected: Penobscot People in Casco Bay and the formation of America, a community-centered research project.

…The grant also begins the work of our newly created Casco History Lab, which develops and shares place-based knowledge by providing physical connections to historic and cultural landscapes throughout Freeport's Harraseeket River Historic District says James Francis, director of the Penobscot Nation Cultural and Historic Preservation Department.
