NEW HISTORY OF SOUTH BERWICK
From Old Berwick Historical

For those who yearen for the perfect country village, look no further. South Berwick, Maine has it all. This riverside town boasts a welcoming center, a prestigious and ancient academy, historic society, stately homes and meandering rural roads. All of those streets and byways appear in this fact-packed new book from Back Channel Press. "Placenames of South Berwick" – published this month -- is your introduction to the first village in Maine, just across the Salmon Falls River, and now an artistic community. Founded in 1630, South Berwick has more history to tell than towns many times its size, and they are all here. As a bonus, this month’s winner will get an additional book by the town’s most prominent citizen, Sarah Orne Jewett, whose home is an historic museum in the center of town. Three years in the making, this book comes to you courtesy of the Old Berwick Historical Society, a museum well worth the visit the next time you are in the Seacoast region.
