LISBON FALLS — The Lisbon Historical Society will feature speakers Noyes Lawrence and Merton Ricker at a meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug.14,
Their topic is the Lisbon Lobster Club, founded rather accidentally in the early years of the past century.
Ricker will try to unravel the several myths about how the club got its start. It had a unique purpose, the pleasures that members enjoyed in a good lobster feed surrounded by convivial company. It was also unique in that membership was limited to thirty-five members at any one time.
Both Ricker and Lawrence are former members of the club. Lawrence has a treasure trove of remembrances of club meetings. The club was undoubtedly the least serious of any social club in town. Lawrence will relish telling many tall tales and antics of the club.
One of the more unique former members of the club will attend the meeting.
The program will be held in the society rooms in the MTM Center, 18 School St. Parking and entrance are at the rear of the building. All are welcome to the free program, with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. Refreshments will be served. Further information is available at Lisbonhistsoc@gmail.com or 207-353-8510.
