AUGUSTA — Imagine living in a century-old light keeper’s house on the coast of Maine. It sounds like a fantasy, but for Tom and Lee Ann Szelog, dream became reality when they settled into the keeper’s quarters at the Marshall Point Lighthouse in Port Clyde.
The Szelogs talk about the experience 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 20, at the Maine State Library, 230 State St. in the Kennebec Historical Society’s March presentation.
In a narrated photography presentation based on the Szelog’s book, “Our Point of View – Fourteen Years at a Maine Lighthouse,” the ever=changing tide of emotion and drama is experienced through stories and photographs. Published by Down East Books, the book has been honored as one of the Best Photo Books by “Shutterbug” magazine and was the winner of Best Maine-Themed Book in the Maine Literary Awards from the Maine Writers and Publishers Association. The book also is a Gold Medal winner from the Independent Publishers Association.
The presentation is co-sponsored by the Maine State Library and free to the public (donations are accepted). For more information, contact Scott Wood, KHS administrative director, at kennhis1891@gmail.com or call 207-622-7718.
