AUBURN — The Androscoggin Historical Society, at its annual meeting Tuesday, June 4, will feature a talk by Lorraine Masure on what it was really like to grow up in Lewiston-Auburn as a first-generation American with a rich Franco heritage.
This program will be held at the West Auburn Schoolhouse, 740 West Auburn Road, on the corner of Boothby Street. The schoolhouse will be open for inspection during a social hour beginning at 4:30 p.m. A catered meal at 5:30 p.m. will follow the brief business meeting at which members will elect officers and directors for the coming year. Masure’s talk is scheduled at 6:30.
