BRUNSWICK – Author John Goff will be the guest speaker at the Pejepscot Genealogical Society October meeting, 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 9, in the Morrell Meeting Room, Curtis Memorial Library, 23 Pleasant St.
Goff, a local resident, will speak on “Mishoonash in Maine: Remnants of old Native Canoe Travels in the Pejepscot (Brunswick, Topsham and Harpswell) Region.” Using select images and locally found native stone tools, Goff will describe Wabanaki activities in the greater Pejepscot region. He will also explore how early activities placed names upon, and left traces upon, the land.
Goff is a recently retired restoration architect, preservation consultant and architectural historian. During the early 1980s he coordinated the Brunswick Architectural Survey for the historical society and the Maine Historic Preservation Commission. He’s written “Samuel B. Dunning: Brunswick’s First Architect,” and “Salem’s Witch House: A Touchstone to Antiquity.”
