BRIDGTON, Maine — Bridgton Historical Society will be presenting “Antebellum Politics of Bridgton 1830-1865” on Saturday at 2 p.m. at the museum on Gibbs Avenue in Bridgton, Maine.

Go to back to the eve of the Civil War for a look at the politics and opinions of Bridgton’s past residents, as handed down in their own words. The primary source for this talk will be the memoirs of Edwin Peabody Fitch, who was born in South Bridgton in 1840.
