FREEDOM — Freedom Historical Society will be hosting the program “A History of Scarboro Road,” presented by John Harmon Perkins, on Wednesday, July 21, at 7 p.m. This online Zoom program is free and open to members of Freedom Historical Society and the public.
Scarboro Road has always held a fascination for Perkins — as a young boy, a teenager, a young adult, a husband, father and now grandfather. His memories and recollections are numerous and varied: entering a home that had a funeral parlor; hearing people called, “Cousin” but not knowing how they were related; a house that was moved from Scarboro Road to Old Portland Road; seeing a pond where the schoolhouse used to be; a brook running through the cellar to keep things cold; Saturday night summer cookouts at one residence with “The Road” invited and great fun making apple cider in October with “The Road.”
