Windham Militia
Back in 1976, as part of the country’s birthday celebration, some Windham folks organized the New Marblehead Militia. The group appeared in parades, held patriotic events and represented the town at special occasions. Some interest has been expressed to the Windham Historical Society about getting re-organized. The society would like to hear from former members and those who would be interested in creating such a group – again. The society would also like donations of uniforms and paraphernalia used by the 1976 group. For more information, contact the society at info@windhamhistorical.org or call Dave Tanguay, 892-1306.
Democrats Meet
Lake Region Democrats will meet at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 10, at the Windham Public Library. Special guest will be Shenna Bellows, candidate for the U.S. Senate.
