A slice of history
According to the chronology compiled by Gorham Historical Society, Gorham settlers in 1760 wintered their cattle and horses at the “Great Kezar Meadow.” They used Native American trails to reach the meadow.
The meadow was located in Fryeburg, “McLellan’s History of Gorham” reports, and the meadow was named for a trapper named Kezar, who told Gorham settlers of it.
Gorham will turn 284 years old in 2020 and the state will be 200 years old.
