Barbara Brown, former trustee and all-round Nathaniel Hawthorne fan has done an excellent job of compiling a wish list for the Hawthorne House.
Because some wish-list things are antique in nature – they may be living in someone’s attic. It is fun to send this list out to our friends and members, and we will post the wish list on the website.
Antique things
- Fishing pole and holder. Maybe a fishing basket? Old fashioned? Young Hawthorne loved to fish.
- 1813 USA flag and stand. The flag had 15 stars and 15 stripes. Someone could contribute?
- Mounted Sebago Lake land-locked salmon
Books! Books! Books!
- Book plates for the existing books in our shelves
- Volunteers to catalog the book collection
- Any Hawthorne and/or time appropriate, dusty book treasures on your shelves or in you attic?
Other items
- Video to show house – Does anyone have a camera drone to volunteer some coold arial footage? Narration?
- Lost and found basket
- Display of sailors’ knots for use with youth groups
