Mid Century Modern Tour Recap and Architecture Lecture

Please join the Sanford Historic Trust at our monthly membership meeting which is open to members and nonmembers alike.  We will have an update from our treasurer, membership committee, report back about our Porchfest experience, nominations for our historic preservation awards, community picnic, and a few other topics as well!

After the Trust meeting our Historic Preservation Officer, Julie Scofield, will give a report about the Mid Century Modern Tour that took place on March 7th.  The recap will include a brief overview of what the event was, what the Sanford Historic Trust did to help, then an education portion highlighting what was taught about mid century modern architecture including Q&A.

We will have a brief reception following this with light refreshments and snacks.
