On the Road: The Stanley Museum
August 27, 2020, 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Free
Our On the Road series takes us to Kingfield, Maine where we will explore the unique and wonderful Stanley Museum.
The Museum commemorates and preserves the heritage of Stanley family, the inventors of the famous “Stanley Steamer” automobile. Invented by Francis Edgar Stanley and manufactured by Francis and his twin brother, Freelan, the brothers created their first car in 1899 and produced more cars in the next few years than any other automobile manufacturer. Their sister, Chansonetta, is equally important for her photographs depicting rural turn-of-the-century American life. Chansonetta’s photographs can be found in the Colby Museum’s online collection.
Tune in to our Facebook Page at 3pm on Thursday and look for our Facebook premiere! The video will also be saved in our video section for viewing at any time after the Facebook premiere.
