Description


The story of North Yarmouth is captured in its motto the Town Where Others Began. Established as a large plantation in 1680, five towns grew and separated from the original settlement over the next 170 years, leaving behind a small rural community with two distinct villages. Farming and lumber-related industries dominated the life of residents until World War II. Church, school, and numerous social groups were the sources of entertainment when daily chores were done. North Yarmouth once boasted a hotel, a creamery, a library, a chinchilla ranch, and carriage makers. The town has grown and thrived over the last few decades, but still carefully preserves its important heritage. Around North Yarmouth illustrates the vibrant interwoven history of this town and the surrounding communities. Longtime residents with roots spanning many generations helped create this volume by sharing their cherished historic photographs and fascinating oral histories.
