Honoring and Preserving Our Community’s History
The Sanford-Springvale Historical Society, in conjunction with the Sanford Historical Committee, collects, preserves, and displays artifacts, documents, records, photographs and other materials and objects of historical interest to the town.
Please join us Saturday, August 16 for “Call Me ‘Madam’ — the final event in our 2025 Summer Programs!
A teaser for the "Call Me 'Madam': A Visit with Clara Goodwin" event at the Sanford-Springvale Historical Museum on August 16, 2025.
Visitors will tour the beautiful Victorian era Goodwin House (located next to the Historical Museum) from Clara Goodwin’s point of view. As the second wife of Edmund Goodwin, Clara will make connections to her domestic and community life as it pertains to the late Victorian era. Participants will also take tea with “Madam” in 19th-century tradition.
