Throwback Thursday
It’s pretty clear from the photo where this is, but does anybody remember this incident? Or have any stories about the rock climbing cliff?
By the way, we got so many responses to last week’s Throwback Thursday photo, which was indeed, Indian Basket Tent in Lincolnville Beach, but from now on, we will ask folks to comment directly to the story in the comment box below rather than email us the answer. That way everyone will see it. Thanks to all who wrote to us: Jeff Lord, Molly Stone, Lori Traikos, Kevin Widdecomb, Shirley Remsen. Patsy Lannon, Suzanne Weiss, Ann Pattison and Diane O’Brien, who had this to say:
“That photo was taken at Lincolnville Beach, probably in the 1940s.....it's the Indian Basket Tent, owned by Penobscots Leo and Florence Shay of Lincolnville Beach and Old Town. Florence made baskets, sitting in front of the tent in the photo. The family, including their children, lived in a tent behind the sales tent. In the 1960s their grandson, Bob Anderson, bought the business and ran it for many years with his wife, Jackie. They sold baskets and souvenirs, moccasins and other items. Today, Bob has a museum of Indian basketry, as well as baskets for sale north of Ducktrap on Route 1.”
