Then It Happened
Kudos to L. Blake Baldwin of Video Creations in Kennebunk for converting this 16mm film from our collection. It was produced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture after the Maine Fire of October 1947 to warn folks to prevent forest fires, “It happened in Maine so don’t let it happen to you.” Keep an eye out for shots in the Kennebunks in 1947. This is the clearest copy of this footage I have ever seen. Thanks, Blake!
