Mountain
Open House
Rare One-day Opportunity to Tour Historic Borestone Mountain Lodges
Come
on up from 1-4 p.m. on Sunday, June 26 for an open house and
cookout at Borestone Mountain Audubon Sanctuary.
If you haven’t
yet
experienced the beauty of this Piscataquis County landmark, this
is a
great chance to enjoy breathtaking views and the sanctuary’s
historic
Adirondack lodges.
Visitors will learn why and how these one-of-a-kind lodges were
designed in 1909 for a fox farm, along with stories such as how a
baby grand piano was delivered to a site that’s accessible
only by foot and small boats.
They also will find out more about
Maine Audubon’s ongoing restoration of the lodges and its work
for wildlife conservation at the 1,600-acre sanctuary the organization
became owner of five years ago.
