Tall Tales

Can DescriptionsIn 1994, Natasha Mayers and students from the Whitefield Schools painted Central Maine Power Company Utility poles as part of the The Century Project initiated by the Maine Humanities Council. The poles serve as visual landmarks, each telling a part of the story of Whitefield, Maine, celebrating the town's history, some of its legends, and individuals who are part of that history.
