Images from Doris Pendleton's photo collection
The bridge separating Wiscasset And Edgecomb was originally made of 12-foot wooden planks. Doris Pendleton remembers that she was able to see the water. She said she remembers hoping the planks would go back down.
Long before cars, horse and oxen caused the traffic to line up on Main Street in Wiscasset.
