On Monday, Aug. 6 at 7:30 p.m., The Friends of Colonial Pemaquid (FOCP) will sponsor, “Hidden in Plain Sight: Maine’s Enigmatic Stone Work,” the fourth program in its Summer Lecture Series, presented by Sue Carlson. The lecture is free to members, $5 for non-members.

Carlson is a long-time member of the New England Antiquities Research Association (NEARA), and has been studying the controversies, the evidence and the written record of the enigmatic stone structures found throughout the eastern seaboard, particularly those scattered all through the Maine woods where one finds stone piles, rambling walls, huge boulders, and a few baffling stone built chambers. Much of this is the clutter of 17^th through 19^th century settlers, some of which was constructed by Native Americans and other remains from forgotten visitors. Sue is past president of the Edgecomb Historical Society and publication chair of NEARA.

Attendees are invited to take advantage of the Lecture Night Dinner Special at the Contented Sole Restaurant on FOCP lecture nights. There will be a 15% discount off the menu price for all food items consumed in the restaurant between 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. The 15 percent discount includes entrees, starters and desserts, but is not extended to bar and drink items.

Mark your calendar for next week’s lecture series, entitled, “Founding Fish: Maine’s 17^th Century Cod Industry,” which will be held on Aug. 13.
