Situated around the neighborhoods of Harmon Park and Moulton Park, the tour includes access to four private homes, which range in date from the 1700s to the 2000s, as well as the historic Sayward-Wheeler House (owned by Historic New England), York Harbor Inn’s 1730 Harbor Crest Inn (formerly the Mercer Mansion), and St. George’s Episcopal Church. “We are delighted that Open Doors will return to York Harbor this year,” says Joel Lefever, executive director of Old

Library Celebrates Expansion with Grand Opening WELLS On Saturday, June 16, the Wells Public Library at 1434 Post Road will celebrate the opening of their new wing with a Grand Opening Dedication Ceremony beginning at 11 a.m. and continuing until the library closes at 1 p.m. The addition of the new wing was a long time coming. The process began in 2008 with just a dream of what the expansion could be and what it could look like. After 4 years of fundraising that included pledges, gifts, and in-kind donations, the Library Board of Trustees and Friends of the Library were able to raise one million dollars to make this dream a reality.
And now a 3,340 square foot monument to all that hard work stands ready to be enjoyed by town residents and visitors. The new addition focuses primarily on people spaces. There will be a community program room with state of the art presentation technology and

The additional space also has administrative areas and staff offices which will free up the smaller meeting room in the existing library for public use during library hours and allow for additional remodeling of the current staff room as a “phase 2” portion of the expansion project. The public is invited to tour the new wing, enjoy a light refreshment and snack, and participate in some of the ongoing adult and kids activities. The library will also have an area set up for new patrons who would like to become a member of the Wells Library.
