GUILFORD - The town of Guilford will celebrate this 4th of July with a presentation of the Goldstars Tribute Wall. This unique presentation honors all those service men and women who have fallen in the Gulf, Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Three motorcycle groups will es**rt the 42-foot trailer carrying the wall from the Somerset Pour House in Newport to the recreation fields in Guilford. The Legion Riders, the Widows Sons and Elks Riders will leave at 10 am on Thursday, July 3 and proceed down Route 7 through Corinna, Dexter and Dover-Foxcroft. From there the group will take Route 15 to Guilford and the town’s recreation fields along the Piscataquis River. Everyone is invited to come and celebrate the 4th of July by honoring these fallen heroes. The wall will be open to the public from 5 pm to 10:00 pm on Thursday, July 3 and from 8 am to 10:00 pm on Friday, July 4 and Saturday, July 5. It is the only scheduled appearance of the wall in Maine this year. The Goldstar Wall has the names and branches of the service of more than 7,500 soldiers. When assembled it is 91 feet long and 9 feet tall. Press Note: For more information you may go to tributewall.org or contact the Guilford town office at 876-2202 or at [email protected].

Today the Guilford Historical Society received a large donation of Memorandums, a few Rostrums and several large scrapbooks from the PCSS library. We are thrilled to have received all of the additional yearbooks as our archives now have at least one copy of Rostrums from 1904 to 1949. We have at least one copy of Memorandums from 1950 to 2025 except for yearbooks for 1989, 1996, 1998, 2007, 2012 and 2020. If you have one of these years and would be willing to donate a copy to the Historical Society it would be greatly appreciated.
