Welcome to Denmark, Maine
Purpose of website
The purpose of this website is not only to promote the upcoming books of "Denmark, Maine Past to Present" and "Digging up Homes and Families of Denmark, Maine", but to also make historical Denmark information available for everyone.
The book, the project
Denmark, Maine - Past to Present 2023 or 24 (edition)In 2023 I came across a pamphlet titled Denmark, Maine - Past and Present. It was a brief history of Denmark. I was fascinated by this booklet. It was done by three individuals in a short period of time for the Denmark Centennial in 1776. There was a lot of good historical information provided. Realizing there was also a lot of historical information that was not included, I realized that wanted the opportunity to redo the book and update the information to include everything not previously included. I also wanted to add more photos. I started digging into the history of Denmark, talking to the locals, and going through the archives in the Denmark Historical Society. Within two weeks, I realized there was going to be over another additional 100 pages of information to add to the previous pamphlet. Realizing this was too much information for a pamphlet, I realized this must be a book.
This project all started rolling in about April 2023 and has been non-stop since then. It’s a labor of love and maybe an obsession for me.
