An Historic Year for the Library!

was an historic year for the library. 2013 We received National Historic Landmark recognition for the Library and Amphitheatre. And as happens at such times, it caused us to reflect on the past and on the library’s beginnings. Camden’s library and grounds owe an extraordinary debt to a woman with far-sighted ideas. In the language of stories, this woman was our fairy godmother. . .

Once upon a time the Town of Camden had no library. It had no amphitheatre. It had no park along the harbor. But it did have a woman with a vision. That woman was Mary Louise , and her story is our story.

Mary Louise Curtis was born into Society Nikki Maounis, Executive Director to well-off parents. She was the only child of newspaper magnate Cyrus Curtis. Her mother, Louisa Knapp Curtis, in Camden. She helped fund the hanging flower basket a progressive person, was the founder and first editor of program in Camden that still hangs baskets each spring. the Ladies Home Journal. At just thirteen years of age, And in 1916 she donated a prime piece of property to the Mary Louise began writing for the magazine. The family Town of Camden for the purpose of a public library. summered in Maine and came to own a house on the coast in Rockport. She and her family began what was to be a Here is where the story gets interesting. While she donated long history of philanthropy in the area. the land, she did NOT donate money to build the library. She wanted this library to be a shared endeavor of Mary Louise married and together they townspeople working together for their community. So sponsored many village improvements in Camden and she and her friends formed a group to raise funds to build Rockport. She helped found the Curtis Institute of Music in the library. It took them almost ten years to raise the funds Philadelphia which had its summer home in Rockport, and around town--there was a war on after all. By the mid 1920s which we know today as Bay Chamber Concerts. the funds had been raised. Architectural plans were drawn up, construction began in 1927 and was completed the She was a moving force in the creation of the Village Green following year. Most people would have called it a job well done, but not our Mary Louise. Instead, she turned her attention to the grounds.

All the while she had been raising funds to build the library, she had been quietly and intentionally purchasing lots along both sides of Atlantic Avenue. She had a vision for the town and she felt the library alone was not enough. She wanted to create the best possible setting for this library. Mary Louise contracted with landscape architect Fletcher Steele to begin construction on the Amphitheatre next Directors Report Folder: Girl to the Library. At the same time, she asked the Olmsted with 2 books or other shot that Brothers firm to build Harbor Park on the other side of the street. She envisioned two separate parks with two looks good. “The library is an essential service to this community!” - library member

Dave Jackson, Parks Director Harbor Park & Amphitheatre

was a year to remember in the history of the Amphitheatre 2013and the library. After years of dedicated effort to be recognized as a National Historic Landmark, Parks Director Dave Jackson received the notification in March.

Dave has been managing the day-to-day operations of the Amphitheatre and Harbor Park for many years—overseeing the care of its gardens and grounds, coordinating its busy rental schedule for festivals and weddings, and advocating on its behalf for preservation and upkeep. This year we celebrated Dave’s outstanding service to the community, with his recognition as the Midcoast’s Person of the Year.

A sparkling, sunny July day was the perfect setting for the National Park Service dedication. Friends of the library were invited to join the festivities in 1930s period costume. Under a tent in the Amphitheatre, a Park Service representative, elected officials, and more than two hundred guests honored Dave and all those who had worked tirelessly for the library to receive this honor as an historic treasure.

The library staff welcomes thousands of visitors each year to enjoy the Amphitheatre and library. Now people enjoy it today and can also learn about its important role in the history of Camden and American landscape architecture. w The National Historic Landmark plaque is prominently positioned at the entrance of the Amphitheatre w A brochure is displayed for visitors with the history and current uses of the Amphitheatre w The Amphitheatre’s historic documents are available to the public at the Walsh History Center

National Historic Landmark designation is also beneficial to the ongoing preservation work on the Amphitheatre and library. As a National Historic Landmark, the library successfully applied for and was granted support by the Belvedere Fund for Historic Preservation. With this grant, preservation work on part of the original wrought iron railings is scheduled for Summer 2014.
