  • History and Archeology
    1. HISTORIC AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES Historic Overview Earle Shettleworth, Director of the Maine Historic Preservation Commission, cites Wiscasset as one of three architecturally significant villages in the state, along with the towns of Paris Hill and Castine. Samuel Chamberlain, in his book Towns of New England, chose Wiscasset to represent the State of Maine. He noted that millions were spent restoring Williamsburg, while Wiscasset remains essentially intact. Today, its abundance of classical architecture is evidenced by the inclusion of 10 structures in the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) of 1936 and the subsequent inclusion of five buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Buildings. In 1973, a large part of the Village/Historic District became a part of the National Register. In fact, much of the downtown area is a living field museum – and we hold the keys to its future. The first recorded settlement at Wiscasset was in 1660 by George and John Davie. By 1740, there were 30 families at Wiscasset Point, numbering about 150 people. Wiscasset Point was one of three parishes incorporated in Pownalborough in 1760. It took the name of Wiscasset in 1802. As Wiscasset prospered as a deep-harbor shipping port during the late 18th and 19th century, grander homes were built beyond the initial simple, smaller homes closer to the harbor. These include the Nickels-Sortwell House, the Wood-Foote House and the Governor Smith House. Other structures of note are the elegant brick courthouse, which is home to the longest continuously operating courthouse in the country; the Old Jail, in operation until the 1950s; the Wiscasset Library; the Town Common; the Sunken Garden; the Ancient Cemetery, and much more.

    ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Richard Elliott Day The Graduate School University of Kentucky 2003 EACH CHILD, EVERY CHILD - FROM EQUITY TO ADEQUACY IN KENTUCKY’S SCHOOLS: THE LEGACY OF THE COUNCIL FOR BETTER EDUCATION ________________________________________ ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION ________________________________________ A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education in the College of Education at the University of Kentucky By Richard Elliott Day Lexington, Kentucky Director: Dr. Susan Scollay, Associate Professor of Administration and Supervision Lexington, Kentucky 2003 Copyright © Richard Elliott Day 2003 ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION EACH CHILD, EVERY CHILD - FROM EQUITY TO ADEQUACY IN KENTUCKY’S SCHOOLS: THE LEGACY OF THE COUNCIL FOR BETTER EDUCATION Support for an efficient system of common schools has been a serious problem throughout Kentucky’s history. The General Assembly has long been content to allow Kentucky’s schools to rank among the lowest in the nation. This study attempts to put the current struggle for adequately funded public schools into an historical context, focusing on the Kentucky Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Rose v. Council for Better Education. The study examines this decision in light of present efforts to define and assure a proficient education for each and every child. The activities of the Council for Better Education were part of a national effort to determine a set of judicially manageable standards for equitable and adequate school funding. This study chronicles the activities of the Council for Better Education from its inception in 1984 through 1993 as Kentucky sought to implement a new system of common schools.

  • Index to Pioneers of American Landscape History
    PIONEERS OF AMERICAN LANDSCAPE DESIGN Index Note: Following the publication of Pioneers of American Landscape Design, LALH editors realized that a com- prehensive index to the book would be a useful resource for readers searching for places, individuals not represented by specific essays, or connective themes. With this in mind, we commissioned an index com- prising more than 2,500 entries, to be available as a downloadable document from our website. This project was initiated with a gift from LALH Trustee Elizabeth Barlow Rogers and completed with generous donations of time and editorial acumen from Mary Bellino. © 2008 by Library of American Landscape History Italicized page numbers refer to in-text illustrations.
