On May 17, the Oakfield Historical Society held their annual meeting with election of officers and directors for 2011-12. The following officers were elected: Art Collier, president; Max Lynds, vice president; Marilyn Burton, secretary; and Connie Bartlett, treasurer. The five directors include, Linnwood Hersey, Brenda Rodgerson, Alberta McDonald, Don Marley and Wayne Lunn.
The Oakfield Railroad Museum will open for the 21st season on Saturday, May 28, and will be open each Saturday and Sunday afternoon from 1- 4 p.m. The museum is always seeking volunteers to work those shifts from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
The officers and directors are busy preparing for the Oakfield Railroad Museum’s Railfan Day, planned for Saturday, July 23. They are asking folks to save the date! Railfan Day will have special meaning and celebration this year, as the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad Station turned 100 years old in 2010.
