Please join the Machiasport Historical Society for our first ever “Trick or Treat and Mystery & History Tour at the Gates House” Saturday, October 25, from 2 to 5 pm.  Machiasport enjoys a treasure trove of stories and folklore that are every bit a part of the history of our region, and we would love to share them with you with a Mystery and History Tour of the Gates House.  Learn about the unexplained noises we sometimes hear upstairs and the shifting eyes from our creepy-looking dolls!  Hear about the “Battle of the Margaretta,” the first naval engagement of the American Revolutionary War, the shipwrecks in our surrounding waters, and the tragedy of a cursed ship.  All ages are welcome, and of course we will have treats for all the visitors throughout the tour and gift bags at the end for the school-age children.  Join us, “IF YOU DARE” for a fun and educational experience in a historic home built in 1810 along the banks of the historic & legendary Machias River. The Gates House is located at 344 Port Road, Machiasport, Maine.
