Have you ever wondered about the history of Topsham or your homestead?
Or about your Topsham ancestors? Or what a snowroller looks like and when was one used in town (V2, Page 310)? Who was Charles Ross Taggart who is on the plaque outside of the town hall (V2, Page 336)? What is the Topsham Fairy Story and how does it relate to the Chickadees we see in winter (V1, Page 561)? Where did the name, Topsham, originate (V2, Page 26)?
The answers to these and many more historical and genealogical questions can be found inside:
Topsham Sketches II, Volumes One and Two!
These volumes created by the Topsham History Committee share amazing insights into the people, lands, homes, schools and businesses of Topsham from our early settlers to more contemporary times.
If you would like one or both of the volumes, you can find them available at the Town Clerk’s office for a donation of your choice.
