Nathaniel Hawthorne House

A major Silent Auction Fundraiser at Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Boyhood Home in Raymond, 40 Hawthorne Road, will be held on Saturday, June 3, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The funds are urgently needed to make repairs to structural deficiencies in the historic house’s roof, exterior siding, and interior walls. Support of the Silent Auction Fundraiser will help ensure that one of Maine’s most beloved literary/historical treasures will endure and thrive as a community events center, cultural icon, and point of local pride.

Among the dozens of attractive items to be auctioned at the boyhood home of the author of The Scarlet Letter will be a 2-Night Stay at The Inn at Ocean’s Edge, Penobscot Bay … A 5-Course Meal at Migis Lodge … 4 Portland Sea Dogs tickets … 2 tickets to Titanic at the Maine State Theatre … Pontoon Boat Rental at Moose Landing … a Handcrafted Christmas Reindeer & Wreath … and much more
