AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS FOR MALCOLM BLUE HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

 

Whereas, the Malcolm Blue Historical Society was formed in the fall of 1972, to preserve the Malcolm Blue Farm on Route 5, in Aberdeen; and

Whereas, Mr. A.P. Johnson, a local building contractor, in 1974, was starting a residential development on this farm when he gave the old farmhouse to the group of interested citizens. He made the stipulation that the necessary repairs be made and that it be put to community use; and

Whereas, the society raised funds and with a bicentennial grant, the necessary repairs were made to the house and a master plan was drawn up showing the need of additional property. The site has been opened for several community activities; Now, therefore,
