Book Launch - Celebrating Moore's Mills

The launch for the book Moore's Mills: Life in a New Brunswick Village - Voices from the 1890's by Graydon Mitchell (pictured here with Eileen Dick McGaw) took place in the former Moore's Mills school house on Saturday, December 6, 2008. The book signing and sale event was attended by over 50 residents, former residents and relatives of both groups. It was a great opportunity for friends and neighbours to catch up on the current news of the day and to share memories of growing up and living in Moore's Mills.

The hard-covered book is a pictorial history of the village and features over 200 pages of photographs and information on Moore's Mills during the 1890's. It includes chapters on the village and mills, churches and cemeteries, public buildings, businesses, life and times, homesteads and villagers, history in prose, history in verse, Cape Ann Association and descendants of William Moore.

The book launch also coincides with the commemoration of the village’s 225th anniversary of its founding in 1783. Copies of the book have been donated to The Charlotte County Museum in Milltown, The St. Croix Public Library in St. Stephen and The Ross Memorial Library in St. Andrews for public viewing.
