Carpool Field Trip, Friday, September 19, 2025

We’re gathering a group of people to carpool together to South Berwick, Maine to visit two Historic New England properties: the Sarah Orne Jewett House and the Hamilton House. We’ll use the library’s passes so admission is free!

Itinerary:

  • Leave Tamworth at 10:30 AM
  • 12:00 PM house tour of Sarah Orne Jewett House
  • 1:15 PM picnic lunch (bring your own bag lunch, we’ll bring folding chairs) on the grounds of the Hamilton House
  • 2:00 PM house tour of Hamilton House
  • 4:30 PM arrive back in Tamworth

Call or stop in the library to sign up, and let us know if you want to volunteer to be a driver, or prefer to be a passenger. If you’re driving, we would need to verify insurance.

For individuals with limited mobility, note that both the Sarah Orne Jewett House and the Hamilton House have first floor accessible spaces, and both offer a virtual tour in their visitor center areas.
