Images of America: Lakewood Park
From the stately homes of early entrepreneurs to tragic fires and floods and the rise and decline of Saco's powerful textile mills, Saco has been in a constant flux of both change and preservation.
In a new book by Arcadia Publishing, members of the Dyer Library and Saco Museum have collaborated to present Saco’s vibrant and varied history in photographs.
