MEETING/ SPEAKER; Today, Scott Stevens of the York Historical Society spoke to us reference the Ramsdell house on Lindsey road. It was very interesting in how initially the house was thought to be one of the oldest existing structure in the area, however as the historians went deeper into the structure that was not the case. The York Historical Society has done a great job investigating this house and have answered many questions, however it is very unique that the Historical Society has as many new questions about this house resulting from the work as it did when the project started.
