About The Sawyer Memorial

The Araxine Wilkins Sawyer Foundation functions under

statutes of the State of Maine and was established by

John Marshall Sawyer in 1935 as a memorial to his

mother, who was a great influence in his life. As a tribute

to her - for whom he had the deepest regard and

admiration - he built the Araxine Wilkins Sawyer Memorial

Building from which programs, free to the public, are

presented twice monthly on Fridays at 2pm and 7pm from March through November. Programs include narrated travel films, wildlife films, lectures, musicals, magic shows and more. Our purpose in part is "...educational and social. Specifically, to do good. To promote good citizenship. To support and encourage clean, wholesome pleasures, customs and usages..."

We would be pleased to have you join us for many pleasant hours of entertainment!
