Tea and Kate

The Maine Logging Museum which also houses Leonards Mill holds an annual event when the alewives run in the spring. The alewives are returning to a native local pond from which they had been extirpated, following the removal of a local dam. Their numbers have exploded from a few thousand to nearly half 1000,000 this year. Volunteers and fish and wildlife personnel explain the restoration and the new fish ladder and help us catch some alewives for smoking.
