Curious about Wooden Canoes
The original Old Town Canoe Shop has been owned by the City of Old Town since the shop completed the relocation approximately a year ago. Attempts by the City to utilize the site and existing structures have not been successful to date. A redevelopment opportunity that involves remediating the site is actively being pursued and plans are in place to tear down the factory in the fall of 2012.
If anyone has an interest in site souvenirs such as bricks, lumber, etc please get in touch with either myself (wrlovejoy@gmail.com) or David Wight at the City of Old Town (david.wight@old-town.org). The shop is essentially empty and nothing of material or scrap value remains.
With the right amount of coaxing, begging, pleading or bartering it may even be possible to have Benson (or some other member of the Gray family) autograph and/or authenticate the memorabilia.
Pictures of the shop as it sits today are attached.
