CHERRYFIELD – One private cemetery and 10 historic buildings, including five private homes and gardens, will be open to the public on Saturday, Aug. 4, between 1 and 4:30 p.m. for an Architectural Tour sponsored by the Cherryfield-Narraguagus Historical Society.

This is the first time any of these beautiful old homes has been opened to the public, according to sponsors.

Among places open for viewing are the General Alexander Campbell House, the Archibald-Adams House and the private Pine Grove Cemetery.
