We were finally able to install the two mural panes created by students in the APEX afterschool program.They illustrate a true story about some white children
playing baseball in a field in Freeport in 1918. One of the boys hit a fly ball that happened to coincide with a train enroute to Halifax,Nova Scotia.A tall black Pullman Porter standing in the vestibule caught the ball and that started a relationship between a group of young,white children and possibly the only black man they ever met.
Stop by and see the murals! On view from the Train platform 24/7. Thanks to the City of Saco for supporting this installation! and to Andrew Dickinson for these
photographs.
