OQUOSSOC – On Saturday, June 25 at 11 a.m. the Outdoor Sporting Heritage Museum will dedicate a new exterior exhibit on its grounds as part of the Oquossoc Lupine Festival.

The exhibit will premiere a 13,000 year old stone meat cache that was once used by Native American families harvesting migrating Caribou along the Magalloway River Valley. This example of Native American food preservation and resourcefulness is more than twice as old as Stonehenge. Special thanks to the Maine State Museum for the use of the photo and for its help in making this exhibit possible.

The public is invited to attend the 11 a.m. dedication, enjoy cake and lemonade refreshments and all attendees are invited to visit the museum free of charge from 10 a.m. until noon in celebration of this important artifact from our region’s amazing outdoor history. Also on hand from 11-3 p.m. will be IFW Commissioner Chandler Woodcock tying flies and answering questions as well as expert woodcarver Sol Fast.

The Outdoor Sporting Heritage Museum will be open seven days a week from 10-4 p.m. in July and August and can we be reached at 864-3091 or via email at: info@rangeleyoutdoormuseum.org
