The Town is planning to revive the tradition of awarding the Boston Post Cane to the Town’s oldest living resident. The person must have lived in Gorham for most of the most recent 10 year period and be willing to receive the honor. If you know of someone who might qualify, please contact the Town Clerk’s Office at 207-222-1670 to fill out a nomination form. Paperwork will be available until May 30th.

Gorham residents, USM students and all area residents can take advantage of the benefits of riding the Metro Husky Line which connects Gorham, Westbrook, Portland and both USM campuses. The Husky line also stops at Westbrook Row Crossing as well as Congress Street, Ocean Gateway and the ferry terminal in the Old Port. For information about fares, schedule and stops, please go to http://gpmetro.org/318/Husky-line.
