Note from the Web Skipper

This site is being created and moderated by Burr Taylor (bwt), Cundy's Harbor. I have many opinions. I confess to be very concerned about town government. However, I only learn from opinions different from my own. I feel committed to providing a way for people to express themselves in a "civilized" manner about anything to do with Harpswell. I also hope to provide links to sites containing items of interest to the people of Harpswell

If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact him by email at one of the links to the left; or by telephone at 725-2802; or by mail at 45 Taylor Rd., Harpswell, ME  040789. This site is not sponsored by the Town of Harpswell and in no way is the Town responsible for anything on this site.
