On Saturday, Oct. 3, Pejepscot Historical Society will present an afternoon of old-fashioned baseball at 1 p.m. at Bowdoin College’s Pickard Field.

Partnering with Maine’s Dirigo Vintage Base Ball Club, PHS will offer a demonstration of 1860s baseball and recreate the October 1860 baseball game between a team from Bowdoin College and a team from the town of Brunswick. PHS still has the bat that was turned locally by John Furbish the morning of that 1860 game and later signed by all the players, and will have it on display. It is said to be the second-oldest baseball bat in the United States.

Volunteer players from Bowdoin College and the town of Brunswick will compete against and with each other along with the Dirigo Vintage Base Ball Club.

Refreshments and 1860s-style baseball hats will be available for purchase. A $5 donation is suggested for attendees.
