Faces of Founders: Hiram, Maine

Sally Williams of Hiram, Maine

The founders of Hiram, Maine, and their wives and children are fascinating—pioneers all, war heroes some, scoundrels a few. The stories of forty-five settler families focus on the period from 1774–1830, a time of adventure and energy. Stories are both unique to Hiram and universal, some of which are told in Faces of Founders: Hiram, Maine for the first time.

Coming Soon!

Sally Williams is president of Hiram Historical Society and town historian of Hiram, Maine. Early records thought lost inspired her to write the settlers’ stories. She continues relentlessly to research the history of Hiram and vicinity.
