Though we never met Robert Golding, he helped give us a glimpse of what life was like on our farm. A local legend; Rob was a hunter, guide, woodsman, farmer and gifted storyteller. His friend, Archie Stewart documented through movies and audio reels hunting and fishing expeditions and Rob telling his stories. They are archived at Northeast Historic Film and the Maine Folklife Center.
