About The Sawyer Memorial

The Araxine Wilkins Sawyer Foundation located in Greene, Maine was established by John Marshall Sawyer in 1935

as a memorial to his mother and functions under statutes of the State of Maine.

Mr. Sawyer's mother was a great influence in his life and as a tribute to her - for whom he had the deepest regard and

admiration - he built the Araxine Wilkins Sawyer Memorial Building from which programs, free to the public, are presented

on two successive days twice monthly, March through November, except as noted.

Programs include narrated travel films, wildlife films, lectures, musicals, magic shows and more. Our purpose in

part is "...educational and social. Specifically, to do good. To promote good citizenship. To support and encourage

clean, wholesome pleasures, customs and usages..."
