A record-setting religious revival swept the environs of New Gloucester in 1791, and the town was never quite the same again. Historian Holly Hurd will tell the tale on Thursday, Oct. 15 beginning at 7 p.m. at the First Congregational Church, 19 Gloucester Hill Road, New Gloucester. The talk is sponsored by both the New Gloucester Historical Society and the church, which is celebrating its 250th anniversary. Refreshments will be served at this talk that is free and open to the public.
