York, Elizabeth Perkins Museum
We didn’t know of Ms Perkins, so we Googled, and it’s interesting how many different people named Elizabeth Perkins are connected with museums. Only one in York, though, and Tripadvisor somewhat laconically describes her as “the founder of the Old York Historical Society, (and) used to spend time here with Mark Twain.” We’ve no doubt there was more to her, and the house, than that. Unused card. Grade: 1

Scarborough Downs
Unused Dexter Press card 21598-B, whose caption commemorates the track’s 10th anniversary. So of course we went to Wikipedia, whose heavily abridged entry said: “Scarborough Downs Race Track was Maine’s largest race track. It held final races on November 28 or 30, 2020. Built in 1949 and completed in 1950, harness racing was introduced in the 1960s and for a while the track hosted both types of horse racing. However, in September 1972 the track became solely a harness racing track. On October 1, 1980, a pre-dawn fire, ignited as the result of an overloaded electrical box, destroyed a 240-foot barn, killing 11 horses. The racing meet was to move to Cumberland Fairgrounds.” We did not pursue this but you get the idea. Grade: 1
