Bethel, Maine, was founded in 1768 as “Sudbury Canada“, by settlers from Sudbury, Massachussetts, in commemoration of an invasion of Canada in 1690, during one of the French and Indian Wars. Every year there’s a “Sudbury Canada Days” encampment in Bethel, with the usual crowd of folks who like to dress up in funny clothes and sleep in tents. We caught them just as they were preparing to strike camp for the year and go back to the early 21st century.
