The 2025 Jane’s Walk in downtown Van Buren, Maine will begin in front of Family Dollar and will proceed down the street to approximately the base of McKinley Street. Local historians will present information and photos from days gone by. We will discuss the histories of approximately 10 buildings and many businesses, including (but not limited to): Hobart’s; The Blue Moon; The Boston Clothing Co.; B&M Coins and Sporting Goods; Findlen’s Drugs; The Memory Box; Lloyd’s Pizza House; Hilda’s Dress Shop; Leo’s Barber Shop; Charette’s Jewelry; Ezzy’s Music Shop; A&P; Gilbert’s Auto Supply; and Northern National Bank.
The walking distance will be short, and on level terrain; attendees should wear comfortable shoes and should bring a jacket or sweatshirt that can be put on or taken off easily. Attendees are also welcome to bring a portable chair (or something similar) for sitting.
Accessibility:
The terrain is quite level, and the walking distance is short. Attendees are very welcome to bring a portable chair (or something similar) for sitting.
Starting Location:
We will meet in front of the Family Dollar store in downtown Van Buren. The store is in a wide, one-story building on the southwest side of Main Street; the building is medium-brown and is set back a bit from the street, but is easily visible by car or on foot. Look for a small crowd of happy people! (There is also plenty of parking nearby.)
Ending Location:
We hope to get as far as the base of McKinley Street, near the Dead River Co. building.
