A truly exceptional and rare survivor, being a rather nicely preserved 13 x 17 inch broadside for the Steamer Sebenoa, advertising trips to the Methodist Camp Meeting at Dresden, Maine. Camp meetings were held at Dresden on the Hawthorn Farm as early as 1835 and found a more permanent home with the acquisition of land in 1868 by the Kennebec Valley Camp Meeting Association.
