At Sipayik, Edison phonograph will help tell Passamaquoddy history

By Sarah Craighead Dedmon

Dwayne Tomah is delighted. 

He’s on his way home from Jonesport, where the local historical society has just offered to lend him an original 1901 Edison phonograph. Passing through Machias, he can’t resist stopping to share the excitement with fellow history enthusiast, Carlene Holmes, who organizes Machias’ Revolutionary-era history festival, Margaretta Days.

Holmes is delighted, too.
