Natalie Boomer
Local picker Brian Smith has found a literal piece of American history right in our small town of Calais, Maine.
He took a document that was a mystery to many and brought its history back to life.
According to Smith, a note he obtained has various signatures from confidential agents and personal friends of President George Washington who sold their land to him and the federal government to establish the nation’s capital.
