2024 newly researched "Area History Topic" about the North Bridgton Society for the prevention and detection of Crime
The North Bridgton Society for the Prevention and Detection of Crime, which was a volunteer
community
watch committee instituted in 1814, which until 1914 existed as a vigilante guild to protect against
horse theft in the region.
The idea was you paid to be
a member of the society, and if your property was stolen they would send out
a ten man riding
committee to scour the roads and apprehend the fugitives. This comes down from the
days before Sheriffs
regularly patrolled our region, and the stories of their escapades tracking down
criminals in this
region are exciting stuff. Their best detective was Sumner Burnham of Norway,
an ex-sheriff who did
much work in our region.
