PORTLAND Magazine Features Article on Hewnoaks

The December 2009 issue of PORTLAND Magazine featured an article on Hewnoaks that was bequeathed to the University of Maine Foundation by Jessie Volk. Volk was the daughter-in-law of Douglas Volk whose work became well known when his portrait of Abraham Lincoln, which still hangs in the National Gallery in Washington, D.C., was used as the basis for the three-cent stamp.

The Foundation currently leases the property to Camp Susan Curtis as a summer arts center for their disadvantaged and at-risk young campers.
