Pejepscot History Center
The Stover family in South Harpswell used this rolling pin in the 1840s to make gingerbread for militia musters held on the Mall (the public common on Maine Street in Brunswick).
Musters were annual events with parades and prizes that sometimes turned rowdy, perhaps because of the rum served with the gingerbread!
