Seeking Kittery's Oldest Citizen for the Boston Post Cane Honor

The Town of Kittery, in association with the Kittery Historical & Naval Museum, is seeking its oldest citizen to be the next recipient of the Boston Post Cane.  The Boston Post Cane is presented to the oldest resident in Town along with a proclamation of achievement. The gold-headed cane was originally received by the Town in 1909 by Edwin A. Grozier, Publisher of the Boston Post, and was first awarded to Joseph P. Jenkins in 1910.  The Boston Post Cane is displayed at Town Hall, along with a copy of the proclamation and a photo of the recipient for the remainder of the recipient's life or until they move from the Town of Kittery.

The Town of Kittery is accepting submissions for new recipients of this honor until March 11, 2021.  To submit a citizen for this honor, please contact the Town Clerk, Karen Estee at 207-475-1313 or kestee@kitteryme.org, and include a name, along with a date of birth.
