A Massabesic Middle School eighth-grader has taken top prize in this year’s essay contest sponsored by the Friends of Alfred Shaker Museum.
Molly Doyle of West Newfield, daughter of Brian and Mary Doyle, has won top prize with an essay about the museum’s mural completed by artist Sandra Howe in 2011. It is her second consecutive prize-winning contest essay.
FASM presented her prize on Saturday, May 17, in an afternoon ceremony at the museum. She won $125 and a print of a scene on Shaker Hill by local artist Robert Arsenault.
For her essay, Doyle interviewed Howe and interpreted details of the mural scene. The mural is a historically accurate depiction of Alfred Shaker village on a summer’s day about 1875.
