Abstract

Renowned cook and author Julia Child first came to Maine to meet the family of her then boyfriend, Paul Child, staying in a partially constructed cabin on Mount Desert island. They married in 1946 and returned to Maine as often as they could. Brian Worcester, whose father bought Sawyer's Market in Southwest Harbor in 1959, recalled Julia Child coming into the store on a regular basis up until the mid-1990s. When she died in 2004, at the age of 91, some of her ashes were spread near the Childs's cabin.
