Presenter Biography

Price Hutchins and his late wife, Ann, moved to Maine from Hopkinton, Massachusetts, where they owned and operated a 300-seat restaurant. Following a move from Bridgton to Lovell to support their son Eli’s education at Fryeburg Academy, the couple purchased a historic 1805 property on Main Street in 2001. While Price initially viewed the aging structure as a candidate for demolition, Ann’s vision inspired a long-term, ongoing restoration project. It was through this meticulous labor of love that Price eventually uncovered the remarkable collection of silent movie posters that serve as the centerpiece of his presentation today.
