PRESERVATION
The same natural forces that make the Marginal Way so unique and beautiful have also caused serious damage to vulnerable sections of the path. Decades of storms have taken a toll.
The Town of Ogunquit has maintained the Marginal Way for more than 80 years with federal funding playing a key role in replacing weather damaged sections of the path. But an increasing number of periodic storms - including the dramatic damage of the Patriots Day storm of 2007 -- have undermined several sections of the footpath, requiring extensive and costly repairs on an annual basis. And the Army Corps of Engineers is no longer providing funding for maintenance. As a result, the burden for upkeep falls squarely on the shoulders of the townspeople.
In order to raise the funds to keep the Marginal Way safe and accessible, the Marginal Way Preservation Fund Committee - an all-volunteer board -- has launched a 5-year capital campaign to raise money to fund the restoration and long-term preservation of the Marginal Way. We are relying on donors, like you, for support.
All donations for $20 and above will receive a complementary video postcard of the Marginal Way.
100% of all donations go directly to the Marginal Way Preservation Fund ensuring the future of this unique resource.
