Pemaquid Point, Maine — July 17–20, 2025
2025 Grand Reunion
The Blaisdell Family National Association's 10-year Grand Reunion was held at Pemaquid Point, Maine — the very shore where Ralf Bleasdale first set foot in America on August 14, 1635.
A Historic Milestone
Rededication of the Blaisdell Plaque
A highlight of the 2025 reunion was the rededication of the restored Blaisdell commemorative plaque at Pemaquid Point. The original plaque had suffered severe deterioration over the years, with significant loss of surface detail. Thanks to the dedication of BFNA members and supporters, the plaque was fully restored and rededicated during the reunion on July 20, 2025, with the new Board of Directors elected at the same gathering.
