Join Maine Historical Society for a guided tour of our exhibit Pathways to Freedom with Collections Curator Tiffany Link.
These tours will explore the different perspectives of the American Revolution by following the lives of six remarkable Mainers who experienced the conflict up close. Join us to learn about Maine's important role in the American Revolution and our nation's continuing effort to uphold our founding principles—including Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Our first tour in this series is April 1. Each tour will focus on a different topic featured in the exhibit:
- April 1: Origins of the War & Divided Loyalties
- June 3: War in the Woods and on the Seas
- August 5: The Burning of Falmouth and the Declaration of Independence
- October 7: The Penobscot Expedition, the End of the War, and The War in American Memory
