Maine's Indigenous history

The Rowley Library is hosting a virtual lecture by Sharon Kitchens on August 20, focusing on locations in Maine that inspired Stephen King's works, requiring prior registration for attendees. Meanwhile, climate change poses a significant threat to Maine's Indigenous history, with rising sea levels endangering thousands of historic sites along the coast, prompting urgent archaeological efforts to preserve these remnants. In Oliver Springs, Julia Hopper Daniel has successfully opened the Tri-County African American Cultural Museum, which highlights African American history in three counties and includes volunteer contributions from the community. Additionally, a new podcast titled 'Dead Writers' explores the lives and homes of notable Maine authors, featuring discussions on literature and history. The podcast airs on Maine Public Radio, bringing literary history to a modern audience. These diverse events reflect ongoing efforts to preserve cultural heritage and highlight historical narratives in Maine.
