But by the mid-nineteenth century huge institutional prison complexes were being built all over the country. Aimée Keithan examines the development of penal and judicial architecture using the Pownalborough Courthouse\, Wiscasset Old Jail\, and other examples to illustrate that changes in architectural design were intended to deliberately manipulate the behavior of those accused of crime\, attempting to shape them into “productive” members of society.  \n  \n \n  \nAimée Keithan\, Ph.D. is a buildings archaeologist and architectural historian\, currently working as Pejepscot History Center’s Museum Services Manager in Brunswick. She has held research fellowships at  \nGeorge Washington’s Mount Vernon and the Preservation of Newport County in Rhode Island. Her research focuses on using the material culture of architecture to reveal the history of marginalized populations.  \n  \nPlease register using the form below.

Then\, as today\, criminalization intersects with social issues like race\, gender\, and class. In this talk\, Aimée Keithan delves into the people behind the crimes. Using Jailer’s Accounts to place the accused within the physical environment of the Wiscasset Old Jail\, she shares how social biases impacted prisoners’ lives\, and begins to restore the humanity and stories of individuals who history has suppressed.  \n  \n \nAbout our Speaker: \n  \nAimée Keithan\, Ph.D. is a buildings archaeologist and architectural historian\, currently working as Pejepscot History Center’s Museum Services Manager in Brunswick.

Words of wisdom\, often from the Bible\, stitched on to a piece of fabric? The alphabet\, in capital and small letters\, embroidered in a cross-stitch in both cursive and block letters? And one form of needlework often signed by the maker\, unlike so many other kinds of needlecraft made by women before the twentieth century. This program explores the ways in which samplers are a part of American culture and folklore. Using images of antique samplers\, Ms. Jerome discusses some of the definitions and ideas surrounding the word “sampler.” What pictures come to mind? How has the term evolved through time? Ms. Jerome explores how textile history and technological changes in fabric production influenced the slow demise of samplers during the 19th century. \n\n\n\nSusan J. Jerome is the Collections Manager at the University of Rhode Island Historic Textile and Costume Collection. She earned her MS degree from the URI Department of Textiles\, Fashion Merchandising and Design. Ms. Jerome works as a textile conservator and consultant for private clients\, museums and historical societies. An avid textilian\, she is happiest when writing\, talking and doing all things textile. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParticipants will: \n\n\n\n1.  Learn about textile history and how the development of cheap cotton fabrics influenced sampler making in 19th century America. \n\n\n\n2.  Explore the different meanings of the word “sampler” and why sampler making today is considered to be a “leisure time” activity. \n\n\n\n3.  Learn how to properly store textile heirlooms for future generations. \n\n\n\n4.  Learn something about family samplers. \n\n\n\n5.  Be able to ask questions relevant to textile and sampler history. \n\n\n\n\nInterested?

After she discovered the novels of Sir Walter Scott and modestly finding them superior to her own\, she decided to retract all undistributed copies from her publishers and libraries. Since the 1960s\, she has been the subject of feminist scholars\, and rediscovered by literary historians and critics to international acclaim.   \nAlice Smith Duncan\, an independent researcher\, writer\, lecturer\, and longtime Lincoln County Historical Association volunteer\, has curated three prior exhibitions for LCHA: “First Efforts of an Infant Hand: Early Samplers from Lincoln County” (2001)\, “On Eagles’ Wings: 19th century Symbols of Patriotism” (2002)\, and “Dungeons and Dragons\, Sailors and Jailors: The Language of 19th century Sailors’ Tattoos” (2017)\, as well as art and history exhibitions for Arkell Museum (arkellmuseum.org) and many history sites and associations in New York’s Mohawk Valley.  The former Executive Director of Hyde Hall\, she wrote “Sir Francis Drake and the Struggle for an Ocean Empire\,” and is currently at work on a memoir of her mother’s life in 1940s Maine and Greenwich Village\, and a biography of 19th century artist/historian Rufus Grider. Duncan has been awarded grants\, fellowships and residencies from the New York State Council on the Arts\, Columbia University\, the Moravian Archives\,  Salem Art Works/Salem2Salem (New York and Germany)\, the Snow Foundation\, the New York History Association\, and the Decorative Arts Trust. \nREGISTER FOR ZOOM TALK HERE:\n \n  URL:https://www.lincolncountyhistory.org/event/rediscovering-madam-sally-wood-maines-first-woman-novelist-and-americas-first-gothic-novelist/ LOCATION:Online END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220616T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220616T180000 DTSTAMP:20260604T081449 CREATED:20220609T164737Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220609T170246Z UID:2972-1655402400-1655402400@www.lincolncountyhistory.org SUMMARY:The Ride of Her Life: Bestselling Author Elizabeth Letts shares the story of Annie Wilkins DESCRIPTION:Zoom presentation. #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Elizabeth Letts shares the story of Annie Wilkins\, who embarked on an incredible adventure\, wrote about it\, and retired in Lincoln County – becoming one of Lincoln County’s most intriguing Woman Writers. Registration is free\, donations gratefully accepted to support LCHA programs and events! \n  About the book: \nIt was 1954\, and 63-year-old Maine farmer Annie Wilkins’s odds were looking bleak. She had no money\, no family\, and had just lost her farm. When it seemed like things couldn’t get much worse\, they did—according to her doctor\, she had only two years left to live. For most\, this would‘ve marked the beginning of the end. But most weren’t Annie Wilkins. \nFrom #1 New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Letts comes the remarkable true story of a woman\, her horse\, and their last-chance journey across America called THE RIDE OF HER LIFE (On sale 6/7; Ballantine Trade Paperback)\, now available in paperback! \nDetermined to see the Pacific Ocean before she died\, Annie ignored her doctor’s advice to “take it easy\,” choosing instead to purchase a cast-off horse named Tarzan\, dress in men’s dungarees\, and with her faithful mutt\, Depeche Toi (French for “hurry up”) in tow\, head south in mid-November\, hoping to beat the snow.\nPersonifying the very best of the American spirit—determination\, grit\, bravery\, adventure\, good humor—Annie and her four-legged companions captured the hearts (and media attention!) of people everywhere. In a decade when car ownership nearly tripled\, television’s influence was quickly expanding\, rotary phones became widely embraced by the masses\, and when homeowners began locking their doors\, \, this motley crew of loveable misfits inspired an outpouring of kindness and hospitality in a rapidly changing world. \n  \n \n  \n \n  URL:https://www.lincolncountyhistory.org/event/the-ride-of-her-life-bestselling-author-elizabeth-letts-shares-the-story-of-annie-wilkins/ LOCATION:ME END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220611 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20220612 DTSTAMP:20260604T081449 CREATED:20220419T220341Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220419T220341Z UID:2858-1654905600-1654991999@www.lincolncountyhistory.org SUMMARY:Reenactor Encampment DESCRIPTION:Colonial reenactors will be demonstrating what life was like in the 1750s New England.

This is a virtual event that will take place over Zoom. \nMaine native Kate Flora’s fascination with people’s criminal tendencies began in the Maine attorney general’s office. Deadbeat dads\, people who hurt their kids\, and employers’ discrimination aroused her curiosity about human behavior. The author of twenty-four books and many short stories\, Flora’s been a finalist for the Edgar\, Agatha\, Anthony\, and Derringer awards. She won the Public Safety Writers Association award for nonfiction and twice won the Maine Literary Award for crime fiction.

Her crime story collection is Careful What You Wish For: Stories of revenge\, retribution\, and the world made right.  \n  \nFlora is a founding member of the New England Crime Bake and the Maine Crime Wave and runs the blog Maine Crime Writers https://mainecrimewriters.com. Flora’s nonfiction focuses on aspects of the public safety officers’ experience and includes the Maine Literary Award finalist A Good Man with a Dog\, a Maine game warden’s memoir. She divides her time between Massachusetts and Maine\, where she gardens and cooks and watches the clouds when she’s not imagining her character’s dark deeds. She occasionally swims in the shark-filled sea. She’s been married for decades to an excellent man. Her sons edit films and hang out in research labs. \nRegistration donations offset program costs and support LCHA’s continued efforts to collect\, preserve\, and interpret this history of Lincoln County. \nREGISTER BELOW\n  \n\n \nKate Flora Registration \n\n  URL:https://www.lincolncountyhistory.org/event/maines-mystery-writing-lea-wait-with-kate-flora/ LOCATION:Zoom END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220524T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220524T170000 DTSTAMP:20260604T081449 CREATED:20220919T144550Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220929T204828Z UID:3222-1653379200-1653411600@www.lincolncountyhistory.org SUMMARY:Calling All Book Clubs - a special look at our Women Writers of Lincoln County Exhibition DESCRIPTION:Calling all Book Clubs\,  Members of any book groups are invited to view the Women Writers of Lincoln County Exhibit   displayed at the Old Jail Museum  with exhibit coordinator Alice Smith Duncan. \n  \nAdmission $5 per person. \nTime TBD URL:https://www.lincolncountyhistory.org/event/calling-all-book-clubs-a-special-look-at-our-women-writers-of-lincoln-county-exhibition/ LOCATION:ME END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220520T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220520T120000 DTSTAMP:20260604T081449 CREATED:20220419T220538Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220419T220538Z UID:2860-1653035400-1653048000@www.lincolncountyhistory.org SUMMARY:Onsite Shredding at Chapman-Hall House DESCRIPTION: URL:https://www.lincolncountyhistory.org/event/onsite-shredding-at-chapman-hall-house/ LOCATION:ME END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220505T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220505T193000 DTSTAMP:20260604T081449 CREATED:20220325T162645Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220325T175106Z UID:2800-1651775400-1651779000@www.lincolncountyhistory.org SUMMARY:Dressing for Tea with Mrs. Chapman DESCRIPTION:Serving Tea in the Chapman-Hall House \nDressing for Tea with Mrs. Chapman brings to you a look at the changes in fashion styles for women and men from 1750 to the late 1820s.

Thus began a months-long project in local history to uncover the life of Quash\, and bring his memory to the fore once again in the communities in which he lived. \nBy searching for evidence in Quash’s surroundings\, including town records and social connections\, not only was James able to find direct evidence of Quash’s life\, but build a vibrant picture of a well-connected\, motivated\, and successful individual\, whose story adds weight to arguments that Black history is there to be found\, if only we know where to look. \n  \nJames Tanzer is originally from the North Shore of Boston\, and currently resides in Bath. He has worked in the museum field for almost 30 years\, and has spent the last twelve years as the Outreach Coordinator for the Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum at Bowdoin College. Since 2020 James has been researching free and enslaved Black residents of Topsham and Brunswick in the 18th- and early 19th centuries\, and is committed to uncovering the stories of these hidden Mainers. \nClick here to register online URL:https://www.lincolncountyhistory.org/event/where-theres-a-will-theres-a-way-uncovering-the-life-of-quash-a-black-man-in-eighteenth-century-lincoln-county/ LOCATION:Online END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220210T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220210T190000 DTSTAMP:20260604T081449 CREATED:20220203T135417Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220203T140250Z UID:2704-1644516000-1644519600@www.lincolncountyhistory.org SUMMARY:Black History of Maine with Bob Greene DESCRIPTION:  \nPre-registration required to receive Zoom Link:  \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/black-history-of-maine-with-bob-greene-tickets-256856654167 \nIt is frequently said that Maine is the whitest state in America. Yet Black people have a long history in the Pine Tree State. Slaves? Yes. But also builders\, farmers\, fishermen\, ship captains\, educators\, etc. It’s that hidden history of our state that Bob Greene will reveal. \n\n\nA native of Portland\, Bob Greene is the eighth generation of his family to be born in Cumberland County. His roots in Maine stretch back into the 1700s. After graduating from Portland High\, Bob went off to college and a career as a journalist\, covering among other things airplane crashes\, Mississippi River floods and the funeral of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He has met three presidents: Harry Truman\, Lyndon Baines Johnson and Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe. And\, as The Associated Press Tennis Writer\, Bob traveled the world covering the sport. After retiring he returned home to Maine where his genealogical research has led to his deep knowledge about Maine’s Black history. He currently teaches a Black History of Maine course at OLLI (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute} at the University of Southern Maine. Bob also is the 2021 recipient of the Maine Historical Society’s Neal Allen Award\, which is presented each year for exceptional contributions to Maine History.
