SUMMARY:Members Forum: Six Stitches Through Time - The Discovery and Journey of the Prescott Samplers
DESCRIPTION:LCHA’s Members Forum series offers members-only Zoom lectures that provide space for deeper conversation and shared discovery beyond our public programs. These programs are designed especially for members\, creating opportunities to connect around shared interests and learn together in a more focused setting. Please note that new members are always welcome! LCHA membership begins at just $25 per year and includes free\, unlimited admission to LCHA’s three historic house museums\, along with access to members-only programs such as this forum. \n \nAric Wilmunder will share the story of the unexpected discovery of several early nineteenth-century needlework samplers at a California auction house and the research that has brought their story back to Lincoln County. Created by young girls who lived at the Pownalborough Court House and were connected to the Johnson\, Prescott and Canby families\, these objects illuminate childhood education\, family networks\, and daily life in early nineteenth-century Maine and Philadelphia\, and reveal ties to wider early American networks\, including the family of Betsy Ross. Through genealogy\, archival records\, and material culture\, the talk traces the samplers’ path from their creation in Maine to their rediscovery on the West Coast and their return to the community where they were made. \nRegister for Six Stitches Through Time here! \nBecome an LCHA Member here! \nAric Wilmunder is a genealogical researcher currently focused on the Prescott and Johnson families and their lives at the Pownalborough Court House in the 1830s. He rediscovered a collection of samplers made by family members and worked with the Lincoln County Historical Association to bring about their return. He previously worked in the computer and entertainment industries and is recognized as a historian of early computer game development. He is also a bluegrass fiddle player and experimental RC aircraft test pilot. He is currently writing a juvenile historical novel about the three Prescott sisters.

SUMMARY:What did she know\, and when did she know it?  Closer look at Miss Burrage’s  maps for Kenneth Roberts
DESCRIPTION:LCHA’s Members Forum series offers members-only Zoom lectures that provide space for deeper conversation and shared discovery beyond our public programs. These programs are designed especially for members\, creating opportunities to connect around shared interests and learn together in a more focused setting. Please note that new members are always welcome! LCHA membership begins at just $25 per year and includes free\, unlimited admission to LCHA’s three historic house museums\, along with access to members-only programs such as this forum. \nClick here to Register for What Did She Know And When Did She Know It? \nClick here to become an LCHA member! \nIn the first Members Forum of 2026\, longtime LCHA member Martha Frink explores the work of LCHA founder Mildred Burrage\, focusing on Burrage’s creation of illustrated maps for author Kenneth Roberts. Martha’s long-standing effort to better understand Burrage began with a question sparked by a mural in the Lee Street house where Mildred moved in 1946 and which later became home to Martha and her young family in 1989. \nMore than a decade of research deepened Martha’s respect for a woman who came to Wiscasset to paint while leaving behind postwar Kennebunkport\, and who is now best remembered for helping to establish the organizations that became LCHA and the Maine Art Gallery. Martha’s own roots echo this layered history. Her family includes a descendant who marched with Benedict Arnold to Quebec and another who fought in the battle now known as Bunker Hill. Her wide-ranging interests\, from phycology to art history\, have carried her from studies in the Caribbean back to the Maine coast\, where she now lives in Bremen in Lincoln County.

SUMMARY:Amos's Ear: Black Mainers\, the American Revolution\, and the Fight for Freedom
DESCRIPTION:A Free Online Lecture \nPresented in partnership with the Old Bristol Historical Society \nFree and open to the public – preregistration is required.  \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER \nAfrican Americans used the American Revolution as a means to pursue freedom and equality. This lecture explores the history of freedom-making in Revolutionary-era Maine\, with a particular focus on the community of Peterborough in Warren. \nFounded by Revolutionary War veteran Amos Peters and his formerly enslaved wife Sarah\, Peterborough became a beacon of freedom and hope for Black Mainers and their families throughout the Midcoast. This talk examines the complex and often contradictory realities of freedom and unfreedom experienced by Black Mainers in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. \nDr. Kate McMahon is the Executive Director of the Castine Historical Society. She serves on the Operational Committee of SlaveVoyages.org and is a co-founder and board member of Atlantic Black Box. Dr. McMahon earned her B.A. in Art History and M.A. in American and New England Studies from the University of Southern Maine and completed her Ph.D. in History at Howard University in 2017. \nHer dissertation\, The Transnational Dimensions of Africans and African Americans in Northern New England\, 1776–1865\, examined Black life and mobility across borders. Her current research focuses on New England’s connections to and complicity in the illegal slave trade and colonialism from 1809 to 1900. Dr. McMahon is dedicated to interpreting the lasting legacies of slavery and the slave trade for broad public audiences through scholarship and public engagement. \nThank you to J.

SUMMARY:Laboring Lives and Hidden Stories in Colonial New England
DESCRIPTION:Thanks to sponsor J. Edward Knight Insurance\, this online lecture is free and open to the public\, pre-registration is required to receive the link to participate! \nClick here to register \nColonial New England has long been associated with free labor. But\, in reality\, most colonial New England households were mixed-labor settings. They relied on a diverse group of unfree people\, including Indigenous\, African\, and European women and men\, who served as indentured\, enslaved\, and hired laborers. In this presentation\, Dr. Carbonell will survey the landscape of labor in seventeenth- and eighteenth- century New England\, exploring how and under what terms this diverse group of laborers joined colonial households. In her talk\, Dr. Carbonell will also reflect on the process of researching laboring people in colonial records that often obscure their histories.  \nCaylin Carbonell is an Assistant Professor of History at Bowdoin College\, where she teaches courses on colonial North America. She earned her Ph.D. in History from William & Mary in 2020 and her B.A. from Bates College in 2012. Dr. Carbonell is currently working on a book manuscript which peers in on New England’s colonial households and their daily goings-on at a granular level to examine the intimate contestations and collaborations between household members. Her writing has previously appeared in Early American Studies\, Commonplace: The Journal of Early American Life and the Junto: A Group Blog on Early American History.

SUMMARY:The Dirigo Men of Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery: Stories of Maine's WWII Service Members
DESCRIPTION:LCHA is proud to launch our 2026 Winter Lecture Series on January 22 with author Aimee Fogg\, who will share stories of Maine’s WWII Service Members as she discusses The Dirigo Men of Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery. Thanks to sponsor J. Edward Knight Insurance\, this online lecture is free and open to the public\, pre-registration is required to receive the link to participate!\n \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER\n \nLocated in Homburg\, Belgium\, Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery is the final resting place for 7\,992 WWII service members\, and where the names of 450 Missing in Action service members are commemorated. Fifty-four of these men called Maine home. From the state’s rocky coast along the Atlantic Ocean to its highest peak of Mount Katahdin and from towns in between\, these men answered their country’s call. They left everything familiar to fight in a faraway land. They hugged their parents\, siblings\, spouses\, and children goodbye. They missed their families. They dreamt of reunions. They wept. They suffered. They mourned. They sacrificed. They freed a continent. They liberated generations. Silenced by the passage of 80 years\, their voices speak once again in The Dirigo Men of Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery: Stories of Maine’s WWII Service Members.\n \nAimee Gagnon Fogg is the great-niece of PFC Paul M. Lavoie of Nashua\, NH\, who is interred in Plot C Row 1 Grave 9 at Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery in Homburg\, Belgium. She is the founder of They Speak: Voices of Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery\, which is dedicated to collecting the personal stories and photos of the nearly 8\,400 men of HCAC. She is the author of several publications and is also the recipient of the Daughters of the American Revolution Women in American History award. The Dirigo Men of Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery: Stories of Maine’s WWII Service Members is her third published title about HCAC. Aimee resides in New Hampshire with her husband\, their three children\, and their many pets.\n

SUMMARY:Archaeologist Tim Dinsmore at the Chapman-Hall House
DESCRIPTION:Tim Dinsmore to discuss results of archaeological survey at Chapman-Hall House \nHistorical archaeologist Tim Dinsmore\, who headed the 2022 archaeological survey of the grounds of the 1754 Chapman-Hall House in Damariscotta\, will be on hand to discuss the objectives and results of his work on Saturday\, May 31 from 12:30-4 p.m. One of the oldest standing houses in Damariscotta\, this house museum\, maintained by Lincoln County Historical Association\, is located at 270 Main Street. \nArtifacts recovered during the survey help to shed light into the material worlds of the Chapman\, Halls\, and other families that once occupied the homestead. These objects—found mostly in a highly fragmented state—provide tangible information about the everyday lives of these two families.  \nOn display will be a variety of ceramics and glassware\, architecturally-related materials such as window glass\, nails\, and brick\, personal items including clay tobacco pipes and buttons\, and faunal material represented by animal\, bird\, and fish bones and shellfish. Augmenting the exhibit will be several 3-dimensional antiques and/or high-quality reproductions that allow visitors to see how the fragments might have looked in their original state.  \nA site report that summarizes the results of Dinsmore’s archaeological work as well as photographs of the 2022 dig are included in this special exhibit.  Tim Dinsmore\, a professional historical archaeologist\, is the sole proprietor of Midcoast Archaeology.
