SUMMARY:Below Ground at the Chapman-Hall House: An Archaeological Interpretation
DESCRIPTION:Archaeologist Tim Dinsmore will discuss his findings during a study conducted on the grounds of Damariscotta’s Chapman-Hall House. \n  \nIn the fall of 2022\, Tim Dinsmore directed an archeological investigation into the earliest occupation of Damariscotta’s C \n \nhapman-Hall homestead and the integrity of artifacts currently on display within the circa 1754 house museum. He will present the results of the field work and subsequent artifact analysis at the Damariscotta Town Office\, located at 21 School Street at 7 p.m. on Friday\, Sept. 20. The public is invited to this free event. \n  \nDinsmore’s presentation\, “Below Ground at the Chapman-Hall House – An Archaeological Interpretation” will discuss the many objectives in conducting the project\, including the determination of the earliest occupation of the homestead\, and the integrity of its archaeological deposits. Another objective was to determine whether objects currently housed and on exhibit within the house museum actually reflect the types of material goods that the Chapman and Hall families once possessed. \nWhen the house was acquired by the Chapman-Hall House Preservation Society in 1960\, the house was unfurnished. Under the guidance of historic preservationist Abbott Lowell Cummings\, items representative of the time periods 1754\, 1790 and 1820 were \n acquired. Dinsmore’s archaeological survey subsequently uncovered numerous artifacts of actual objects that the Chapman\, Hall and Dodge families possessed. \nA professional historical archaeologist and proprietor of Midcoast Archaeology\, Dinsmore has 35 years of experience including management of educational outreach\, field schools\, cultural research\, and other research projects throughout Maine. Dinsmore attended both the University of Maine at Orono and the College of William & Mary\, Williamsburg\, Virginia. \nOpen to the public!

Fred\nGosbee’s family were lumbermen\, coming to Maine from the Maritime Provinces\nin 1922. For over thirty years\, Lane & Gosbee have been researching their own\nheritage through music by exploring the traditional music connections between the\nCeltic lands\, the Canadian Maritimes and Maine.

Having\nexplored various international archives\, museums and libraries\, they have distilled\nand repaired their findings and present them in an entertaining lecture with musical\nexamples sung unaccompanied in the traditional style. Exploring social history\nthrough music\, they will tell the stories not only of the songs\, but also the intrepid\ncollectors who preserved them and the singers who carried on the tradition.\nIn concert\, the duo presents these musical stories of romance\, ramblers and rogues\,\nwoven with history and humor. Castlebay’s wide knowledge and deep cultural\nroots\, their vocal and instrumental skills\, and their personable performance style\nhave been appreciated in museums\, libraries\, schools\, arts centers and festivals\ninternationally. Castlebay has released over two dozen recordings and their music\nhas been used for video soundtracks and theatrical productions.

SUMMARY:Samoset of Pemaquid: Online Lecture with author Jody Bachelder
DESCRIPTION:This talk is free and open to the public\, registration is required. Click here to register. \nSuggested donation to support LCHA programs: $5 \n\n \n \n\nOn March 16\, 1621\, Samoset cemented his place in history when he boldly walked into Plymouth Plantation and greeted the settlers in English. And that’s where most history books leave him. They never hint at the extraordinary events of his life that led him to that moment\, including his initial clash with the English and a possible kidnapping attempt\, inter-tribal warfare that engulfed the entire coast of Maine\, encounters with the forgotten Popham Colony in Phippsburg\, and an apocalyptic epidemic that nearly wiped out his people.  They never ask why a sagamore (or leader) from Maine would be there in the first place\, or consider how dangerous that walk into Plymouth truly was.\n \nWhy does any of this matter?  Because Samoset lived at an extraordinary time and place in history.  He and his people\, the Wawenock\, were at the epicenter of initial contact with English colonizers.  If we want to better understand this story\, looking at Samoset’s life is a good place to start.\n \nJody Bachelder started her career as a teacher and quickly made the switch to library work.  In 2013 she was extremely honored to be named the Walter J. Taranko Maine School Librarian of the Year.  When her husband got a job opportunity out of state\, she took a chance and started writing.  What she thought would be a picture book grew into a history book for adults.\n \nGrowing up on the Pemaquid Peninsula in Maine where Samoset and the Wawenock lived\, she knew little about the Indigenous people who called the area home for thousands of years. It was time to learn more.  She began her research with the question\, “What was Samoset doing in Plymouth?” The journey to find the answer was both enlightening and surprising.  Here First: Samoset and the Wawenock of Pemaquid\, Maine is her first book.  She still plans to write for children sometime in the future. \n\n \nThank you to Series Supporter J. Edward Knight Insurance for helping LCHA provide this free lecture!

SUMMARY:Getting to know Rachel Carson: best-selling author\, scientist\, conservationist\, advocate
DESCRIPTION:Biologist/author Rachel Carson standing seaside\, examining specimen in jar. (Photo by Alfred Eisenstaedt/The LIFE Picture Collection via Getty Images) \nRachel Carson was famously one of the essential sparks in the environmental movement and\, although lacking the usual scientific credentials\, a major force in national scientific debates. Yet she was a shy\, retiring and humble person. How did she come to have such an important influence? What roles did her writing and her ties to Lincoln County play? And what can we learn from her that would inform our current debates on climate and conservation? In an online lecture co-hosted by Lincoln County Historical Association and Old Bristol Historical Society\, Barbara Vickery will begin to answer these questions and introduce us to one of our region’s most well known and influential figures. \n  \nBarbara Vickery \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nAbout our speaker\, Barbara St. John Vickery\nAfter serving as rare plant botanist with the Maine Critical Areas Program. Barbara joined the staff of The Nature Conservancy Maine in 1983 as Director of Science and Stewardship and later served as Director of Conservation Programs until retirement in 2017. After her husband’s death she worked with a team to edit her husband Peter Vickery’s life work\, Birds of Maine\, published in 2020. She serves on the Maine Board of Environmental Protection and Forest Society of Maine board\, is an active member of the Citizen’s Climate Lobby Midcoast Maine chapter\, and is a member of six local organizations whose trails she uses regularly\, including the wonderful trails of LCHA’s Pownalborough Court House across the Kennebec from her home in Richmond. \n  \nPreregistration is required for this online program: click here to register \nThank you to Series Supporter J.

SUMMARY:Online Talk: Along Route One with author Susan Bregman
DESCRIPTION:Author\, writer\, and photographer Susan Mara Bregman presents the story of Route One from her new book\, Along Route One\, in an online talk for Lincoln County Historical Association on September 28th at 5:30 pm. \nAdvance registration required to attend this talk being held using Zoom. Registration is free and open to the public. Your donations help us continue to share the stories of our local history widely to people of all ages. \nCLICK TO REGISTER \nCLICK HERE to make a donation that will support ongoing high quality programming. \nRoute 1 in Maine\, New Hampshire\, and Massachusetts is an unapologetic combination of historic gravity\, exuberant entertainment\, unexpected juxtapositions\, and wonderfully kitschy roadside attractions. New England road trippers will encounter roller coasters and candlepin bowling\, lobster rolls and homemade pie\, colonial-era taverns and granite fortifications. An orange dinosaur overlooks the highway in Massachusetts\, a neon whale casts its glow in New Hampshire\, and a statue in Maine memorializes a celebrity harbor seal. Motor courts once welcomed weary travelers\, and drive-in theaters entertained vacationers on starlit summer nights. A geodesic dome is dedicated to the Maine wild blueberry\, and a quirky museum documents the history of the state’s sardine industry. A club in Massachusetts showcased jazz greats\, and a movie theater in Maine was named after a celebrated racehorse. Mile after mile\, Route 1 tells a story about history\, survival\, loss\, and change. \nBregman is also the author of Arcadia Publishing’s New England Neon and New England Candlepin Bowling. A native New Yorker\, she moved to Boston after graduating from college and never left. The remarkable photographs in this book came from historical societies\, museums\, libraries\, universities\, and private collections. \n  \nCLICK TO REGISTER
