The PFA has been most supportive of the fifth Maine's efforts to presere
Peaks Island history and was instrumental in the development of the Pioneer
Room, an exhibit gallery dedicated to the early history of Peaks Island and
Portland Harbor. The next PFA reunion is scheduled for July 2006 at the Fifth Maine.
