In conjunction with our 1970s exhibit, we will host a discussion panel with audience participation. The moderated presentation will feature longtime residents who will answer questions about life on Peaks Island during the 1970s. A reception with light refreshments will follow.
This year, the Fifth Maine Museum’s Art on the Porch event will be an ART WALK around beautiful Peaks Island.
As your first stop on the ART WALK, visit the Fifth Maine Museum to pick up a map with all the artists’ locations. We will also have our own merchandise for sale. Books, T-shirts, hats, dish towels, aprons….something for everyone who loves Peaks Island and the Fifth Maine!!
Next, browse the beautiful, handmade items for sale by visiting local artists and craftspeople at their homes. The map shows all the artists who are participating, with street addresses so you can pull up directions on your phone.This is a great way to see all the nooks and crannies of Peaks Island while you discover local treasures!
The public is invited to attend a lecture by Dr. Ian Stevenson, Boston University history professor, in which he will discuss Civil War Regimental Cottages in Casco Bay, including both the Fifth Maine and Eighth Maine on Peaks Island. Light refreshments will follow.
