The CIHS is hard at work on the upcoming exhibit: Growing Up on Chebeague. This is Chebeague’s con- tribution to Maine’s Bicentennial Cele- bration.We are having so much fun!

Although we can’t be sure right now when we will open because of the virus, we will be ready when that time comes! The photos and artifacts that have been shared tell the story of a community that has valued its children and has instilled a sense of place over the

generations from the CivilWar to today.The sea, shore, woods, and fields of Chebeague are the backdrops for seasonal activities that showcase creative play! www.chebeaguehistory.com

The evening’s lecture will be given by Michael Porter on the history of American mapmaking, using historical maps of Chebeague as examples!

Spring into the spring market! Contact us for a confidential conversation about selling or buying, on the mainland or here on the island.
