Thanks to a Maine Humanities Capacity Building Grant and funding from the Seth Sprague Education Foundation, Matt has been able to work with consultant James Francis to expand our exhibit on the Wabanaki. We invite you to put some history in your holiday weekend with a visit to 27 Commercial Street in Bath, Maine.

Today was Community Service Day for the Morse High School freshman class and MFS was pleased to welcome Ben, Eden, Konnor, and Stellan who got started on our seasonal cleaning & tidying of the Bath Freight Shed, and also worked alongside several regular volunteers as part of a planned work day on the #1607pinnacevirginia. MHS history teacher Mr. Dever brought us a great group of kids who represented the Class of 2030 well. Thank you to MHS for organizing this day and sharing the energy & enthusiasm of their students with the broader community and for these four in particular for putting in the time & effort here with us. #communityserviceday #community #historyingenuitycommunity #classof2030 #morsehighschoolbathmaine Morse High School
Buy those guys ice cream!
We started the day with the Maine Academy of Natural Sciences and then welcomed St. John's School about mid-day, the first of several days this month devoted to visiting school groups.

Awesome
Fred was onsite yesterday; said he was working on getting his form back as he starts transforming this cedar log into a new topmast. Chips were flying faster than this photographer could catch on film, so we're thinking he'll be good. 😉

Sorry for barking up the wrong tree here, folks, this is SPRUCE, not Cedar. Knot sure how I got that wrong. 🪵
This is an official request for more Monday rainbows (we needed this!).
