The long-anticipated Bicentennial of Maine Statehood. This will be a special year at MHS and beyond. You have heard me say that the Bicentennial isn't simply an opportunity to "celebrate" I200 years of Statehood; it is an opportunity to explore how 13,000 years of history shapes Maine. Holding Up the Sky laid the groundwork—it helped fundamentally reframe how many are thinking about the Bicentennial. Holding Up the Sky made people more aware of the experience of Wabanaki people, of their stewardship, contributions, and enduring presence, and to understand why the Bicentennial is not something to simply celebrate. This year, we will turn to Statehood itself. We have wonderful offerings: ❚ A new Bicentennial Education Initiative on Maine Memory Network features lesson plans, extensive content, and a platform developed with the Maine Bicentennial Commission for teachers to share and download lessons created by their peers; ❚ The exhibit State of Mind: Becoming Maine will explore Maine's separation from Massachusetts, the Missouri Compromise, and how communities perceived and experienced the Statehood debate; ❚ Public programs and Scholarly forums will discuss Statehood, the Imperial Crisis, and land use; Map of Maine for the United States Gazetteer by Joseph Scott, 1795.

Shakespeare talked of seven ages of man. More recently Erik Erikson has thought of five separate stages in human life. All of these begin to break down, however, when we think of the end of eras. Partially because of the chronological pressure, such times come at the end of centuries. When one adds to the end of a century the concept of an end of a millennium, the sense of change, of difference, of end time can be very powerful, if not overwhelming. The termination of the nineteenth and the eighteenth centuries were much discussed as to the future.

Her love of history, strong writing skills and, by nature, being a champion for details and accuracy were much appreciated. We also would like to give a “tip of the hat” to some of the nonprofits that are integral to the preservation of the Munjoy Hill neighborhood: Maine Historical Society, Greater Portland Landmarks, St. Lawrence Arts and Friends of Eastern Promenade.

A new town was organized in 1718 named “Falmouth,” consisting of the peninsula of Falmouth Neck and considerable neighboring property. In 1775, British warships destroyed nearly three-quarters of the town. Falmouth Neck separated from Falmouth and was renamed “Portland” in 1786. 2 1845 Source: Collections of Maine Historical Society By 1807, Portland was Maine’s most important shipping and trading port and the sixth largest commercial port in the nation.

  • POLICY of MAINE, 1620-1820 by MARGARET FOWLES WILDE a THESIS Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree
    HISTORY OF THE PUBLIC LAND POLICY OF MAINE, 1620-1820 By MARGARET FOWLES WILDE % A., University of Maine, 1932 A THESIS Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (in History and Government) Division of Graduate Study University of Maine Orono May, 1940 ABSTRACT HISTORY OF THE PUBLIC LAND POLICY OF MAINE, 1620-1820 There have been many accounts of individual settlements in Maine and a few histories of the State, but no one has ever attempted a history of its land policy or analyzed the effect that such a policy or lack of policy might have had on the development of the State of Maine. Maine was one of the earliest sections of the Atlantic Coast 'to be explored but one of the slowest in development. The latter may have been due to a number of factors but undoubtedly the lack of a definite, well developed land policy had much to do with the slow progress of settlement and development of this area. The years 1602 to 1620 marked the beginnings of explorations along the Maine Coast principally by the English and French. In 1603, Henry IV of France granted all the American territory between the fortieth and forty-six degrees north latitude to Pierre de Gast Sieure de Monts. This territory was called Acadia. Soon after, in 1606 King James I of England granted all the lands between the thirty-fourth and forty-fifth degrees north latitude to an association of noblemen of London and Plymouth. Later, King James I of England granted all the lands from the fortieth to the forty-eighth degrees of north latitude to a company called ’’Council established at Plymouth in the County of Devon; for planting, ruling, and governing New England in America.” This company functioned from 1620-1635.

Now his 200th Celebrating birthday is upon us, and Maine Historical, many Maine arts organizations, the Longfellow National Historic Site and friends in Cambridge, and fans across the Creativity country are about to launch a yearlong celebration of the boy from Maine who became America’s most beloved poet. At MHS, the celebration will kick off on February 16th with the opening of a new exhibit — Drawing Together: The Arts of the Longfellows. Using never-before-seen works from many collections, the exhibit will reveal not only the family’s passionate interest in painting and drawing but the way creativity and imagination bound the generations together. [Read more on pg. 3] MHS will host its Annual Longfellow Birthday Party on Saturday, February 24, and then present a series of Spring lectures and programs designed to complement the exhibit and celebrate Henry’s life and career. MHS will also issue an open invitation to poets, writers, public figures, students, and the general public to create their own works in response to Longfellow. Many of these will be posted on our Longfellow website (www.hwlongfellow.org ) and some will be featured in a grand celebration/poetry festival/forum at MHS in October, which will culminate the year’s events.
