The People of Ellsworth’s Past, Present and Future

with Cara Romano from Heart of Ellsworth and Nancy Smith from GrowSmart Maine

Saturday, May 6 at 3:00 PM

Estimated Duration: One hour

GrowSmart Maine and Heart of Ellsworth are collaborating to create the 2nd annual Janes Walk event downtown in Ellsworth. Walk the downtown district while learning about the people who shaped Ellsworth’s past and how they have influenced our collective identity as Ellsworthians. Using the Heart of Ellsworth’s Water Street Mural as a starting point and discussion tool, we will discuss the prominent people and events that have shaped our collective heritage and influenced the Ellsworth we know and love today. The walk will proceed to important historic landmarks in the downtown district, ending at Fogtown Brewing Company. There, we will connect with Ellsworth High School students and members of Ellsworth Pride, who make Ellsworth an open and welcoming community for all Ellsworth residents. Be sure to lace up your most comfortable walking shoes for this downtown walking adventure!
