2024 Old House Forum & Annual Meeting

Held on THURSDAY, MAY 23 via zoom

We are pleased to present the 2024 Old House Forum & Annual Meeting program which will discuss new ways that our colleagues are celebrating, exploring, and interrogating the Maine’s history.

 

The Maine House II
Maura McEvoy, Basha Burwell, and Kathleen Hackett

Over multiple printings and across the world, The Maine House sounded a rallying cry “to preserve a living history belonging to individual, family, and state; a visual call to recognize these homey structures and others like them as ‘extraordinary gifts.’” The Maine House II moves beyond the authors’ cri de Coeur, highlighting the beauty and importance of preservation, restoration, thoughtful renovation, and low-impact living in the place they love the most.

Dead Writers Podcast
Tess Chakkalakal

Dead Writers brings classic American authors back to life for a contemporary audience through a podcast series that takes listeners on a tour of literary homes, transporting them inside the houses in which the authors lived and wrote. The first season is dedicated to Maine’s literary landscape and will highlight such authors as Harriet Beecher Stowe, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Nathaniel Hawthorne.

WHERE2024
Meadow Dibble

Atlantic Black Box empowers communities throughout the Northeast to research and reckon with our region’s complicity in colonization and slavery. Over the next seven months, ABB and its partner organizations will invite the public to take part in the Walk for Historical and Ecological Recovery (WHERE2024), a broad-based initiative aimed at surfacing suppressed stories of genocide and survival, enslavement and resistance, and displacement and representation in seven sites across the state.

THANK YOU TO OUR 2024 SPONSORS!
