History lives in Aroostook County
PRESQUE ISLE — The 14th Historical Pavilion and Living History Demonstration will take place in The Forum Tuesday, Aug. 2 through Thursday, Aug. 4 from 4-8 p.m. daily. Admission to the Historical Pavilion is free with paid admission to the Northern Maine Fair. Where else can you get so much for so little?
Take a fun and educational walk through Aroostook County’s past. Visit with area historical societies, museums, living history demonstrators, and long-time civic groups and businesses as each share their particular histories. Not only is this fun and entertaining, but these types of exhibits have been shown to increase community awareness, as well as civic identity and pride.
Many of the previous years’ exhibitors will be back and there will be several new exhibitors, as well. There will be something for everyone. Learn more about your community and your family roots. Visit the Aroostook County Genealogical Society to see how easy it is to find information about your ancestors. Try some of the “old timey” crafts. Show your children and grandchildren what it was like in the “good old days.” Visit the veterans’ booth and share a story of a veteran you know. See exhibitors in authentic antique period clothing, antique machinery and vehicles, and much more.
Don’t miss the opportunity to relive our area’s rich heritage. For more information, call 762-1151 or e-mail pihistoricalsociety@hotmail.com.
