Scandinavian History in Kennebunk (Virtual Gathering)

Norwegians and Swedes emigrated to the United States for centuries. At the end of the 19th century, Kennebunk welcomed large populations (comparatively) of peoples from Scandinavia as a result of the downtown Kennebunk mills seeking workers. Join us for an exploration of local Scandinavian history with Town Historian Kathy Ostrander Roberts, to learn more! This is a free, virtual lecture.

Donations made to the Brick Store Museum during the Candlelight Stroll: A Festival of Traditions programming (including this) will support the Brick Store Museum’s educational mission with a portion of proceeds donated to support other cultural organizations in southern Maine (see our full Festival of Traditions page for full details!).
