Happy 200th Anniversary, Kennebunk!

It’s Kennebunk’s official Bicentennial Day! A decision on June 24, 1820 split the towns of Wells and Kennebunk (though the towns actually separated July 31, 1820 – so we’ll celebrate then, too!).

Join the Museum for a virtual presentation via Youtube, including discussing the Distance Challenge Virtual Race Start (learn more here), and a special historic weathervane unveiling after its return from the conservator. Additionally, Town Historian Kathy Ostrander-Roberts will present a special Bicentennial history talk on what events led to Wells and Kennebunk splitting.

The lecture will be streaming on the Museum’s Youtube Channel and Facebook Live starting at 6:00pm. You do not need to register ahead of time, simply visit one of the services above and join us!
