Many, if not most, of you are aware of the story of Malaga Island, and the injustice surrounding the people who lived, and were forcibly removed from, there.

But did you know that the exposure of that injustice in many ways started at Pejepscot History Center two decades ago? That’s when Kate McBrien served as curator at PHC (and also interim director for a time) and began delving into the story of Malaga. She expanded considerably on her research while at the Maine State Museum where she curated a ground-breaking exhibit.

Mark your calendars for what promises to be a powerful presentation and kick-off to our 2024 annual theme of Crime and Punishment. The evening begins with a short annual business meeting (for members only) to elect new trustees and officers. We’ll then move into a reception at 6PM, followed by the program, both of which are open to all.

Tickets: $12 PHC Members / $20 General Public. Register online HERE.

Kate McBrien serves as the Maine State Archivist, overseeing the archival preservation and management of state records at the Maine State Archives in Augusta. Before this role, Kate worked at the Maine Historical Society and Maine State Museum in their curatorial and public engagement departments. At the State Museum, she researched and curated the award-winning exhibit “Malaga Island, Fragmented Lives” about the Malaga Island community.

Transform your selfcare at our Breast Health workshop. Spend the evening exploring natural breast health, Bowenwork, and enjoy some time in the Energy Enhancement System.

For years, there has been a passionate partnership between the Cathance River Education Alliance, Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust, and local schools. The collaboration with Mt. Ararat High School biology teachers Glenn Evans and Rebecca Norklun is no different! Each year, we’ve worked with them to pair students with mentors from the community to investigate the local Cathance River ecosystem. Join us as these incredible students present their research results from the 2023 fall field research season!

Each Thursday morning in September and October, students and mentors gathered at the CREA Ecology Center, located at the Cathance River Nature Preserve, before heading out to collect data on everything ranging from water quality to plant diversity on the heath.

Armed with game cameras, GPS units, snowshoes, coolers, flagging tape, guide books and a host of other equipment, they set out to wrestle with the real world challenges associated with data collection… while experiencing the appeal of work that has real world value. Join us to discover what they learned about our beloved preserve this year. You’ll be impressed by the results… and the poise of these remarkable students!

No registration required, just show up at the Topsham Public Library at 6:00pm!

Many thanks to our 2023 mentors:

• Fred Cichocki – Survey of the ecological diversity of the Heath
• David Reed – Fishless pond survey
• Shane Duigan & Kevin Doran – Forestry plot study
• Glenn Evans – Tributary study
• Adam Gravel, Katie Trebilcock & Stantec – Mammal study
• Nancy Sferra – Invasive plants
• Rebecca Norklun – Fish survey of the Cathance River
• John Berry & Susan Fenn – Migrating bird study

Against all odds and polar advice, a Muslim chaplain, a French biologist, a Qatari princess and eight other women from the Arab World and the West attempt to ski across the melting Arctic sea ice to climate change ground zero – the North Pole. In EXPOSURE, director Holly Morris and her crew capture this story as the team navigates everything from frostbite and polar bear threat, to sexism and self-doubt in an intimate story of resilience, survival and global citizenry. The 2018 expedition featured in the film remains the last-ever to reach the North Pole.
