FREE Walking Tour (Jane's Walk 2024)This year, PHC volunteer and local history enthusiast Jym St. Pierre will lead a Jane’s walk beginning at our headquarters at 159 Park Row at 1pm. Anyone can join!
The topic of this year’s tour is: The Brunswick Mall at 200
In June, 1823, three local men conveyed by deed real estate that included the Mall area stretching from Pleasant Street to First Parish Church. The town paid them five cents. The deed specified that the land was to be used only “as a public walk or Mall” forever. So far, that promise has been honored, but in many different ways over the past two centuries. As you walk around the Mall, Jym will talk about, and share images of, the many changes the parcel has gone through over time. Jane’s Walk is a global festival of free, volunteer-led walking conversations inspired by community activist Jane Jacobs. Jane’s Walks combine the simple act of exploring a place with personal observations, local history, and civic engagement. The annual Jane’s Walk festival takes place the first weekend in May, in more than 200 cities and towns around the globe. In 2024, it will be held in Maine on Saturday, May 4, 2024.

Vertical Victory ProjectThe Vertical Victory Project will entertain you with wonderful music and tell you how during World War II, the famed aircraft’s usual payload with several thousand pounds of bombs changed. Under special circumstances the B-17 doubled as a cargo plane for “G.I. pianos.” Also known as “Victory Verticals,” the instruments were parachuted to awaiting troops in what the advertisement terms “far places of the world — England, Australia, New Guinea, and elsewhere.” Intended to lift troop morale, the 40-inch-tall Victory Verticals were identified by their military colors (olive drab, blue and gray), absence of front legs (deemed too delicate for the battlefield), and durable shipping crates. About 2,500 of the verticals were transported to every theater of war, including Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, and the South Pacific. They were played by a dance band in the Philippines, a special service unit in Alaska, and by performers from Bob Hope to violinist Isaac Stern as they toured on behalf of the United Service Organizations (USO).
The Brunswick Rotary Club is hosting a program on May 4 & 5 called “The Vertical Victory Project” and it will be presented by Dr. Garik Pederson, concert pianist, who has done extensive research on the program. He’s presented this beautiful program across the country and will be featured in an upcoming PBS special. The concert will be held at the Unitarian Universalist Church, Pleasant St on Saturday, May 4 at 7:30pm and Sunday, May 5 at 2pm. Attached is the flyer we’ve developed. At the bottom right is the QR code that folks can use to purchase tickets. Please note that General Admission tickets are $40 and Veteran tickets are $30.

Some pianos were air-dropped to the front line troops and some pianos were actually installed while submarines were being built.
