Maine Heritage Days
2004
The Maine Heritage Days
celebration will not be held at Colonial Pemaquid in 2004. Instead
reenactors will gather at Pownalborough Courthouse September
11-12 for Lincoln County's 250th anniversary commemoration, sponsored
by the Lincoln County Historical Association.
Below are highlights
from the 2003 Heritage Days observance of events that would have
taken place at the site during the 1740's, when Colonial Pemaquid
played a role in the French and Indian Wars.
