HIRAM — “Lost Tribes of Western Maine,” a slide lecture by Peter Stowel, at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 14, at Great Ossipee Museum of Hiram Historical Society, 20 Historical Ridge (off Main Street, Route 117) in Hiram village.
Stowell will present the context for misunderstandings between settlers and Native Americans that often erupted into conflict. He plans a dynamic presentation of Native Americans in their western Maine homelands, with theatrical interpretation between the determined settler and the Native of strong words. “They stole our lands” sets the stage for a compelling performance.
The program is free and open to the public; light refreshments will be available. A business meeting at 1 p.m. will precede the program. For more information, 207-615-4390.
Stowell is a native of Bethel and is author of “Images of America: Dixfield” (Arcadia Publishing, 2013) and “Images of America: Old Town” (2017). He has researched widely on the topic and collected images from many sources, including from private collections.
