Jane’s Walk – Echoes in the Landscape: Uncovering Sites in Castine’s African & African American History
May 3 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
How do we honor what we cannot see? How can the experience of history-in-place change our perspectives on the past?
Join Georgia Zildjian, Manager of Museum Learning at the Wilson Museum, and Lisa Simpson-Lutts, former director of the Castine Historical Society, for Castine History Partner’s fourth Jane’s Walk. This walk-and-talk style exploration will immerse participants in the stories of Castine’s historic African and African American communities.
Attendees will wend their way through invisible homesites, unmarked graves, and docks long lost to the sea as they consider together the social and cultural implications of “invisible” history in Castine’s landscape and beyond. Facilitated conversation, newly recovered history, and guided imagination will all play a role in this communal exploration.
Participants should plan for a lengthy walk and varied, sometimes uneven terrain. We suggest comfortable clothing layers, good walking shoes, and a personal water bottle for this experience.
