Upcoming Events
Wednesday, April 9 at 3:00- Monthly Poetry Circle with Poet Janet Gold – The Wednesday Poetry Circle. Everyone who enjoys poetry is invited to the Lincolnville Library for what we anticipate will become a regular gathering on the third Wednesday of each month to share poems, both original compositions as well as favorite poems by other poets. Time permitting, meetings may also occasionally highlight particular poetic forms or themes, followed by a fun exercise to experiment with that form or theme in our own words, so bring along a notebook and a pen.

Visitors may stop by any time during the summer months to view the historical exhibits in the two outdoor sheds of this museum.
