Join SAGE for a unique learning adventure across Aroostook County as we explore the history and heritage of the communities that define "The County." Traveling together to local historical societies, museums, and historical sites, participants will hear stories from local historians, see artifacts from earlier generations, and discover how each town contributed to the region's rich cultural history.  From early settlements and farming traditions to railroads, border history, and local legends, this journey brings Aroostook's past life - one town, one story, and one stop at a time.

Each trip will be a separate registration, fee and schedule. However, all the trips will begin and end at the Sargent Family Community Center and all registration and payments will be collected by them also.  Call 207-764-2545 for more information.  To Register, click the link for the trip you are interested in going to.

The mission of the Holocaust and Human Rights Center of Maine is to promote universal respect for human rights through outreach and education. Using the lessons of the Holocaust and other events, past and present, we encourage individuals and communities to reflect and act upon their moral responsibilities to confront prejudice, intolerance, and discrimination. Erica will take us through the Fundamentals of Nazis Antisemitism on May 7 and on May 14 she will talk about the Post Holocaust Antisemitism.  This discussion will shine a light on what went wrong, what is still going wrong and what we can do about it.  Instructor: Erica Nadelhaft, Education Coordinator, currently lives in Bangor and travels the state doing programs for the HHRC of Maine.
