(Correction to the brochure) The Symposium will be held on the fourth Friday of every month. We are now meeting at the Mark and Emily Turner Memorial Library in Presque Isle so we will be meeting every fourth Friday until June.  

Unlock the secrets of your family’s past in our immersive “Tracing Roots” symposium.  Join fellow enthusiasts once a month, each spanning about three hours on a “drop-in or stay for the entire class” basis. Our expert Ancestry.Com users will guide you through archival records, DNA analysis, and historical context using the latest version of Ancestry.com provided by the university library.  Individually, dive deep into your family tree, unearthing stories, connections, and hidden branches.  Whether you are a beginner or seasoned researcher, this symposium promises to enrich your understanding of heritage and identity. 

Instsructors: Dennis Prue and Spike Savage

The space race didn’t start in the 1950’s, it started in the 1300s. Come join us as we look at the race for space. This class will be broken up into 4 parts: 1) 1962 and before – the development of flight and the early era of manned flight; 2) 1962 to 1973 – The race to the moon and a hand shape in space: 3) After 1973 – Space stations and the future of space flight: and 4) Scientific discovery, probes to other worlds

Meet at the Estey House, 16 Third Street, Presque Isle, Maine

 This house sits within the original land grant which established our community, originally known as Fairbanks Mills. It is believed to have been built around 1875 and is a good example of an upper middle class Victorian home. The only two major changes to the house since its construction is that the barn no longer exists and the Estey’s added a skylight in the upstairs bathroom.

The $10 fee will be split between SAGE and the Presque Isle Historical Society.
