When the Kennebec Association of Universalists founded Westbrook Seminary in 1831, education in Maine, especially for girls, was far from universal. This exhibit, with images from the Abplanalp Library at the University of New England and MHS, tells the story of the Seminary and some of its students. View Online Exhibit

Book Event:
Fur, Fortune, and Empire: The Epic History of the Fur Trade in America 
Speaker: author and historian Eric Jay Dolin
Join us to celebrate the publication of Eric Jay Dolin's far-reaching new book. The best-selling author of Leviathan: The History of Whaling in America returns to MHS to share this sweeping narrative of one of America's most historically rich industries. Beginning in the early 1600s, Dolin traces the dramatic rise and fall of the American fur industry, from the first Dutch encounters with the Indians to the rise of the conservation movement in the late 19th century.
