Digital History: Stories from Maine Memory Network
Way Back Ball, Northeast Harbor, ca. 1945
Mainers love a party. Whether celebrating a milestone, raising funds for an important cause, impressing clients, or saying thanks, people have found creative ways to get together to celebrate in just about every possible place, and in every corner of the state. This week, MHS holds its annual gala which is part Mad Hatter affair, including hat parade; part Kentucky Derby party; and part festive fundraiser with dancing and a great auction. Click here to peruse party pictures shared by Maine Memory's many contributors.
