SUMMARY:Hemp and American Maritime History
DESCRIPTION:October 14th\, 6pm on Zoom\nFree\, suggested admission $5\nReserve your tickets here. \nHemp has played a vital role in our history\, including maritime history. It was a part of daily life until the mid-20th century. This session will explore the history of Cannabis Sativa as an agricultural and industrial product\, as well as understanding the difference in the types of cannabis such as marijuana. \nPeter Friesen received his Bachelor of Arts Degree from New Mexico State University\, focusing on History with a minor in Anthropology. He went on to receive his master’s degree in public history in 2006. During his senior year at NMSU Peter decided to focus on a career in living history. He took an internship at Valley Forge National Historic Park\, where he interpreted in 3 rd person\, did black powder demonstrations\, helped the archaeologists dig\, and manned the visitor center desk. After graduating\, Peter decided to attend graduate school and focus on public history. While there he took part in a class called Time Traveling where he learned about first person interpretation. His degree plan included a research paper of journal length and quality and several hours interning at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival assisting the supply coordinator. His research paper titled Hemp\, History and Museums\, looked at how marijuana laws have affected public perception of hemp and how it is interpreted in living history museums. This led Peter to Colonial Williamsburg where he worked for two years finishing his research and completing a master’s degree. During this time\, he started to look for a living history museum that also incorporated agriculture\, which is how he came to be at HSMC. After his first year at HSMC\, he received the New Professional Travel Award for the National Council of Public History’s annual conference in Louisville\, KY where he presented his research on Hemp and Museums. Peter has continued his agricultural research to include tobacco\, apples\, livestock\, and other aspects of colonial farming life. Peter is also active in the larger museum profession. He has presented at several conferences and is currently on the board of directors for both the Association of Living History Farm and Agricultural museums and the Patuxent River Naval Air Museum. Peter also serves on the museum studies steering committee at St. Mary’s College of Maryland as well as teaching museum studies.

SUMMARY:Maine’s First Ship
DESCRIPTION:October 21st\, 6pm on Zoom\nFree\, suggested admission $5\nReserve your tickets here. \nThe VIRGINIA was the first ocean-going vessel built by the English in North America. In 1607 King James I granted a land-use charter to the Virginia Company to establish permanent settlements in the New World. The Company offered two investment opportunities – one based in London and the other in Plymouth. The London-based company founded a colony which they called Jamestown\, in land we now call Virginia. The Plymouth-based company attempted a settlement at the mouth of the Kennebec River in what has become known as the Popham Colony. The settlers were unprepared for the harshness of the Maine winter and\, after 14 months\, gave up their colonial effort. During that period\, however\, the colonists constructed a “30 tonne” vessel with which they intended to explore the coastline of the New World for profitable resources for their investors. They named their ship VIRGINIA OF SAGADAHOC and\, when the settlement was abandoned in the summer of 1608\, the colonists sailed her back to England.  \nFor the past ten years volunteers in Bath\, Maine\, have been working with Maine’s First Ship to re-construct the VIRGINIA. In this program\, Jim Parmentier will share more about this incredible project. You can follow their work at the MFS website www.mfship.org.

SUMMARY:Stories from the Spirits of Sea-Goers II

Quiet days\, adventure\, tragedy\, and heroism each take their turn. This sequel to 2020’s “Stories from the Spirits of Sea-Goers” features tales based on true experiences and recorded by Penobscot Marine Museum volunteers and staff. Some stories might be scary or inappropriate for young audiences.  \nThis program features recorded portrayals based on Penobscot Marine Museum’s in-person events “Ripped from the Headlines” and “Twilight Tours.” Get excited for this year’s program by watching last year’s “Stories from the Spirits of Sea-Goers.”
