These two talks provide historical background for The Game Loft’s two-day Community Learning Event, Issues On Trial: The Court Martial Of General Peleg Wadsworth about the ill-fated Penobscot Expedition of 1779. Events over two days include dinner, dancing, a street fair, discussion groups, and role-play in Belfast and Searsport.

Author and personal historian Meghan Vigeant shares stories and plays audio recordings about Maine’s hardscrabble rural life gathered from the elders, larger-than-life characters, and tricksters she has worked with over the years. Stories range from building a cabin in the back woods for only $97 to how to mend a broken leg on a remote island. Touching, funny, and well told – this presentation is sure to entertain as well as inform anyone who wants to save someone's story.

Please join PMM photo archivist Matt Wheeler for an informal illustrated talk about Belfast's own real photo postcard company, which opened its doors in 1909 and specialized in familiar views of small town and rural life throughout New England. The presentation will include many historic images of Freedom and surrounding towns; the audience is encouraged to share their knowledge and stories of the village in decades past.
