Town History Series 2024

The Sagadahoc History and Genealogy Room announces the twentieth annual Town History Series!

The Town History Series is a long-standing Patten Free Library tradition that brings together Patten Free Library’s member communities to learn about and celebrate each town’s local history.  The town of Arrowsic, Bath Historical Society, Georgetown Historical Society, West Bath Historical Society, and Woolwich Historical Society each select a speaker to present on an aspect of their local history.  All programs take place at 10:30 a.m. and will be presented in person and live on Zoom.

Click on the individual listing below to learn more and register online. Recordings will become available below and on the Town History Series playlist the week after they are live.

This year’s Town History Series is dedicated to Peter Goodwin, longtime History Room manager and Town History Series creator.
