University Professor and students take part in major local history project
A University of Maine at Presque Isle History professor and her students are participating in a $10,000 Maine Historical Society grant project meant to preserve the history of the City of Presque Isle while promoting local partnerships that explore and celebrate local history.
Dr. Kim Sebold and her history students are working with several community partners, including SAD 1, the Presque Isle Historical Society, and the Mark and Emily Turner Memorial Library, on a Maine Community Heritage Project. The Maine Historical Society awarded grants to 8 Maine communities including Presque Isle – 50 applied – for this first-of-its-kind project designed to foster the study of local Maine history and strong community partnerships.
