While spending the summer in Southwest Harbor, Historical Archaeologist Jessie Burchett volunteered with the Southwest Harbor Historical Society. While processing some archival papers she came across the records of two local families involved in the coasting trade. Using these records, she pieced together a picture of their lives, which she will share during this program.
Chebacco Chats, our weekly web series, features authors, historians, and others who study and celebrate history, the great place that is Mount Desert Island, and the way the island impacts the wider world.
The Chats are live on Zoom, and recordings are made available the week after they air.
