Virtual Baked Bean Supper, 2022

Raised on Mount Desert Island, Porter Fox, author of “The Last Winter,” looked forward to winter and the myriad of snow and ice-related outdoor sports that came with it. This love of winter has taken him around the globe, exploring and playing among snow encrusted peaks, frozen landscapes, and glacial valleys. During his travels, Fox began to notice that winter was changing.

In the northern regions Fox explores in his book, the changes are most drastic, with winter decreasing by a month.

The Historical Society’s Executive Director, Raney Bench, moderated a conversation using questions from the public to better understand climate change trends taking place in the Northern Hemisphere.
