Fighting for Freedom, Fighting for Survival

Did you know men from Knox and St. George counties fought in the American Revolution and the War of 1812? Join us later this month to hear their stories!

At this special event, the Lady Knox Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution will present their newly published non-fiction book, "Fighting for Freedom, Fighting for Survival."

The book tells the history of Midcoast Maine through the lives of real people interred in Tolman Cemetery in Rockland, Maine. These men come to life through details of their families, their daily lives, and the communities in which they lived.

You'll learn how families settled the local area while taming the wilderness and fighting in two wars of independence.

Light refreshments will be served. This event is free.
