About the event

A Walk Through History Part I: Overdose, Recovery, and the Past
A lecture by Michael Amico inspired by John H. Kennedy, a 19th-century shipbuilding financier who died of an overdose during the Civil War. The event, which includes a brief conversation after the talk, invites reflection on the historical context of overdose and the ways history can guide present-day healing.

This is second part of a two-part gathering to explore overdose, recovery, and remembrance through Waldoboro’s emotional history and a display of Images honoring lives lost to substance use, provided by Maine Sharing (A Maine-wide Facebook group dedicated to honoring loved ones lost to overdose).

Part II occurs the next evening, Saturday at 5:00 pm at Open House of History — a community cookout and live music, followed by a short walk for dessert and reflection, and concluding with a sharing circle, connecting past with present.

In partnership with Studio B, Maine Sharing, and International Overdose Awareness Day

All are welcome.
