Welcome to Touring Maine's History

Touring Maine’s History is a non-profit project intended to share and promote Maine’s history, the many historical societies and museums we have in Maine, preservation projects and all of the other history related projects going on from Kittery to Madawaska.

If you have some news to share, or an event you’d like to promote, or maybe even a story to tell, please drop me an email at dlsoucy@dlsoucypublisher.com, and let me know what you’d like to share. Also, if you’d like to be included in an upcoming video and audio program highlighting our historical societies I’d be glad to talk.

Some questions have been asked as to how much I charge to be listed. I charge nothing, provided your event is related to the preservation of Maine history and heritage somehow.

History matters, as they say on the TV, so join me in sharing the things that matter most.

Please click on the links to these story snippets to go to the periodical that is hosting the respective articles.

Enjoy, and thanks for visiting!
