Harpswell 250th Committee

In August, the Harpswell 250th Committee, with members from the Harpswell Historical Society, the town of Harpswell and more than a dozen community organizations, will present several events commemorating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. All history is local, and celebrating the unique stories of Harpswell is the theme for these events.

As plans come together for Harpswell's celebration of America's 250th birthday, several events are approaching for those who like music, architecture, gardens, food and Harpswell stories.

This year marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Throughout the country, towns and historical organizations are planning exhibitions and events to honor the nation's past and look toward its future. Harpswell, too, will celebrate many facets of its long and interesting history as it joins the celebration from April through September.
