Lincoln County Historical Association announces registration for its annual day camp, Summer with the Past, Discovering 18th and 19th Century Art, Crafts and History, for children ages 7 through 11. Sessions will be held at the Chapman-Hall House in Damariscotta, June 26-June 30 and at the 1811 Old Jail and Museum in Wiscasset, Aug. 7-11.  

Campers will be introduced to the unique history of each site and will enjoy a variety of projects and games popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. The activities include art and textile projects and unique crafts. In support of summer reading, each child can choose an historical theme book to borrow for the week. The books have been selected for their historical themes, and/or their relevance to Maine.

Summer with the Past was designed by Louise T. Miller, LCHA education director. The program’s goal is to provide children with a greater understanding of the unique history of Lincoln County and the people whose skills were part of that history.
