Join Maine Historical Society for a guided tour of historic Portland highlighting the lives, work, and history of women. Learn about the historic impact women have had on shaping Maine's largest city from the stories of familiar names like Anne Longfellow Pierce, to the lesser-known tales like the workers of Curtis and Sons Chewing Gum factory and the Portland munitions factories during WWI . Famous city residents, industries, architecture, historic landmarks, and social history are among the topics covered.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
