FIRE The Night Portland Burned

Cities are always evolving, and one catalyst for change is natural disasters such as Portland’s July 4th, 1866 fire. They leave a lasting impression on the landscape, culture, and memory. Join Greater Portland Landmarks and Herb Adams for an illustrated remembrance with slides, maps, new information and a reflection on what it took for such people and spirit to restore Longfellow’s “City that is seated by the Sea.”
