Memorial Day and Reenactors at Pownalborough Court House

LCHA’s annual commemoration of Memorial Day. After being called to order at 11a.m, the gathered will proceed up the woods road to the Court House cemetery. Veteran soldiers of three wars will be remembered through spoken words and the placing of bouquets upon the graves.

Reenactors from the Colonial Maine Living History Association will be on-site with their encampment open to the public.

Everyone is invited to stay on after the conclusion of the Memorial Day ceremonies and enjoy the grounds of the Pownalborough Court House. Take a walk on the nature trail following along the high bank of the Kennebec River through a beautiful old stand of white pine. Explore the well-marked trail system across Route 128. Bring a picnic lunch. Perhaps catch a glimpse of one of the historic site’s resident bald eagles.
