		2021 KHS EVENTS SCHEDULE One of the main ways the Kennebec Historical Society achieves its goal of dissemination of knowledge of Kennebec County history is through public programs and lectures. KHS provides these programs through the dues and donations of members. They are open to the public. A small voluntary donation from non-members is appreciated. The programs generally occur on the third Wednesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. Locations vary. While most take place in Augusta, KHS also schedules speakers in other Kennebec County communities. UPCOMING EVENTS Due to the progress of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the US and Maine, the Kennebec Historical Society (KHS) is postponing its monthly IN PERSON presentations until further notice. 2021 ONLINE Programs: January Online Program: Find a Way or Make One: New Perspectives on Peary’s North Pole Quest, Date: 20 January 2021, Presented by: Susan Kaplan, Time: 6:30pm.
