2024 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. KHS programs in January, February and March are presented online through Facebook Live and the remaining programs are all in-person events. 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.
