Discovering the Dennys: A River Through Time

The Merrill Library on the University of Maine at Machias Campus

will host a discussion on the making of the Dennys River Historical

Society's interactive story map

Discovering the Dennys: A River Through Time.

The project traces the history of the Dennys River through the

past 9,000 years. Members of the team that created

this interactive map and narrative will discuss

the research and mapping skills

that made this project possible.

Join us in Merrill Library on Friday, November 3, 2023 at 3 pm
