MUSEUM IN THE STREETS
On May 17, 2009, Museum In The Streets, a walking tour of historic Hallowell, was dedicated. The concept was created by Cushing, Me. resident Patrick Cardon, and is one of several such installations in the United States and Europe.
The original tour consisted of 19 venues highlighting significant people, places and things from Hallowell's past and featured an English/French text together with historic photographs.
The walking tour of Hallowell history tells a rich story of the founding of our city and nation. You can see detailed information on the Historic Hallowell website.
Take a stroll around Hallowell and you can find out why Eliza Clark Lowell, great grandaughter to Hallowell's original settler, Deacon Pease Clark, said, "Build it strong that it may last for years to come."
Powder house
In 2013 a 20th venue was added at the Powderhouse lot on High Street which includes two painting by Hallowell artist Chris Cart depicting members of the Hallowell Artillery Company and the Hallowell Light Infantry wearing their distinctive local uniforms.
Museum In The Streets was a joint venture between the Hallowell Board of Trade and Row House, Inc., and funded by local citizens and businesses. It was accepted as part of the Maine Memory Network, a program of the Maine Historical Society.
