Liberty Hall, Machiasport, Maine
Open House July 26th: 1pm - 4pm

Join us for the 2025 Open House at historic Liberty Hall in Machiasport. Built in 1873, Liberty Hall overlooks the site of the first naval victory of the American Revolution. It is a site of unparalleled historical importance, and the building is an outstanding example of Maine civic architecture, visibly symbolizing the rich historical and cultural legacy of Downeast Maine.

Saved from dereliction by a successful public-private partnership, the Friends of Liberty Hall in collaboration with the Town of Machiasport are seeking funds to complete the building’s restoration and return it to community use. Join us in this endeavor!

Liberty Hall will be open Saturday July 26th, 1 to 4 pm hosting a pop-up exhibition, Meeting Halls: Inspiring Maine’s Collective Futures by visual artists Michelle Hauser and Sally Eckhoff.

A selection of Hauser’s recent photographic portraits of Maine’s historic meeting halls will be on display. There will be a screening of Eckhoff’s hand drawn film The Innocent Bystander that animates Dan Hicks’ song of the same title. Guest speaker, Rose Marasco, will present her 1992 photographic project, Ritual and Community: The Maine Grange.

The program will conclude with the unwrapping of the recently rediscovered backdrops for some of Liberty Hall’s historic theater performances, and all will be accompanied by the musicmaking of famed Downeast musical star, Gene Nichols.

1 pm. Doors Open

2 – 3 pm Program

• Screening of The Innocent Bystander, Sally Eckhoff (5 mins)
• Speaker Rose Marasco: Strengthening Community through the Arts
• Maine Civic Halls Initiative: The revitalization of community through the restoration and re-purposing of Maine’s civic buildings

3 pm. Unwrapping of 3 Liberty Hall theatrical backdrops

3 – 4 pm. Music by Gene Nichols

This open house event is supported by The Kindling Fund, a grant program administered by SPACE as part of the Andy Warhol Foundation For The Visual Arts Regional Regranting Program.

Could you please post my kitty as missing. His name is Frank. He’s a male. Missing from boatyard lane. Last seen around 9pm last night on rose lane. Please add, do not chase as he’s an indoor kitty and is very scared right now. Can also add my contact info. (207)447-7451 if anyone spots him they can call me. If he happens to come up to someone and they can hold onto him that would be very helpful.

To spend time at this place with eyes closed, asking questions, sharing feelings or simply sitting quiet, alone and detached from it all listening to the stones sing a song that changes with every wave is special. Every second of time has been captured here and reveals itself through the interaction...
