Fifth Maine Regiment Museum Joins Portland History Docents Program

Portland History Docents on site visit at Tate House

Cultural tourism is here to stay in Maine. Few programs support it as well as the Portland History Docents program.

For years, the Fifth Maine has hosted the program's graduation ceremony at its historic Queen Anne building looking out over Whitehead Passage. The exciting news is that this year the Fifth Maine Regiment Museum has joined the contingent of organizations that offer this twelve-week program. Also, this inclusion of the Fifth Maine occurs on the eve of the 150th anniversary (the Sesquicentennial) of the Civil War!
