Year 2026 Meeting/Event Schedule:
Tuesday, April 21, 2026 The meeting will start at 6:30 P. M. at the HHS home on 479 Camden Road, in Hope.
After the business meeting at 7:00 P. M., Charles Smith will speak on obscure facts about the Civil War
and his studies on soldiers from Hope. Mr. Smith, after spending 30 years in Alaska, returned to Maine
and became very interested in genealogy and in particular the history of Maine soldiers
in the Civil War. This led him to begin researching and documenting by town those who served in the
Civil War and update us on that research as well.
