Adult Education Programs
Old York's adult education programs have been developed in collaboratio with the York Public LIbrary and York Adult Community Education. In addition, the museum has worked closely with local residents to develop programs that suit their interests. At a recent Growing Up in Maine event, a collaborative program with Sentry Hill, longtime residents shared their personal belongings and stories about growing up in this seaside community.
More than simply a presenter, the Museums of Old York is a facilitator, allowing area residents and visitors to explore the topics that are of interest. Through workshops, exhibits, round-table discussions, brown bag lunches and presentations, the museum works to meet the demand for lifelong learning opportunities! If you would like to help design these programs, please share your throughts with us. Contact Richard Bowen at (207) 363-4974 x14 or by email at rbowen@oldyork.org.
