WEDNESDAY
Baxter’s Rare Tales
7 p.m. in Portland
The Maine Outdoor Adventure Club’s monthly meeting will feature John Neff and Howard Whitcomb sharing their knowledge of the Katahdin region’s history and the creation of Baxter State Park. Their new book, “Baxter State Park and Katahdin,” draws on rich collections of archival images, many never published, dating to the 19th century. Among the topics to be discussed will be tales of native peoples, accounts of early scientific explorations, chronicles of adventurers, and the spirited era of logging and sporting camps. The meeting, held at the Allen Avenue Unitarian Universalist Church at 524 Allen Ave., is free and open to the public. Visit www.moac.org.
