Come to Acadia National Park to the Abbe Museum’s Sieur de Monts location on Wednesday, Septembers 17th, for our Cultural Connections in the Park series from 11:00am - 3:00pm, with Chris Sockalexis (Penobscot), for a flintknapping demonstration.

Chris is a member of the Penobscot Nation and the Penobscot Nation’s Tribal Historic Preservation Officer. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology from the University of Maine and his current research projects include the Jones Cove shell midden in Frenchman Bay and the archaeology of the Penobscot River watershed. Chris is also extremely skilled in the ancient art and technique of stone and bone tool production. If you have never seen flintknapping, now’s your chance!

Note: This Cultural Connection takes place outside, near the Abbe Museum’s original (circa 1928) trailside museum building at Sieur de Monts. (2 Sieur de Monts Rd, Bar Harbor, ME).
