Hallowell’s Museum in the Streets © is a tour of the city’s history in twenty signs. Most are within walking distance along Water Street and Second Street. The project began when members of the Hallowell Area Board of Trade decided to create a historical walking tour of the city to promote strolling around and hopefully visiting businesses. Row House, Inc., Hallowell’s historical society, became the fiscal agent and its President, Gerry Mahoney and City Historian Sumner “Sam” Webber guided the editorial development.
The project, a team effort, also involved city government, the Hubbard Free Library and the Hallowell Firefighter’s Association and scores of businesses and individuals as well.
The project was made possible by the generous support of Camden National Bank, Mattson Property Development, LLC., Eric & Pamela Perry and the Perry Family and The Wolfington Group along with thirty Underwriters and Sign Sponsors and Patrons.
