Discover Kittery’s Overlooked African American History
Kittery offers a compelling look into the history of Africans and their descendants who built communities in a northern Atlantic port town. Led by Sankofa Scholars and Tour Guides Wanda Dorlean and Erika Varga, this walking tour explores the resilience and cultural traditions that helped establish one of Maine’s earliest African American communities.
The experience brings forward stories of enslaved and freed people who lived in the area from colonial times. Guests will learn about the experiences, contributions, and community connections that shaped African American life in Kittery across generations.
The tour also introduces the history of the Black Yankees of the modern era, highlighting a part of New England heritage that has often been overlooked or rarely recognized. Through these stories, visitors gain a deeper understanding of the people and traditions that helped shape the community.
The tour leaves from the office at 2pm. Guests should arrive 10 minutes before departure, as arriving late may result in the spot being given to another participant. Tours operate rain or shine, offering an opportunity to discover this important local history in any weather.
