For the 14th Annual Norlands Humanities Conference

"Mysteries of Northern New England”

--where we look at people, places, events, stories, and legends that have attracted curiosity and speculation, but which may have defied explanation or a solution.

THE WASHBURN-NORLANDS LIVING HISTORY CENTER

We welcome the submission of complete two-or three-paper sessions as well as single papers. We also encourage presenters from previous conferences to return, present a paper, and meet old friends. Previously published material should not be submitted.

The conference will be held at theWashburn-Norlands Living History Center, a 445 acre site containing a restored one room school house, farmer’s cottage, free standing library (housing the extensive Washburn family collections), a 200 seat 1828 Universalist Church, and the 1867 Washburn mansion.
