Lewiston Labor History Walking Tour
Featured
Interested in learning more about the labor history of Lewiston? We have teamed up with the Scontras Center for Labor and Community Education to bring you a fun and history-filled walking tour. We will explore the city’s rich labor history, from the textile mills that drew thousands of French-Canadian immigrants, to the union halls and churches that anchored community life. We explore the streets of “Petit Canada” where workers built a home away from home. We’ll discuss stories of strikes, struggles, and resilience that shaped Lewiston’s identity. The 2 mile walk begins at Kennedy Park, a longtime gathering place for rallies, protests, and community celebrations.
We will end the tour back at Kennedy Park, and then head to an optional free lunch at Davinci’s.
This event is in-person only and capped at 30 people. Register here!
After the event, the walking tour information and images will be posted in an online walking tour that you can view from anywhere!
