The Fire of 47

Description

In remembrance of the devastating Fire of 1947, The Bar Harbor Historical Society (BHHS) and The Criterion Theater are collaborating on a special showing of “The Fire of '47.” The fire, which marks its 75th anniversary this year, tore through over 17,000 acres on Mount Desert Island, destroying land, homes, and businesses in its wake. Join them on October 21st at 7:00pm to watch and learn more about the devastation of the inferno, through the stories of those who were there. After the movie, a Q&A will be led by local historian Debbie Dyer. In the lobby will be a special exhibit with fire artifacts from the BHHS's La Rochelle Mansion and Museum. Floor tickets are $5 and balcony are $6. All the proceeds benefit the Bar Harbor Historical Society and The Criterion Theater.
