Embark Maine Tours

Had a chance to go Bath, England recently - to say it was epic is an understatement!! Here I am smiling wide with my city of Bath tour guides (one was in training) after our tour. If you zoom in on the right you can see the veteran guide is holding his new memento from me - a city of Bath, ME sticker! The city of Bath, UK offers free tours through the mayor’s office - all volunteers. More on this bucket list trip to come this week!

One of my absolute favorite memories on a tour-a family leaving our Women’s History tour last season. At the last stop, after we dove into the history of Bath Civil War Nurse Sarah Sampson (at the home that she shared with her husband, and where she was saluted by the Grand Army of the Republic during a parade celebrating James Garfield’s presidential election victory) the mother got to share her own story about working as a nurse. It was very poignant for all of us. ❤️ Join us this season - limited tickets available. Learn more and book at embarkmainetours.com

This month I had the chance to speak to the Bath City Council and present a check for $350 to go toward the upkeep of Oak Grove Cemetery. I so appreciate the support of all in the city for all the tours and the business, but Oak Grove is a special case. Though beloved and cared for by many, it doesn’t have a deep well of supporters/benefactors. I made a choice that five dollars from every tour ticket sold would go to the cemetery. Regulations require that the City Council formally “accept” - thank you to the city council for helping to make this happen. I was also invited to speak at the Rotary Club’s weekly lunch at (the historic) and though I generally knew, I was blown away by how much Rotary does to strengthen our city. I was able to tell them a true story which is whenever we run into my students on a tour, if possible I pause and ask my students to tell the tour participants what it’s like to be a kid growing up in Bath, Maine. Without fail, they always say how much they love it and the reasons why are because of the our businesses and organizations like the Rotary working to make it such a special place.
