At Black Travel Maine, our Black History Tours offer a rare and meaningful opportunity to explore Maine’s rich and often overlooked African American history. These tours go beyond textbooks — you’ll learn directly from historians and community members whose families have called Maine home for eight and nine generations. Our guides share lived experiences, stories of resilience, and legacies of community building that have shaped Maine’s cultural heritage for centuries.
Our tours are led by the very people whose families lived this history. You’re not just hearing about the past — you’re hearing from those whose ancestors shaped it. Every stop is an invitation to see Maine through a richer, more inclusive lens.
Whether you join a free community tour or arrange a private experience, you’ll leave with a deeper understanding of Maine’s role in African American history — and the lasting legacy of strength, culture, and connection that continues today.
