DAILY BULLDOG • July 31, 2025
This year commemorates the 250th anniversary of Benedict Arnold’s march through the Maine wilderness to capture Quebec. To honor this daring journey, the Arnold Expedition Historical Society (AEHS) is offering three guided hikes along a section of the Arnold Trail to Quebec, known as the “Great Carrying Place Portage Trail,” retracing the steps of Arnold’s 1,000-man army. Arnold and Native Americans before him used the portage trail to travel between the Kennebec River and the Dead River, avoiding 18 miles of dangerous white water and several days of travel. The same hike will be offered on Saturday, August 16; Saturday, September 27; and Saturday, October 18, 2025.Each hike is limited to 20 participants on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration ends 08/13/2025.
