Sarah Jane Wallace: Post Office Murals

August 22, 2019

Tuesday, September 17 at 7:00 pm ~ Yarmouth History Center welcomes art historian Sarah Jane Wallace to the Fall Lecture Series at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, September 17. In a talk entitled “WPA Post Office Murals in Maine,” Wallace will explore the rich, but often overlooked, history of these wall paintings created for Maine post offices during the Depression era.

Sarah Jane Wallace majored in art history at the College of Wooster and later worked for the Smithsonian Institution and PBS before joining the technology sector as a research analyst. She currently resides in Yarmouth.  

This lecture is free for members of Yarmouth Historical Society and $5 for all others. The lecture series is sponsored by the Leon and Lisa Gorman Fund.
