LEWISTON – A local lawyer and founder of Museum L-A will look at the industrial tradition of Lewiston and Auburn in the second in a series of “Voices” lectures.

Elliott Epstein will present “Lewiston-Auburn in the Vanguard of the Industrial Revolution” from 7 to 8:15 p.m. on Thursday, March 8, at the Lewiston Public Library’s Marsden Hartley Cultural Center.

Epstein will talk about how Lewiston-Auburn was one of the leading centers in the early period of America’s industrialization and the common features it shared with other early industrial cities such as Lowell, Mass., Manchester, N.H., and other industrial cities. He will discuss business, labor, technological, social and immigration patterns created by the Industrial Revolution and the way those patterns still influence our community in its economic revitalization.

“Voices,” a series of guest lecturers focusing on the community’s industrial history and interpreting its affect on the future, is a program of Museum L-A and the Lewiston Public Library.

The series will continue with its third lecture on April 12. For more information, contact Museum L-A at 333-3881.
