Historic Liberty Hall will open its doors to the public for a grand open house from 1-4 p.m. Saturday, July 26, at 325 Port Road/Route 92, in Machiasport. The event comes 152 years after the construction of the majestic building, just a stone’s throw from the Gates House, was completed in 1873. 

The event’s organizers say the focus of this year’s open house is on the building’s theatrical history. The group also hopes the event will raise awareness and funds to continue restoration work to return the building to use by the community.
