Learn some of the lesser told stories of Lincoln County’s past with an overview of enslavement in Maine, beginning in the 17th century and its expansion in the state for more than two hundred years.

Vana Carmona is the founder of The Prince Project, a database of over 2000 people of color who lived in Maine prior to 1800. Vana had always known that she had descended from a number of early New England settlers, but it was only recently that she discovered the role they had played in enslaving kidnapped Africans.

Vana has given presentations on her genealogical research to various local historical societies and schools and is a docent/guide for several historic sites in the Portland area.
