THE PEMBROKE HISTORICAL SOCIETY PRESENTS

"JONESPORT IN THE MOVIES"

by Bill Plaskon, President of Jonesport Historical Society

Tuesday, April 16 at 6:00 PM
at the Pembroke Library and on Zoom


The presentation tells the background stories of eight movies that were partially filmed in Jonesport, set in Jonesport, show Jonesport folks in the movie, or were assisted by the society or the town in making the movie. 

Two of the movies are based on novels by Stephen King. Two of the movies document the centuries-old border dispute between the U.S. and Canada over Machias Seal Island. Another is a Hollywood film version of the most popular Sunday night radio program in the nation in the 1920s, about fictional Jonesport folks. A docu-drama filmed in Jonesport and Israel is about the plight of 157 devout Christians from Jonesport and nearby towns, who in 1866 sailed to Palestine to establish a colony. There is also the movie about a family that built and launched an ill-fated 88-foot sailboat in local waters. Finally, the Jonesport Historical Society provided assistance in making a movie about a female lighthouse keeper, which was partially filmed in Jonesport and at its Moosepeake Lighthouse.
